The informational practices of citizens, transformed by the digital sphere, pose new challenges such as misinformation and disinformation, and they also require a rethinking of the role of opinion leaders. We explored how, on Twitter, the credibility of COVID-19 news was influenced by the source of the news. We conducted a survey of a representative sample of the Spanish population (N = 2,041) who were asked to rate politician, expert, celebrity, media, and anonymous citizen tweets for credibility. The results show that the perceived credibility of tweets on COVID-19 by politicians and experts was negative and positive, respectively, when compared with tweets by the media, and also that celebrities and anonymous citizens had no impact on perceptions of credibility. We also found that news credibility was affected by respondent gender, age, occupational status, and education level. We conclude that, despite disintermediation processes, the media continue to underpin news credibility in the digital public sphere.

Abstract
The main aim of this article is to analyze the social circulation of discourses on non-hegemonic cultural practices, in particular,
on what is called "trash TV", and how they are connected to struggles over cultural and social hierarchies. To do so, it takes a specific
event as starting point: the injunction that the CNMC (the Spanish broadcasting regulatory body) filed against Mediaset
(a commercial TV operator) to adjust the contents of Sálvame Diario (a celebrity gossip program frequently associated with
"trash TV") to the requirements of what is known as the "child protection time slot". This paper uses constructionist framing to analyze how
this event was discussed by different social actors. Our analysis shows that while the CNMC and the press painted the conflict as a legal issue,
Sálvame and social media users focused their discussion on the social acceptability of celebrity gossip media and their
viewers (specifically working-class women).

El punto de partida del presente artículo es poner en cuestión cuáles son actualmente las competencias más importantes para el ejercicio de la profesión periodística. La investigación se basa en la aplicación de un cuestionario online como instrumento de recogida de datos sobre una muestra compuesta por profesionales, profesorado, alumnado y gestores académicos (N=103) complementada por entrevistas a profesionales del ámbito periodístico en España. El artículo presenta la evaluación por parte de esta muestra de la valoración de importancia y la utilidad de conocimientos disciplinares (saber), competencias profesionales (saber hacer), competencias académicas y otras competencias específicas propuestas en el Libro Blanco de la ANECA. Los datos de la encuesta han sido analizados mediante el software estadístico SPSS. Los resultados principales permiten observar que se mantiene una consideración relevante hacia competencias tradicionales del perfil del periodista y que a estas se añaden otras que están en sintonía con los desafíos propuestos por los cambios tecnológicos y sociales.

The centrality of the media in the contemporary public sphere has led political institutions to adapt their communication strategies to its logic. Politics and entertainment are increasingly converging and one of the most significant examples of this trend is the tendency to turn politicians into celebrities, i.e. using elements of celebrity culture to build candidates' public image. This article aims to develop theoretically what celebrification of a candidate means. Drawing upon the main contributions of celebrity studies and political marketing, we identify three fundamental aspects that become useful to recognise and understand celebrification. Additionally, these three elements are applied to analyse the construction of the candidates' image in the 2012 Catalan Parliamentary Elections. ; A causa del rol central de los medios de comunicación en la configuración de la esfera pública contemporánea, las estrategias de comunicación de las instituciones políticas tienden a adaptarse a la lógica mediática. Se detecta un acercamiento progresivo de la comunicación política hacia el entretenimiento y el ejemplo más significativo de esta tendencia es la celebrificación de los políticos, es decir, el uso de elementos de la cultura de la fama para construir la imagen pública de los candidatos. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo desarrollar teóricamente qué significa celebrificar a los candidatos. A partir de las principales aportaciones de los celebrity studies y el marketing político se han identificado tres variables que permiten reconocer y entender la celebrificación. Posteriormente estos tres rasgos se usan para analizar la construcción de la imagen de los candidatos en las Elecciones al Parlamento de Cataluña de 2012.

AbstractSince Davison (1983) proposed the hypothesis regarding the Third-Person Effect (TPE), it has been widely accepted by researchers in communication. The objective of this study is to test both perceptual and behavioral components of TPE in Spain related to media in general, violent, pornographic, and trash TV shows (in particular, the TV show
