Multimodal disinformation about otherness on the internet : the spread of racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic fake news in 2020
2021
This work studies the use of disinformation to construct an image of otherness through the internet. We applied a content analysis methodology to the 161 racist, xenophobic or Islamophobic fake news pieces that were discredited in 2020 by the four Spanish information verification media entities accredited by the International Fact-Checking Network: Maldita.es , Newtral , Efe Verifica and Verificat . The results show that the most commonly used formats were image and video, that disinformation was most often based on taking information out of context and deception, and that the source could not be identified. The most shared characteristics associated otherness with receiving aid, violence a…
Wikipedia network analysis of cancer interactions and world influence
2019
AbstractWe apply the Google matrix algorithms for analysis of interactions and influence of 37 cancer types, 203 cancer drugs and 195 world countries using the network of 5 416 537 English Wikipedia articles with all their directed hyperlinks. The PageRank algorithm provides the importance order of cancers which has 60% and 70% overlaps with the top 10 cancers extracted from World Health Organization GLOBOCAN 2018 and Global Burden of Diseases Study 2017, respectively. The recently developed reduced Google matrix algorithm gives networks of interactions between cancers, drugs and countries taking into account all direct and indirect links between these selected 435 entities. These reduced n…
Promoção da saúde: O renascimento de uma ideologia
2004
A concepção actual de promoção de saúde, educação para a saúde e prevenção da doença é suportada por ideologias algo adulteradas pela realidade social. Tendo em conta a proliferação epistemológica destes conceitos no final do século XX pretende-se, no presente artigo, elaborar uma reflexão crítica em torno das múltiplas racionalidades estratégicas em que os conceitos se organizam, bem como, abordar os paradoxos que se instalam ao nível dos determinantes biopsicossociais dos comportamentos salutogénicos. Partilhando responsabilidades, os profissionais de saúde, devem, colectiva e proactivamente, desempenhar um papel significativo como promotores de saúde, modelando e reforçando o significado…

La presente investigación se basa en el análisis de un corpus de 413 titulares que encabezaron los textos informativos de ocho diarios españoles, durante la cobertura electoral sobre Vox, en el trans curso de los comicios generales celebrados en España en abril de 2019.

Si bien la ilocutivi dad representativa fue la mayoritaria en …
Sobre verdad, mentira y posverdad. Elementos para una filosofía de la información
2020
El problema de la “verdad” es uno de los más presentes en la comunicación desde los orígenes de la prensa y uno de los nucleares de la filosofía desde sus comienzos. En la actualidad, este asunto sigue latente en los medios de comunicación, incluso tras los cambios acaecidos con los nuevos dilemas abiertos por los cambios tecnológico-productivos. Estos dilemas están a menudo relacionados con la importancia que ha adquirido la opinión pública en nuestras democracias insertas en un mundo globalizado. Dado el peso de la opinión publicada, vemos necesario revisar, desde un planteamiento de lo que denominamos filosofía de la información periodística, los conceptos de verdad y mentira en sentido …
Spin Doctors in the United States, Great Britain, and Germany: Metacommunication about Media Manipulation
2001
This study develops a new concept in political communication theory called metacommunication. It argues that metacommunication (1) describes a new, third stage in election coverage after issue and strategy coverage; (2) reflects the mass media's new role as a political institution in the third age of political communication; and (3) can be seen as the news media's response to a new, third force in news making: professional political PR. Metacommunication is defined as the news media's self-referential reflections on the nature of the interplay between political public relations and political journalism. While metacoverage can take two forms, self-referential news and process news, the pres…

The Rocky Road towards Professional Autonomy : The Estonian Journalists’ Organization in the Political Turmoil of the 20th Century
2017
This article attempts to explain the relationships between journalists, politics and the state from the perspective of collective autonomy, that of the professional organization of journalists. The case of Estonian Journalists’ Union demonstrates the complexity and historical contingency of professional autonomy of journalism. The development of the Estonian journalists’ organization occurred as a sequence of transformations from the Estonian Journalists’ Association to the Estonian Journalists’ Union to the Soviet type journalists’ union, and lastly to an independent trade union. This sequence was disrupted by several fatal breakdowns that changed not only the character of the association,…
Journalists’ Associations as Political Instruments in Central and Eastern Europe
2017
This editorial provides the overall context for the five cases—three national and two international—covered in this thematic issue. While the cases are from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), they highlight fundamental questions of journalism everywhere, including contradictions between freedom and control, professionalism and politics, individual and collective. The associations of journalists serve as very useful platforms to study these questions, especially at historical turning points when the whole political system changed, as happened twice in CEE after World War II.
