This research deals with the editorial positioning of 15 Spanish and Portuguese newspapers and magazines on Marcelo Caetano's official visit to Spain in 1970. The editorials and opinion articles are analysed using a quantitative, qualitative and comparative methodology. We identify different ideological orientations. The paper concludes that the official newspapers and some moderate ones were triumphalist in the opinions expressed; few opinions distanced themselves from the official political slogans; and the opposition press oscillated between keeping silent and expressing reservations about both regimes.

This theoretical approach aims to understand how the professional work of journalists and press determine the guideline of news about ethnic minority. For this, Critical Discourse Analysis, Media Sociology, and their corresponding analytical categories, like epistemological and methodological constructs, will be applied. These elements will be related with theoretical and empirical investigations to prove the thesis of this paper: the racist praxis of journalism culture comes from the own conditioning of the work of the media organizations, making a discriminatory discourse about ethnic minority (migrants and native people).

This paper analyzes 621 videos published during two weeks on the front pages or covers of five Spanish digital newspapers (abc.es, elconfidencial.com, elmundo.es, elpais.com and lavanguardia.com). The contents, genres, formats and structures of these videos have important singularities -both own and external production- in regard to the typical audiovisual production of television news. In addition to data from fieldwork, this study provides the ideas from audiovisual department heads about the role of video in digital media. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The television was born in Spain in the fifties. The TV went through several stages: limited practices, a pilot phase, the official opening in 1956 and, finally, the consolidation of the medium. So began the social recognition among various sectors of communication and media in the dictatorship. The film industry will participate in this process, as a sector directly affected to the disclosure of new media. The film industry was shown in the press between concern and generated hope and critical debates on the future relations between cinema and television. This paper describes, analyzes and classifies critical stance from cinema over the nascent television. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
