Political events in Catalonia from 2010 to the present have
marked part of the Spanish and EU media agenda and have resonated in the
international media. We analysed German, French and UK media coverage and
opinions of foreign correspondents regarding the Catalan independence movement
for the period 2010 to 2017. We analysed press representations of the positions of
the Spanish and Catalan governments and of the confrontation between them,
focusing on the main newspapers (Le Figaro, Le Monde, Frankfurter Allgemeine
Zeitung, Süddeustsche Zeitung, The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian) of the
major EU economies of Germany, France and the UK. Analysis was intended to
determine the degree of (il)legitimacy of the independence movement as well as
arguments in favour of the Spanish status quo and even of European identity. We
conducted a framing analysis of 563 press articles and an ethnographic study based
on in-depth interviews with four foreign correspondents in Spain. The analysed
newspapers provided wide coverage of the Catalan independence movement, framed
the crisis as a conflict between the governments of Spain and Catalonia and called
repeatedly on the EU to mediate.

Based on an analysis of several sampled political discussions on Twitter, a new methodology is proposed that allows researchers to obtain a significant, replicable, and manageable data sample from a universe of Twitter metadata. The proposal is a new model called Top discussion indicator (TDI). The aim of TDI is to assist researchers in obtaining a representative set of text from Twitter that includes the minimum amount of information needed to generalize the results.

We examine how Catalan election campaigns have evolved to postmodernization, a concept coined by Pippa Norris to refer to the current political scenario and how this is reflected in different electoral phases. We analyzed four electoral campaigns covering a decade (2003-2012) through 27 face-to-face in-depth interviews conducted with campaign managers for nine political parties. The results indicate that, although Catalan politics is progressing toward the postmodern phase, there are still aspects that are far from fully adapted to the changes affecting all levels of society. Catalan political parties seem to be more comfortable with modern or classical political approaches—such as control over traditional media—and are but slowly reacting to other issues such as citizen demands for more access to, and prominence in, politics.

This work analyses the political news of eight Spanish television channels in order to see what image is built of politics, and particularly how the news of corruption affects the image of politics in Spanish
news broadcasts. Different cases of corruption such as Gürtel, Palma Arena and those associated with judge Baltasar Garzón in his final stage in office, occupy part of the study. A new methodology is therefore proposed that enables the quality of the political information emitted from inside and outside the political content of the news programmes to be observed. Particular attention is paid to the news broadcasts of Televisión Española and Cuatro as those which offer a more balanced view of politics, and channels such as La Sexta, which give priority to a narrative construction of politics in the news programmes around causes of corruption.

Resumen: Las administraciones públicas de los países avanzados están llevando a cabo iniciativas para gestionar la información y la comunicación de riesgo y emergencias mediante sitios web concebidos y diseñados para ello. Estos sitios están pensados para facilitar información a los ciudadanos en caso de emergencias, pero también contienen información útil para los expertos y las autoridades. En este trabajo, y a la luz de la legislación española sobre emergencias, se comparan los sitios de la administración autonómica catalana y del gobierno de España con los sitios de tres países de referencia: Estados Unidos, Francia y Reino Unido. Al mismo tiempo se propone una metodología simple para llevar a cabo una comparación que permita extraer conclusiones y plantear recomendaciones en un aspecto de la gestión de la información que puede resultar clave para salvar bienes materiales y vidas humanas.

The present article analyzes press coverage on the Spanish Queen Sofía of Greece during a time when an outburst of scandals involving different members of the Spanish Royal Family took place. Its main objective is to display changes in the media treatment of the royal spouse caused by these scandals. Research for this article principally involved using content analysis and semiotics to examine coverage on the
Queen between 2012 and 2014 in two newspapers, El País and El Mundo. Documentary research and indepth interviews were also used. Paradoxically, findings indicate that then the media most heavily criticized the Crown, the Queen’s image improved.

Resumen:
El primer periódico que se publica en Andorra fue 1917, año cronológicamente muy alejado de los primeros que aparecieron en los estados vecinos, Francia (1631) y España (1641). El retraso de la llegada de la prensa en Andorra se entiende teniendo en cuenta que la primera imprenta es de 1940 y que no se aprueba la Constitución hasta el año 1993. La presente investigación, que estudia noventa años de publicaciones editadas en Andorra, permite concluir que se ha conformado un modelo propio de prensa. Las características de éste son: una periodicidad baja, un alto número de publicaciones especializadas y el uso de lenguas diversas, a pesar de que el catalán es el mayoritario.

Abstract:
The first newspaper published in Andorra was in 1917. This year is chronologically far from the first newspapers that appeared in the neighboring states, France (1631) and Spain (1641).
This delay is understandable because the first printing house was established in Andorra in 1940, and the political Constitution was approved in 1993. This research studies periodical newspapers and magazines published in Andorra in the last 90 years. The study shows that in the Principality there is autochthonous model press characterized by high periodicity, a lot of specialized magazines, and the use of several languages, although Catalan language is majority.

Spanish press handling of the swine flu crisis of 2009 was explored by studying front pages and editorials for the El Pais, El Mundo, La Vanguardia, El Periódico and Avui newspapers over a period of 8 weeks. Major ethical issues arising during media coverage were identified, notably the use of scaremongering and sensationalist stratagems. The analysis revealed discrepancies between front page information and editorial stance. Specifically, front pages depicted a situation of alarm liable to generate social panic, whereas editorials tended to play down the crisis and complied rigorously with ethical and social responsibility criteria.

The irruption of new technologies has allowed a substantial improvement of information in emergency situations. This research presents the adaptation of the Catalan administration to different information systems to spread information on risks, catastrophes and emergencies. The spread of that information is analyzed together with the application of new technologies, especially Web 2.0, compared to the United States. Besides, the perception of the Catalan public opinion regarding the quality of the information and the mechanisms through which a crisis episode is reported has been studied.

In a democratic society, the media are central to the communication of risks and uncertainties to the public. This article presents 10 proposals for improving media coverage in social risk situations. The article focuses on the production logic of the media and its consequences for society. The proposals and the conclusions of this research are supported by an analysis of three Spanish cases: the risk implied by the Tarragona chemical complex (one of the biggest in Europe); the terrorist attacks on 11 March 2004 in Madrid; and the Carmel tunnel disaster in Barcelona on January 2005. The authors are participating in a research project on public perception of risk funded by the Spanish Education Ministry on public perception of risk (2004–2007 and 2007–2010).

La Principauté d'Andorre, qui est étroitement lié à la France par son statut de co-principauté entre le président de la République française et l'évêque d'Urgell (Espagne), a des caractéristiques spéciales au niveau politique, social et économique. Cette spécificité est particulièrement évidente dans la presse et les médias. La création d'un système de presse dans la plupart des pays a déterminée l'apparition des premières publications périodiques, leur déploiement et leur expansion, et la formation d'un marché journalistique libre et conventionnel.

Abstract
Controlling sources of information in crisis situations leads to reat conflict between actors (the media and those in charge of communication for the administration). This phenomenon has been seen in the last few years in recent and familiar episodes, such as the sinking of the Prestige off Galicia (2002), the Madrid bombings Madrid (2004) and the case of Carmel accident in Barcelona (2005). This article investigates the conflict between actors based on the coverage provided by five media of the Carmel accident, of which we have studied the sources used by the journalists, the control of information on the part of the political system and the deontological problems created by the media coverage.

The research presented in this article analyses the perception of the new draft Statute of Catalonia in the Spanish written press. The study was performed by analysing the editorials and the front pages published in twelve newspapers all over Spain between
the 1st of October and the 15th of December 2005. The new draft Statute of Catalonia triggered an oversized debate that converted the media into a true “political arena”, a public locus where the media and politicians displayed a host of cooperative or
competitive ideological strategies. The article concludes that the new Statute was harshly rejected in the majority of newspapers, especially in some of the national broadsheets, and it tries to pinpoint the differences among these twelve newspapers.
The research also dissects the strong and weak points of the draft Statute in the newspapers analysed.

The research presented in this article analyzes the perception of the project of a new Statute of Catalonia in the Spanish press. The study has been made from the analysis of the editorials and the front pages published in twelve newspapers of all the State between October 1 st and December 15 th , 2005. The project of new Statute of Catalonia induced a overdimensioned debate that converted Media into an authentic «political arena», a public locus
where Media and politicians displayed multiple cooperative or competitive ideological strategies. The article concludes that the new Statute suffered a severe rejection in the majority of newspapers, especially in some of the national ones, and tries to observe the differences between these 12 newspapers. The research also dissects the strong and weak points of the project in the analyzed newspapers.

This article tries to study the relationship between iournalists and politicians in critical situations. The writers have analyzed the information broadcast by the television networks in Spain: Televisión Española, Antena 3 and Tele 5 on March 2004 11th, 12th and 13th, just after the terrorist attack in Madrid. From this study research, it has been concluded that the journalists had little critical capacity, they were in collusion with the politicians, spreading certain badly argued theses and subject maner, using unwarranted expressions.
Resumen:
Este artículo pretende estudiar la relación entre periodistas y políticos en situaciones críticas. Los autores han analizado la información emitida por las cadenas de televisión: Televisión Espanola, Antena 3 y Tele 5 en los días 1 1 , 12 y 13 de marzo de 2004, coincidiendo con el atentado de Madrid. De esta investigación, se concluye que los periodistas actuaron con poca capacidad crítica, en connivencia con los políticos, en la propagación de determinadas tesis poco o nada argumentadas y de ciertos tópicos y expresiones gratuitas.

La investigación que aquí se presenta tiene el reto de analizar los medios sociales o social media con más implantación (IAB,2017) y, por tanto, con más posibilidades de impacto en una situación de emergencia (Giansante, 2015). La investigación se centra en el estudio de caso de dos situaciones de emergencias que tuvieron gran repercusión en España. El primer caso es el accidente del vuelo de Germanwings, que cubriría la ruta Barcelona-Düsseldorf, producido el 24 de marzo de 2015. El avión, con 150 personas a bordo, se estrelló en los Alpes franceses. No hubo supervivientes. Las autoridades francesas y alemanas y también la propia compañía admitieron que el accidente fue causado intencionadamente por el copiloto del vuelo.

En situaciones de emergencias, las administraciones públicas tienen que afrontar imprevistos y decisiones de gran trascendencia. En estos casos, los actores políticos deben compartir escenario con los medios de comunicación, una coincidencia que genera desacuerdos en el control de las fuentes de información, en la negociación del mensaje o en el respeto deontológico. En este libro se aportan propuestas de utilidad para mejorar la información de emergencias y se describen las experiencias internacionales más relevantes. Como novedad, se ha dedicado un capítulo a los nuevos medios, una aproximación a la web 2.0 en situaciones de emergencia. En síntesis, una obra que puede ser de utilidad para profesionales y académicos interesados en las buenas prácticas de la política informativa en casos de emergencias.

La campanya electoral de les eleccions autonòmiques de 2010, que es va desenvolupar amb el transfons d’una crisi econòmica que començava a despuntar amb força, va estar marcada políticament per tres fets. En primer lloc, pel desgast del govern tripartit després d’una difícil convivència de dues legislatures. En segon lloc, per la certesa d’uns resultats que donaven com a guanyadora a CiU tot i que, sense assegurar-li la majoria absoluta. I per últim, per una ampliació sense precedents del nombre de partits polítics presents en l’escenari electoral català que va fer que en aquesta campanya hi hagués una clara fragmentació en les posicions i en els discursos tant polítics com mediàtics, així com en les opcions de vot de l’electorat.
