The exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union, popularly known as Brexit, has a great media coverage in Spain. Thus, this paper analyses the journalistic treatment and the ideological bias that this political event received. To do this, a study of the semantic prosody of the term 'Brexit' in the Spanish press was carried out. The study covers a broad period of time, from the exit referendum in June 2016 to the second extension in October 2019. To achieve the analysis, a corpus for specific purposes was compiled made up of the most widely read newspapers in Spain according to the Estudio General de Medios. Specifically, four generalist newspapers (El País, El Mundo, La Vanguardia and ABC) and three economic newspapers (Expansión, Cinco Días and El Economista). The data obtained showed that Brexit received mostly negative coverage in all newspapers, especially economic newspapers that presented a greater number of negative co-occurrences with the term Brexit.

This paper analyzes the information coverage by the Spanish newspapers El país, El mundo, ABC, and La vanguardia in Twitter on the electoral campaign prior to the 10 November 2019 general elections. A content analysis of all tweets published by these media regarding the elections (n = 1,462) between Friday 1 and Saturday 9 November reveals that, although there are differences in the production patterns and features of the messages, the subject received notable attention in all the newspapers. The coverage gravitated around two main themes: the 4N electoral debate, and campaign events. The results reveal that, although most of the tweets had a neutral tone, messages with clear positioning corresponding to the editorial line of the newspaper were also published, albeit to a lesser extent. During the electoral period, the media agenda revolved around this issue, accounting for around one-fifth of all pieces published on Twitter. Newspapers do not take advantage of the dialogic nature or possibilities offered by this social network to create a community among their readers, limiting themselves to the dissemination of content from their digital edition.

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.

Introduction: The main objective of this paper is to analyse the relevance that Spanish digital newspapers grant to the struggles of a part of the Spanish population to access a sufficient nutrition. Concepts like hidden hunger and food accessibility are used to understand this. Methodology: the contents published in 2017 by our digital mastheads (elpais.com, lavanguardia.com, abc.es and eldiario.es) were analysed by means of content analysis and the framing theory. Results and conclusions: The findings of this study disclose the complexity of the subject and the diversity of framings: Solidarity, Hunger/ Famine, Waste and Access. Likewise, a translation from the international to the national scope is confirmed. The hunger in Spain is a "hidden hunger" and it is constructed as a problem that impacts "disadvantaged" individuals, faceless, where causes are generally avoided, and the solutions are monopolised by supportive initiatives.

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]

This paper tries to study the way Spanish society looked at the economic crisis started at the second half of the 70’s and developed during the first steps of the Spanish transition to democracy. In order to research into the most spread topics and to discover which aspects of that crisis were considered most important, cartoons published by the main Spanish newspapers have been analysed. Those papers have been selected not only by their circulation, but also by their representation of different social groups or ideological tendencies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to study the use of the “«hot news» Present Perfect" in the Spanish digital press as it appears in 39 articles of several online newspapers. Stress is laid on the combination of Simple Past and Present Perfect forms in these texts, their productivity and performance. The results are also compared with the same occurrences in the American Spanish online press. We conclude that the hot news Perfect is a special type of Present Perfect which functions as a stylistic resource in the Spanish digital press, but is non-existent in the American one. It does not correspond exactly to the “recent past" Present Perfect, with which it is often linked, for its main function is not to narrate recent facts but to focus on current events, leaving the events in the Past Simple form in the background.

This paper shows a set of techniques designed purpose of graph construction aimed at the apparition of either concepts or issues in a collection of texts. The aim is to analyze graphically the semantic connections that can be found in a selected textual corpus as a complement to the study of the statistical frequency of the different elements. The key contribution of this proposal is the use of network analysis for those items that are statistically connected. The use and range of these techniques are shown through the analysis of a database compiled by J.J. Linz composed by more than 76.000 Spanish newspapers articles on the transition to the democracy, published between 1958 and 1987. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper shows the most relevant conclusions of the research: "The informative image in online media: newspaper, radio and television". Firstly, the author presents the theory and methodology employed and them she describes how they are applied to a sample collected in 2004. This consisted of 311 images from online editions of newspaper La Vanguardia, El País and El Mundo; the radio stations Cadena Ser, Onda Cero, COPE, as well as broadcasters Antena 3 and Telecinco. Finally it explores how the object of study has changed and developed until 2008 and its possible lines of research. One of the main conclusions is that the modular design of the pages undermines the visual message. The presentation is homogeneous and the edition of the images is sharp to adjust them to fixed sizes. Authors have become anonymous, whereas news agencies have become the main suppliers of images.

According to public opinion the increasing number of foreign population has became one of the most problematic issues in the last decade. Since 2005 immigration is the second biggest concern for Spaniards after unemployment and followed by terrorism. It is has became a state issue and a central government worry of utmost importance. The media coverage given to immigration is very important, specifically the way in which it is approached and presented to the readers. This paper shows the different perspectives or frames used by two key nationwide Spanish newspapers, El País y El Mundo, to cover one of the migration crises that took place in the Canary Islands in spring 2006. Following Framing theory, media content has been analyzed using variables to show the different ways in which these media depict the phenomenon of migration and the approach which each newspaper follows.
