The development of digital technologies has had significant effects in the structure of the mass media system, (considerably modified & extended by effect of the digitalization) & also in the whole public opinion formation process. In synthesis, both are changing now from a hierarchic & unidirectional model, where the message issuer concentrates the power, to a multidirectional one, much more "equalitarian" & promoter of pluralism. Obviously, these changes have also affected the role that has to play the State as regulator of the information flow. This paper begins with an initial reflection about these changes, & finally evaluates the performance, not only of big mass media groups but also of the Administration, related to the new panorama outlined, often too guided by criteria & attitudes that we can understand only under circumstances that are no longer in place.

This essay analyzes the media presentations of young Latin American immigrants in the Spanish press. Attention is centered on four questions. What has shaped the demographic panorama of migration of young Latin Americans in Spain? Who are the recurrent actors in the information on migration in the media discourse? What mechanisms of discursive representation generate the news on urban violence related to ethnic minorities amongst the youth population? To what extent is the figure of young Latinos inserted in the European discourse of exclusion? When considering these inferences, it explores the role of the media in the context of contemporary migration, and from the political economy of communication and critical discourse analysis, considers the media accounts of the narratives of exclusion not just as rhetoric but an access to social debate.

In this article the author examines the conformation, organization and function of what has been denominated the mediatic power at the beginning of the XIX century, power that would be added to the three divided and autonomous powers of the Mexican State (Executive, Legislative and Judicial). It maintains that the mediatic power has conquered enormous quota of power and influence that has converted it into the power of power that progressively subordinates and pressures the rest of the three constitutional ones to submit them to its executive- mediatic will and imposes its project of social construction, economic, political and human upon them. Finally, it is a call for the Congress of the Union to make a deep reform of the State that will place the actual mediatic powers under the design and spirit of the Mexican Political Constitution to create a new healthy relationship between the media, State and society.

Latin American mass media are going beyond the mere production of information to become agents of social projects from a corporate and socially responsible framework in alliance with external players, particularly civil society organizations (cso). This paper puts forward the results of research work which collects, for the first time, the experiences of some of these alliances between media and cso in Latin America and Colombia for the benefit of Democracy and Human Rights. Via interviews with some of the main players, the study identifies both challenges and lessons for future alliances in an attempt to strengthen the contribution of mass media to the development of democracy and human rights in Colombia. ; Los medios de comunicación latinoamericanos están trascendiendo de productores de información a gestores de proyectos sociales desde un marco de responsabilidad social empresarial, y en alianza con actores externos, en particular con organizaciones de la sociedad civil (OSC). El presente artículo recoge los resultados de una investigación financiada por la embajada del Reino Unido en Colombia que recopila, por primera vez, algunas experiencias en América Latina y Colombia de alianzas entre medios y OSC, en pro de la democracia y los derechos humanos. A través de entrevistas con algunos de sus protagonistas, el estudio identifica retos y lecciones para futuras alianzas. Así ayuda a fortalecer la contribución de los medios de comunicación a la democracia y los derechos humanos en Colombia.

This article focuses on the ways of generation of media discourse about management and labor organizations. This discourse plays a central role in the social construction of organizational criteria and practices as well as the definition of work health indicators for all the implicated social groups in the labor phenomenon. His common justification is the intention of educating and spreading mass knowledge. Both are conducting to produce a high homogenous view about how to do with persons in organizations. Our analysis uncovers a fundamental interpretative repertory: systemic conceptualization of organizations and the implications for the persons at work subjectivity in a time defined for a erased labor class. This article focuses on the ways in which work and management are discursively represented in the media. Media discourse plays an important part in the social construction, by various interested parties, of well-being at work. The basic rationale of the discourse is, it claims, educational. That leads, we argue, to a very undifferentiated understanding of how personnel should be managed. We identify a pervasive interpretative repertoire: the systematic view of organizations, and its implications for the subjectivity of employees, in an era defined by the diminishing certainty of working class identity in contemporary social structure.
