One of the survivors in Spain of the free distribution press is the specialized publication Diario Médico, which has been disseminating health issues among professionals of the National Health System for 25 years. We did an exploratory-descriptive study about its origins and current situation, paying attention to its labour in paper, through the printed product, and in Red, through diariomedico.com. The techniques are the interview with its deputy director and the analysis of its products. The mixed format defines Diario Médico: it maintains its commitment to offer information on paper, despite having reduced the periodicity from daily to weekly; leads its paper readers to Orbyt, the digital press kiosk of the promoter group, Unidad Editorial, where it offers seven pages a day in pdf format with information for subscribers, and on the Web, with an edition that opens to the participation of the user. The informative tone of its contents and its usefulness for society, together with the growing interest of the non-specialized public in medicine and health, lead to Diario Médico, in our opinion, to have a double objective public: society in general and professionals of the System in particular.

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.

The aim of this paper is to analyze metaphors about the social outbreak in editorials, from Diario El Sur and Diario Concepción, two of Concepción's local newspapers. The corpus was composed of 23 editorials from these newspapers. Metaphor identification was done through Discourse Dynamics Approach to Metaphor. A total of 653 metaphors was found, which was then grouped, resulting in a total sum of 268 metaphors for the analysis. In this research, the editorial perspective about the social outbreak of two local newspapers was studied through metaphor. In both media outlets, similar metaphor vehicles were used. While Diario El Sur prioritizes the need for normalization, Diario Concepción legitimates the demonstrations as an expression of social discontent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to analyse a corpus of 137 texts published between 1888 and 1899. These texts are included in one of the most successful Spanish-language newspapers published in the United States during the second half of the nineteenth century: Las Novedades (New York, 1876-1918). In the analysis I will determine the linguistic ideologies and the discursive strategies used for the promotion of Hispanism and Spanish language in a sociopolitical context in which the Spanish hegemony was losing all its power at an international level. Thus, the ideologies found are divided in two different categories: the linguistic ideologies that give the language a cultural value and the linguistic ideologies that make reference to the economic and commercial value of the language. The results obtained from this analysis will contribute to understand the role of Spanish language in the United States. Furthermore, this paper presents an unpublished corpus of clear historiographic interest that contributes to clarify the panorama of Hispanism in a country like the United States.

This paper investigates the media discourses about gender violence of Spanish and Italian newspapers on Facebook, focusing on the aggressors. Analyzing the ideology, we see if the news let infer a social or a patriarchal perspective about gender violence, considering both newspapers and users' discourses. We adopt the Critical Discourse Analysis perspective, with a linguistic-discoursive glance and with a journalistic one. And with a linguistic-cognitive-semiotic and analytical methodology. Results tell us that the Spanish and Italian press represent the aggressors through a patriarchal ideology, influencing the users' discourses. Moreover, both in the newspaper discourses and in the users', we find differences between Spanish and Italian texts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes an intense controversy in which prominent members of a conservative sector of the Aguascalientes society took part, who manifested themselves through the local press, regarding the fact that in the second courtyard of the Government Palace the Chilean artist Osvaldo Barra Cunningham made, in 1961, the mural painting Aguascalientes en la historia. Some subjects in which the historical evolution of the Catholic Church is represented caused sting in certain sectors of the population, who felt aggrieved for interpreting, that the faith, beliefs and religious sensibilities of Catholics were freely offended. Images of religion captured on the walls of a civic monument, in an atmosphere prior to the Second Vatican Council, is the object of study in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to study how the armed movement known as the Cristiada (1926-1929), that opposed the State with the Catholic Church in Mexico, was a symbolic event for the development and transmission of anticlerical thought through Latin America. From discourses circulated at journals such as Amauta (Peru), Claridad (in Argentina and Chile), and Repertorio Americano (Costa Rica) we will study reasons, circumstances and ideologies that took the Mexican case as an intellectual guide for Latin American modernization.

Methodological criteria that may serve as a guideline to monetize press photographic collections from their reuse are presented and discussed. ABC (Spain) and The New York Times (USA) were taken as paradigms, and different aspects raised by the information and documentation professionals were considered: quantity and wealth of images, and internal and external demand. Every photographic press fund is susceptible to being monetized, although for its profitability it is necessary to design plans based on specific criteria such as the methodology proposed in this paper, which is based on three phases (prior, intermediate and applicative), and comprises the quantification, qualification, documentary treatment, users typology and dissemination. The analysis shows that a greater involvement on the part of photographers and press editors is necessary to make profitable the available photograph holdings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reconstructs and examines the participation in public life of the Chilean writer Francisco Bilbao during the early years of his political exile in the Argentine provinces (1857-1859). Its objective is to make a contribution to the studies on Bilbao and on political exile by considering the reasons that led him to choose that fate and examining the conditions that allowed him to play a relevant role in the press and in the associative movement despite being a political exile with revolutionary backgrounds and radical ideas. To that end, the characteristics of the society that welcomed him and his family, as well as the intellectual and political ties he wove are considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This text details the entertainment spaces where Delahuertistas and Escobaristas leaders participated during their exile in the United States, in the 1920s and 1930s. Their presence in movies, radio stations and festivals echoed them in the English press (main source for this paper), and in turn helped --consciously or not-- to project an image of the exile, the veteran of the revolution and the Mexican migrant. The protagonists of these exiles worked in the United States on movies, radio stations, newspapers, cultural festivals, theaters, and more, and learned about the practice. Taking into account that the majority of them returned to Mexico, and that some continued with these activities, we propose that the exiles imported cultural capital, which had repercussions on national artistic and cultural movements, such as the era of Mexican gold cinema.

The paper analyzes the informative coverage of 9 Latin American newspapers on the general election held in Spain on November 10, 2019. This is considered an important event that helped close a turbulent period of the national political life. A content analysis sheet was applied to all texts regarding the campaign appeared between November 1 and 11 (n = 35), considering, among other variables, location, extension, authorship, sources, genres, nature of the content and frame. The results allow concluding that the selected newspapers dedicated a wide space to the November 10 election. Furthermore, media outlet granted part of their coverage an interpretive dimension and offered a vision on the campaign dominated by the strategic and game frames, since they placed the focus on the polls and the possibility of post-electoral agreements.

The rejection of the peace accords with farc sharply contrasts with the popular reaction to the demobilization process of the auc a decade earlier. In this paper I examine the discourse of the conflict with the purpose of exposing the latent ideologies that legitimate the use of violence. For this purpose, first, I examine the nature of ideology and its inextricable relation with language; then, I present empirical evidence of the discursive construal of paramilitarism as a minor agent in the conflict, and I link the resultant perception with an analysis of the nature of the Colombian conflict from a sociological perspective.

The launching of Marca España in June 2012 reveals the Spanish Government concern to improve the country image both abroad and within the national territory. Some relevant people have a key role in the construction of the country image (Anholt, 2009a, Peralba, 2010). This article describes the features of the journalistic coverage of the term 'marca España' linked to specific people between 2012 and 2015, a period defined by a context of economic, social and institutional crisis. All the pieces that include the expression 'marca España' are analyzed through a content analysis and the three Spanish newspapers with the widest distribution, El País, El Mundo and La Vanguardia, are taken as a sample. This paper shows the close journalistic link between marca España and the Crown, the President of the Government and personalities of the political and business class as well as sport and culture.

The poetic work of Esther Tapia de Castellanos is a key piece for the understanding of two fundamental cultural phenomena in the process of construction of the national project of the Mexican liberals; from the perspective of the political use of literature, it contributes to the configuration of one / another sense of Homeland, because his poems propose feminine images that endow the face of the nation with the idea of a nation that tried to settle down in those years; from the purely literary representation, his poetry is full of portraits of the must be of the Mexican woman. In the communion of both aspects Esther Tapia's poetry is, at the same time, an exercise of acceptance of the roles traditionally imposed on women and a subversive act against them, if we consider that the incursion of women in the field of the literary creation goes beyond the limits of the closed and intimate space of the home and appropriates the public scenarios reserved for the male. In this paper we propose an approach to the poems of Esther Tapia that were published in the nineteenth century press. We took as a starting point the notion of Homeland to analyze from the poetic mechanisms employees, the way in which the female subject is refracted in the texts of this author.

In this paper we present the bases for the aseptic establishment of Monstera acuminata Koch and Monstera deliciosa Liebm from leaves and the induction of in vitro organogenesis of M. acuminata K. from discs of stems of young shoots. Different disinfection protocols were applied to mature leaves and young shoots, from which foliar explants of 1 cm2 of both species were extracted, and stem disks approximately 1 mm of thick in M. acuminata K. The explants were established in semi-solid media with different hormonal treatments during the stage of aseptic establishment and induction of organogenesis. Disinfection with 3% of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) for 20 min and 50% Murashige y Skoog medium (1962) with PPM, led to less oxidation in the leaf explants of both species. All the explants in the two treatments belonging to M. deliciosa, grown in medium added with PPM and different disinfection protocols, survived, did not present contamination and more than 80% maintained answer's capacity until 49 days of culture. After 35 days of culture, with disinfection in Tween 20 + Ethanol 20% + 2.5% NaClO, and sowing of the explants in the MS medium added with 1 mg/l of BAP, 0.5 mg/l of AIA and 0.1 mg/l of ANA was induced to induce seven new shoots of stem disks. M. deliciosa had better ability to adapt to in vitro conditions. Advances in the establishment and induction of organogenesis in native araceas for wicker production are the basis for ex situ conservation of local populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

On this paper, the understanding about how the Chilean written press constructs the mapuche culture will be propose, taking into account the news coverage of the mapuche prisoners' hunger strike to withstand the application of the anti-terrorism law in 2010.The main findings of this investigation are focused on the exclusive use of official sources for the journalistic approach of the indigenous protest, the elaboration of discursive-ideological strategies dividing them from us, and the transmission of a discriminatory and racist vision of the mapuche ethnicity through the intersemiosis of images and words from news.

This paper investigates the way LGTBI+ people are represented by conservative and progressive Spanish newspapers. With this purpose in mind, a corpus has been compiled with news items published regarding the ratification of the legal nature of homosexual marriage in Spain on November 6, 2012. As a method, we have analyzed transitivity and the semantic roles of processes as an instrument of the Critical Discourse Analysis methodology. The main results reveal that there is a substantial difference between conservative and progressive newspapers: the prominence given by the conservative press to LGTBI+ people represents just one third of that displayed by the progressive press; the conservative press reduces the levels of consciousness, voice, cognition, desire, emotion and perception as compared to the progressive, which strengthens them. Finally, the conservative press uses negative processes as an LGTBI+ people's intrinsic feature; whilst the progressive uses them to reveal social injustice against them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on the newspaper El Salvadoreño and its role in political discourse during the tumultuous years of the civil war in Central America between 1826 and 1829. Particular emphasis is given to the editorial board's use of concepts such as revolution, aristocracy, people, citizen, and patriotism, and to its goal of influencing public opinion regarding Salvadoran interests in the conflict. This review of El Salvadoreño also provides information regarding the aspirations and interests of Salvadorans during those years, while increasing our understanding of Central America and its people.

This article analyzes the editorial position of the Peronist magazine Línea in the face of the formation of the Multipartidaria between 1981 and 1982, during the Argentine military dictatorship (1976-1983). The Multipartidaria brought together the main Argentine political parties and functioned as a tool to pressure the military government of the time to lay the foundations of the transition to democracy. However, it featured a more "moderate" sector, inclined to the agreement with the dictatorship, and a "harder" one, not inclined to agreement with the dictatorship. The paper studies how Línea evaluated the emergence of this new political space, what position it should adopt in the face of the dictatorship and how the Peronism that integrated it was to be handled.

During the Transition, a part of the emerging press, in this case the comic weeklies El Papus (1977) and El Jueves (1973-1987), used humor as an informative and innovative weapon to promote, with remarkable social repercussion, a sarcastic view of Spanish social and political drift. This paper pretends to analyze what was the concrete editorial position of both publications in front of the essential political events of the Transition during these years and the constituent legislation itself (June 1977- December 1978). The text reviews the political position and analyzes how both magazines faced the emerging party system, in addition to consider whether they came to constitute the first manifestation of dissidence, of what is known as political "disenchantment", an early indication of discrediting the new political system which has occupied little attention in studies of that time.

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 the press control practices used by the provincial political powers of Entre Ríos between 1862 and 1870. This period was characterized by an increasing political dispute and the deepening of public debate. An indication of this process is the increase in the number of newspapers and the diversity of their political positions. Most of the newspapers were Federalists and supporters of Urquiza, but they maintained a space of discursive autonomy and what was published did not always go along the lines of the caudillo's interest. Also, there were Unitary and dissident Federal newspapers which were very critical of the provincial government and the figure of Urquiza. Respect for press freedom as a legitimating principle of the exercise of power prevented the development of legislation restricting that freedom and discouraged the practice of filing law suits for libel against publishers or journalist among provincial officials. Hence, the way in which political power managed to limit opinion was dominated by informal practices of political control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the conflictive implementation of freedom of the press in Buenos Aires, after the fall of Rosas' regime. It examines norms and the initiatives to reform them, some trials, government actions, and the debates within the legislature and the press. The study discusses the traditional interpretation according to which, in the province of Buenos Aires, those years were characterized by a wide freedom of expression. It also argues that the difficulties to implement freedom of the press in the 19th century are explained by the tension between the consideration of the press as a pillar of civilized, republican societies and, at the same time, as a corrosive agent of the social and political order.

This paper analyses the language's identitary space within the migratory process of the arabs onto Chile through the journalistic and literary activities developed by the immigrant community in this country. Secondly, it points out the feeling of arabicity or arabism that promotes and recreates this litterary corpus, which profoundly marks the poetic production of various generations of arab and chilean writers of arab origin. To this end, it presents textual samples of articles from the newspaper al-Iṣlāḥ (La Reforma), later called Mundo Árabe, and various poetic samples from the literary figures: Mahfud Massis (1916-1990), Matías Rafide Batarce (1929) y Emilio Mohor Zummers (1920-2002), amongst other big exponents of the arabic literature.

This is the restitution of land in 2007 and the construction of "Pueblo Ranquel" for the community life of this population, inaugurated in 2009. The objective is to examine the journalistic notes, paying special attention to the representations built towards the natives, as well as around the emerging relation between them and the state. The focus is set on news of El Diario de la República, at the province capital, although also includes publications of other national newspapers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses media coverage of corruption scandals in Spain between 1996 and 2009. The fi rst aim is to determine to what extent the two most-read newspapers in Spain, El País and El Mundo, cover corruption scandals following different political orientations. Results illustrate highly partisan media coverage: there are important differences in how these newspapers cover corruption cases, depending on the political party involved (PP or PSOE). A second goal is to analyse whether the media influence citizens' perception of corruption as a public problem. Results show that, when the number of news stories on political corruption increases, the percentage of citizens that consider corruption as one of the most important problems in Spain also increases. Media impact on public opinion is high and occurs in the short- to mid-term. Finally, the paper analyses to what extent the perception of corruption is influenced by changes in the perception of the economic situation, by showing that this variable has low explanatory power compared to media coverage.

This paper analyses deeply the news related to Food Safety published throughout 2014 in the four newspapers of greatest diffusion in the Galician Community in order to know their journalistic treatment and the most relevant topics. The most recurrent themes were Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. The Sea section was the one that included the largest number of news due to the importance of the fishing sector in Galicia. Information such as the distribution of fishing quotas or the Russian veto to European agricultural-food products was monitored continuously. News, related to nutrition and health, were also frequently published, highlighting the beneficial effect of the consumption of foods included in the Atlantic diet. Although serious food risks did not occur, the analyzed press also collected widely the health alert in France attributed initially to the consumption of Galician mussels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Christian Century, an American Protestant magazine of religious news, paid detailed attention to the situation of the Spanish Protestant minority under the denominationally Catholic Franco's dictatorship. The lack of religious freedom was one of the most relevant and troublesome aspects of the bilateral relation between Spain and the United States in the Cold War historical framework. In this paper the time immediately before the signature of the agreements is considered. It was a historical moment in which the Franco regime was getting rid step by step of its ostracism, but it was not yet integrated in the U.S.-led global strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The first reported case of transmission of the Ebola virus in Europe occurred in Spain. The subsequent management of communication surrounding the 'outbreak' brought about a crisis with implications for both health authorities and the media. This paper explores the management of institutional communication by the Ministry of Health, within the first forty-eight hours leading up to the diagnosis, as well as the Spanish press' coverage of the "crisis of Ebola". Focus will be placed on the analysis of the front pages of 6 Spanish newspapers (with the largest national circulation) as well as 17 regional newspapers, and their possible sensationalist impact within those first forty-eight hours (October 7th and 8th, 2014).

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]

Gabriela Mistral and Alfonsina Storni were fully aware that they were living in a time of transition, marked by great economic, political and social transformations. The essays and chronicles they publish in newspapers and magazines between the end of 1910 and 1930 give testimony to their particular point of view about these processes of modernization as well as to their attempts to intervene and destabilize the hegemonic discourses about them. The purpose of this paper is to reflect upon the relationship between Mistral and Storni with certain aspects of modernization, based on their journalistic prose. What does it mean for them, as women, writers and workers, to live in a time of transition? What is their particular vision of a period of radical transformation for women and other disempowered people? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La población magrebí ha sido uno de los colectivos inmigrantes más numerosos en el territorio español desde finales del siglo XX, lo que ha motivado que posea una notable representación en sus medios de comunicación. Por ello, este trabajo ha tenido como objetivo examinar el tratamiento de las informaciones publicadas sobre la población magrebí y los aspectos teóricos del binomio framing-mundo araboislámico en los periódicos de tirada nacional y regional en España durante la crisis. Para llevar a cabo el estudio, se empleó una metodología mixta basada en el análisis de contenido cuantitativo y cualitativo. El análisis concluye que el frame más habitual es el de interés humano, aunque se ofrezca una representación negativa de este colectivo, un hecho que puede derivar en actitudes y discursos críticos con lo araboislámico. The Maghreb population has been one of the largest groups of immigrants in Spain since the end of the 20th century. This has led to a noteworthy representation in the Spanish media. By focusing on national and regional newspapers during the economic crisis in Spain, the paper aims at examining the treatment of the Maghreb population and certain theoretical aspects of binomial framing of the Arab-Islamic world. A mixed methodology based on quantitative and qualitative analysis of content was used to carry out this study. The analysis concludes that the most common frame is human interest, although a negative representation of this group is offered, a fact that may lead to critical discourse and attitudes towards the Arab-Islamic world.

In El Torito de los Muchachos (1830), Luis Pérez deploys voices, not always Gauchos and Federalists, but sometimes Uniterian and literate, who utter fictional truths in the form of a confession. In a historical moment in which the press was a vehicle of influence on public opinion, Pérez aims his publications toward broad swaths of the public to include of illiterate groups through oral readings. This paper analyzes the ways in which these confessions allowed truths to stand up amid a war of words, as they sought to occupy an imagined public space on whose field discursive conflicts were fought.

E-health is the application of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to the field of healthcare. One of the most significant branches is telemedicine, which is the use of new technologies to provide healthcare remotely. The purpose of this paper is to establish what image telemedicine has, using the theories of agenda setting and framing, both of which come from the area of communication. To do so, a content analysis of the Spanish press was carried out over 5 years (2010-2015), using both general and specialist press sources (El País, El Mundo, ABC, Diario Médico and Gaceta Médica). The results show that telemedicine is not widely covered in the media and features more often in sections other than health. The main issues which it is linked to are: developments in telemedicine and, on the other hand, input from the world of politics, with particular emphasis on the future possibilities for telemedicine.

The paper provides Recol ReCol (1949-2010), a documentary source of local news repertoire. The article analyzes the rhetorical devices of publishing: the arguments about the journalistic project, its characteristics and purposes. These observations are useful to know the quality of discursive practices, their veracity and institutional loyalty by the editor. By linguistic and legal criteria, the study concludes that the consistorial journalism of that time has been irregular and controversial. On a positive note, research can assess the importance of local news corpus. It also recommends a demanding precise regulation on good discursive practices of public administration.

This article presents a part of the research study regarding the process of constructing representations within the national and international press about the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia -- People's Army (FARC -- EP) throughout a period from its inception as a guerrilla group in 1964, to its consolidation as an army which set the Colombian State on edge in 1996. This paper is exclusively focused on the months of May to June 1984, the first month of the ''ceasefire'' agreed with the government of President Belisario Betancur (1982 -1986). The ambivalence of representations is discussed herein, as well as how the image of a narco-guerrilla gradually takes shape. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper seeks to reveal, from a rhetorical perspective, the way in which Shakespeare is portrayed in the press of the Canary Islands in the nineteenth century. In accordance with the studies of reception carried out at that time, the artist is shown in commendatory terms and he is granted an extraordinary, even supernatural, aura. The corpus used for this study provides a classification of rhetorical figures, one that focuses on the interaction with the reader and the authors' wish to share the admiring image of the poet and playwright. Bearing in mind the effect that the critics' words can have when they regard the English writer, I use Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca's classification, who distinguish among figures of choice, presence and communion. This classification is intent on determining the effect that certain figures can have in the choice of some words, in the increase of Shakespeare's presence, and in the establishment of communion with the audience so that they feel inclined to share the authors' theses.

The term "Fuenteovejuna" has been used by the media of Spain and Latin America to apply to events of very different natures that in some cases share little in common with Spanish Golden Age Lope de Vega's Fuente Ovejuna. Although most news publications highlight the raising of a group of people against a situation that they consider unfair, only a few news stories portray a violent situation of self-defense against the atrocities and barbarities of an unjust ruler, as is the case in Lope's work. This paper will study the way in which the comedy Fuente Ovejuna has been read by literary critics and used by the press, to study the image that the media offers of society. The analysis of approximately one hundred news stories will show that the issue of violence and self-defense is currently only present in those that take place in Latin America, where the word "Fuenteovejuna" is generally met with negative associations. In contrast, the research will demonstrate that Spanish media often uses the word "Fuenteovejuna" positively and uses it to refer to the nonviolent demonstrations of a multitude in political and social news, which often takes place in Spain.

In this paper we intend to address an analysis of the publication of domestic violence and femicide cases, through a survey conducted with four Argentine newspapers during the first half of 2012. We are interested in enquiring who the privileged representatives by the media are when reporting on the phenomenon, in order to distinguish the space of enunciation that the press gives to diverse actors. Through the analysis of the stories of aggressors, family, justice and victims, we intend to observe the diverse positions and the arguments involved and elucidate who has a louder voice in defining and fixing the interpretations of femicide and gender violence. Based on this, we seek to catch a sight of the reduced space women take up in a sea of voices in counterpoint. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
