The social media platform Facebook turned twenty in 2024 and currently has three billion monthly users. From the beginning, the press relied on this platform to publish its news content, achieving a high engagement rate and significant website traffic from Facebook. This research aims to study the positioning that the Spanish press (El País, El Mundo, ABC, La Vanguardia, El Español, elDiaro.es, El HuffPost, and 20 Minutos) is developing on this platform to confirm mainly whether there have been variations in this period and what their short- and long-term strategies could be as a result of the latest events that have impacted this platform. This research will adopt a mixed approach. In the first phase, we will quantitatively analyse the evolution of the acquisition of followers, the number of posts, and audience interactions over 10 years, from 1 January 2014 to December 2023, with a sample of N = 1,579,267 posts. The second part analyses qualitative data collected through interviews with the selected media managers. This research concludes by confirming that most of the newspapers in this sample are changing their strategy on this platform, mainly due to the difficulty of acquiring new users and the decrease in the engagement rate of their community.

This article presents the main results concerning the communication activity on the official Facebook page of the Directorate-General for Health (DGS, its Portuguese acronym), of the Portuguese Ministry of Health, during the Covid-19 pandemic. The DGS, as the main communicator on health matters, played a seminal role in the fight against Covid-19 through the guidance and clarification of citizens. Therefore, this analysis is focused in one of the most critical periods of the pandemic, 03/02/2020 - 12/27/2020, estimating a sum of 1,199 publications made. One of the main issues discussed relates to the health literacy levels in Portugal; its impact on individuals' decision-making process concerning their own health; ultimately how health literacy can be used as a strategy to eradicate and prevent future health crisis situations. The main results of this study emphasize that the Portuguese health authorities started using social media as an important means to convey health information to the population.

The research aimed to identify the behavior of organizations promoting vaccine rejection through Facebook in the context of the Covid-19 vaccination campaign. To achieve the study's purpose, the posts with the highest number of reactions on Facebook were observed and analyzed, as well as the content of these posts and the ways in which anti-vaccine organizations presented their messages on their fan pages. A digital social listening tool was used to analyze the data, providing information on the ranking of published messages, interactions reached, and sentiment assessments. The research found that anti-vaccine organizations used Facebook as one of the communication channels to disseminate messages that contradicted health measures, questioned the legality of vaccination, and opposed the use of masks. In other words, this social network served as a platform to spread messages that distorted the truth of the facts and encouraged various actions against vaccination campaigns. Therefore, during the Covid-19 pandemic, this social network became a crucial information medium for the population, but it was also the most used medium by anti-vaccine organizations to spread misinformation and generate negative emotions among users, ultimately eroding their trust.

The protection of children is a priority obligation in our societies. This study focuses on the delicate field of photographic representation of minors to analyze how their images achieve connections with the people who follow the publications of these organizations. The research aims to question and analyze the secondary victimization of vulnerable minors and the relationship of this treatment with public engagement. A descriptive analysis methodology is applied to the photographs published in the posts of the official Facebook pages of four NGOs dedicated to children. The research finds that boys and girls usually appear as protagonists of the information, but occupying almost 20 percent of the cases the role of victims. The image of girls is used more than boys, and their representation as victims and sufferers is the one that provokes the most engagement. However, the study shows that what generates the most engagement with audiences is merely illustrative and non-dramatic photography of minors, one that avoids symbolic revictimization and allows visual cultures of peace in which children can inhabit positively.

Introduction: Currently deployed mobile contact-tracking applications have failed as an effective solution in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. None of them have succeeded in attracting the number of active users required for efficient operation. Objectives: expand the definition of digital contact tracing systems. Methodology: A protocol for contact tracking using location provider information has been proposed. The protocol has been implemented, and its performance has been measured. Results: the solution has been implemented, which in addition to being efficient guarantees the privacy of users. Conclusion: The presented solution would allow contact tracing, and with sufficient efficiency to scale correctly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: This study analyzes the use that the main NGO in Chile and Spain make of their profiles on Facebook and Instagram. Specifically, we study how they manage their public presence on these social networks, what issues they focus their activity on, how they are connecting with their audiences and the engagement they achieve. Methodology: the content analysis of the publications made by 50 NGO during a month has been used, taking into account quantitative and qualitative variables; the sample has been made up of 25 organizations from each country, selected by means of a non-probability sampling according to predefined criteria. Results: a total of 2,103 publications have been analyzed, which show that Facebook is the most used network, especially in Spain, and also the network with the largest number of followers; the use that NGO give to their profiles is basically informative, but there are differences between Spain and Chile and also by sector of activity of the organizations; the most used format for posting is text and notably the use of hashtags; the most common topics deal with the activities and projects of the NGO with a formal tone. Discussion: taking into account the social nature and the need to generate dialogue and connection with society, NGO should make more effort in their social media profiles given the scope and potential for generating engagement with their audiences. Conclusions: the communication strategies of the NGO in social networks do not take advantage of the power that these channels have to dialogue and establish relationships of trust with their audiences.

In this study we analyze the evolution of local news about COVID-19 by examining news articles in social media. In particular, we focus on the analysis of the differences between traditional and online native local newspapers using a dataset of 278,611 Facebook posts. We study the trends of the interest of these media and the corresponding readers. While the overall interest in COVID-19 of traditional local and native online newspapers were similar and high, some differences were observed. Although both local medias showed some fatigue in the final phases, the interest of digital native local media was greater than that of traditional ones. The opposite happened with readers of traditional local media, who showed slightly more interest. Finally, our results showed that the interest of digital native local media and their readers was significantly more paced and similar than that of traditional ones, where readers showed significantly more interest than the media.

Vaccines are an essential public health resource for disease containment and reduction of associated mortality rates. With the emergence of COVID-19, public debates on the themes of vaccines and vaccination processes became important topics on diverse media and social networking platforms. In this article, our objective was to identify and reflect on the emotions evoked in the Brazilian public with respect to the COVID-19 vaccine during 2020 and 2021 on Facebook. To achieve this, we used the Crowdtangle graphical interface to extract complete copies of posts made by public Facebook profiles during this timeframe, from which a random sample of 1,067 posts was selected for analysis. Identification of emotions was performed using the Human-Machine Interaction Network on Emotion (HUMAINE) descriptors as a baseline reference. Emotions were then grouped into categories following Core Affect Model guidelines. Data analysis and interpretation indicated a prevalence of positive emotions such as trust, interest, and hope directed toward vaccines in the Brazilian domestic scenario. Negative emotions such as worry and disapproval were also expressed, albeit in reference to contextual issues (for example, the spread of COVID-19, delays in vaccine access, and the emergence of new variants) and public figures, such as the President of Brazil.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic drove a demand for information regarding action protocols and measures to be followed among the population. Objectives: To describe and to explore the perceptions of the population about the measures for the detection and prevention of contagion by SARS-CoV-2, based on comments made on a social network. Methods: Research with descriptive and cross-sectional qualitative design. The data collection technique were the comments arising from a publication made on Facebook on the profile of the Altamira health centre. The method of analysis of the results is framed within the phenomenological theory. Results: The post made on August 14, 2020 was shared more than 11,400 times with 437 comments. In them, four categories were detected that express the opinions of the population and that bring together other subunits of meaning: 1st opinion on protocols' changes; 2nd application of the measures in a possible case; 3rd difficulties in understanding the steps to follow; 4th difficulties related to the primary care health center. Conclusions: The importance of transferring clear and understandable information to the public about the measures to be carried out is highlighted, especially in a pandemic context.

Isabel Díaz Ayuso, President of the Community of Madrid, and Yolanda Díaz, Second Vice-President of the Government and Minister of Labor and Social Economy, are two of the most influential Spanish politicians when it comes to female political leadership in Spain (Top 100, 2021; Yo Dona, 2021, 2022) because of their social significance. Both have strengthened their communication strategy on social networks and especially on Facebook, where they regularly provide agenda setting content that is also of interest to citizens. This research carries out an exhaustive quantitative and qualitative content analysis of all the posts published on this digital platform by both female leaders during the first six months of 2022. The results underline their use of Facebook to strengthen their personal brand while they tend to disassociate themselves from political symbolism, which emphasizes, in this context, their tendencies towards personalization through individual leadership and their humanization as political figures. Taking a distinctive approach, Yolanda Díaz opts for relaxed body language and cheerful facial expressions, while Isabel Díaz Ayuso is faithful to her traditional reservedness and seriousness when it comes to gestural communication. Both focus their messages towards citizens and the fulfilment of their electoral programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The consolidation of social media as a form of institutional communication makes it necessary to incorporate specialised workers in this area. Thus, the figure of the community manager and his or her professional skills become very important. The research is based on the hypothesis that primary schools need to have a community manager or a designated worker in place, to carry out their core functions, as better and faster communication between centres and families is becoming essential. This study is an analysis of the inclusion of this professional profile in Primary Schools in Extremadura (Spain). A survey was designed and sent to all the schools, and the social media profiles of the schools were analysed. After processing the data obtained, the results show that the incorporation of this professional profile in the centres is not very widespread in the region analysed. However, primary school management teams are understanding the need for proper management and communication on social media in order to offer the best possible service to their stakeholders.

This study investigates the impact of information, consultation, and communication in Romanian Local Public Administrations within the Online Sphere, where digital transition supplements traditional methods and introduces new opportunities and challenges. The focus is on public engagement in online communications, especially concerning public consultation invitations from local administrations. Data from Facebook posts by the municipalities of Constanta and Cluj-Napoca was analyzed using FanPageKarma and RStudio, providing insights into public participation. The research underscores the importance of online platforms in promoting transparency, citizen engagement, and collaborative decision-making in open governance. It reveals that despite the number of public consultation posts being relatively low, they affirm the commitment to participatory governance. Interestingly, posts not explicitly inviting public consultation saw higher engagement rates, suggesting the necessity of appealing content and audience understanding. The study also found that urban planning posts had lower engagement, indicating a potential need for simpler communication strategies for technical topics. The findings highlight that while digital platforms have been used effectively for citizen engagement, there is a need for continuous improvement and adaptation to maintain transparent and inclusive governance. The research adds to our understanding of the strategies employed in digital transitions and the importance of gauging public perception of online communication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The current digital age has social networks (SS.NN) as its main means of communication. On the other hand, scientific journals (SJ) are a fundamental part of the new knowledge society, the above suggests a link between SJ and SS.NN as content broadcast media. However, the task is not easy, for this to be carried out properly, the SJs must efficiently apply and manage the content they share on the SS.NN, in the case of this study, the social network Facebook. The objective was to describe the characteristics of the content shared by the SJs in the health field indexed in Scielo Spain on the Facebook social network. For this, an empirical investigation was carried out, of a correlational, descriptive and cross-sectional type to the profiles of the SJs in the SS.NN. There is little participation of the SJ in the SS.NN, it can be added that the shared content is devoid of innovation and interaction, characteristics offered by web 2.0, additionally, a statistically significant relationship was found with Rho of 0.706, which suggests a high average relationship. Between the number of years on Facebook by SJs and their number of followers on the social network Facebook. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Scientific journals (RC) guarantee quality and contribute to the construction of knowledge through the publication and dissemination of research results. Methodology: The empirical study had a mixed approach, non-experimental cross-sectional design, descriptive and correlational scope. The social network chosen for the analysis was Facebook, the metric was the number of citations registered in the GScholar profile, the population was 2054 CR from Latin America registered in the 2.0 catalog of the Regional Information System online for Latindex Scientific Journals. The data was analyzed in SPSS 25 software, Spearman's correlation coefficient test was performed. Results: There is a) Low positive correlation between Facebook posts and citations obtained in GScholar, b) Moderate positive correlation between the number of Facebook followers and the number of GScholar citations c) Weak positive correlation between the number of followers of the RC on Facebook and the number of citations obtained by the RC in GScholar. Discussion: The limitation was to consider a single social network; it is suggested for future research to include other social networks and analyze the shared content. Conclusions: The use of social networks and marketing strategies by CRs is an activity that must be incorporated into daily actions considering that, in current times, a large part of the daily activities of people -scientists and researchers included- are develop through digital platforms and devices.

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]

A pesar del fenómeno de la sobreinformación, las plataformas tecnológicas han encontrado una nueva forma de acceso a los contenidos para los usuarios mediante la personalización. Esta microsegmentación o microtargeting conlleva una creciente polarización de la política con posturas ideológicas enfrentadas entre sí creando cámaras de resonancia cada vez más difíciles de desarticular. Con esta investigación se pretende exponer la teoría de la burbuja de filtros enunciada por Eli Pariser (2017) en el contexto español en Facebook e Instagram, siendo esta última red social una novedad en la investigación del tema en España. Mediante un análisis empírico-analítico sustentado en la creación de tres cuentas ficticias de tendencia de derechas, izquierdas y neutra en ambas plataformas, y en un plazo de 6 semanas, se pretendió alcanzar tres objetivos: (1) determinar el número de días que son necesarios en cada cuenta para que actúen los algoritmos y se perciban en primer lugar los contenidos afines y así descubrir qué predisposiciones actúan antes; (2) observar si la burbuja de filtros conduce a una cámara de resonancia que potencie la polarización política y la exaltación de los extremos en esas redes sociales; y (3) definir la temática de las noticias que más se repite en las diferentes cuentas de las dos plataformas sociales y qué medios son los emisores. Los resultados y conclusiones apuntaron que tanto Facebook como Instagram cuentan con algoritmos que personalizan las interacciones en un corto periodo de tiempo -aunque, curiosamente, con dinámicas diferentes según las tendencias-, lo que aviva la polarización y la crispación en el debate político con medios recurrentes para potenciarlo.

The objective of this study was to explore the features of Facebook that generate romantic jealousy in adults. One hundred people from 18 to 30 years old (50% women and 50% men) participated in the study; they were selected in a non-probabilistic accidental way. The Technique of Modified Natural Semantic Networks of Reyes-Lagunes (1993) was applied. The Network Size (NS), Semantic Weight (SW), Network Core (NC), and Quantitative Semantic Distance (QSD) were obtained, both for men as for women. Subsequently, the Group Consensus Index (GCI) was calculated, as well as a Pearson χ² to determine the association between the groups in the repeated definers in the nuclei of the network. The results found help to characterize the different situations that generate jealousy on Facebook with information that emerges naturally from the participants. Likewise, they provide the meaning and language necessary to develop instruments for measuring the construct from the perspective of Ethnopsychometry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Entrepreneurship is an issue of great importance for the economy of a country, since its development drives growth and innovation, According to Quezada, "Entrepreneurship refers to the activity of creating new companies or starting new activities in an existing company". In this sense, digital businesses and social networks are essential tools for entrepreneurship today. Digital businesses are those that are developed in the virtual environment and take advantage of information and communication technologies for their operation. Yánez indicates that "Digital businesses have revolutionized the business world, allowing the creation of new forms of business and the emergence of new business models." There are different economic benefits of Facebook groups for entrepreneurs themselves, since these groups become a valuable tool for Ecuadorians since they allow them to connect with other entrepreneurs and potential clients. (BCE, 2021) Facebook groups can help these companies connect with other entrepreneurs and potential customers, which could help boost Ecuador's economy. Therefore, based on these data, we can say that Facebook groups are today a work tool that helps entrepreneurs, not only to make themselves known but also to have more direct contact with their clients, as well as by Creating or becoming part of a group in this social network, the entrepreneur is helping both his venture and those of others to begin to be recognized.

This research examined the news published by the digital native media El Portal Universitario in the social network Facebook in August 2020 during the first wave of contagion caused by the pandemic of covid-19 in Puno. The objective of the study was to analyze the use of cyberjournalistic genres and digital journalistic characteristics such as hypertextuality, multimediality, instantaneity and interactivity. The quantitative approach method was used with a descriptive-analytical non-experimental design. Two techniques were used: content analysis, which allows counting and tabulation from the parameters required by cyberjournalism in social networks, considering only those publications related to the health crisis, and the structured interview. After the analysis, it was determined that the pandemic context was unfavorable for El Portal Universitario, which had more than 370 thousand followers and transcended in the regional territory, by changing its editorial line of university affairs, to cover rather, regional information about the pandemic by covid-19. Not being a topic from a university informative perspective, it evidenced professional limitations in the quality of its contents, with ignorance of the characteristics of the digital native media, losing reach and influence of its publications in the followers.

This article presents a review of the methodology of my doctoral thesis research, in which the interactions generated in three Facebook (FB) groups were structuring resources. We pursue two objectives. The first one, to reconstruct the place of these sources in the re-formulation of the research problem (and the consequent findings) as well as the difficulties I had to place and prioritize them as the main tools for data production. We also seek to reinstate the challenges and advantages imposed by the source throughout the research. The second objective is to analyze the synergy between the digital sources of information and the analytical and methodological perspectives adopted in the thesis. For this purpose, the work is structured in five sections. In the first, I review the theoretical and analytical coordinates from which the article starts. In the second, I analyze the role of digital sources in the structuring of my doctoral research. In the third, I explain how I worked with the FB groups, paying attention to the operational management of the data and the path I followed (intuitively) to arrive at the methodological approach used: virtual ethnography (Hine, 2000; Airoldi, 2020; Pink, 2019; Hine, 2015). The fourth section takes stock of the source by focusing on the challenges and virtues it presented during the research. Finally, I analyze the synergy that occurred between digital sources of information, the ethnographic approach and pragmatic-pragmatist sociology. I will argue that, even in intrinsically territorial fields of knowledge such as urban studies, digital information sources become productive resources. However, the article does not seek to make new reflections in the framework of already advanced discussions, but to bring into play my own experience in online fieldwork in order to contribute to the pool of meta-reflections on working with sources that today - in the face of the abrupt closure of our fields - are presented as a possibility of openness.

Faced with the environmental plundering resulting from the tourism boom in southern Spain, a number of groups have emerged to promote the defense of the natural heritage. In Malaga, capital of the "Costa del Sol", eight citizen platforms have been detected that use digital tools to amplify their demands. This study analyzes the strategy used by these movements in order to assess the planning of their presence on Facebook. The methodology used was the content analysis of this digital social network and the qualitative analysis of the results obtained, as well as semi-structured interviews with the leaders of these groups.

This article analyses the complete history of the Facebook forum on Big Brother Spain during 2011-2019. For this study, more than 1.2 million Facebook comments were retrieved, and later thematic patterns from these units of content were identified and analysed. It examines what the most recurrent issues the fans talk about, and their standpoint on those. Forum participants accept and fully participate in the logic of the program (both its mechanics and its end goal), but sometimes mistrust and question the broadcaster's impartiality when they consider that the network is meddling in the reality for commercial purposes. Yet any censorship made by the program on events which may hurt its image goes unnoticed. Viewers, largely women, criticize female contestants three times (2.79) more than men. However, there is also a degree of gender alliance between forum members and female contestants, as these receive more support to win the contest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
