El 20 de diciembre de 2015 España dejó de votar por tradición. Al inicio de la campaña, casi la mitad de los votantes no sabía qué opción tomar, y finalmente uno de cada cuatro dejó en la urna algo diferente de lo que siempre había hecho. Estas cifras, inéditas, llevaron a la constitución de un parlamento, el de la XI legislatura, en el que no ha sido posible aglutinar ni siquiera la mayoría mínima que el sistema contempla para formar gobierno en momentos de fragmentación. Al cerrar estas páginas nos encontramos a unas semanas de la guillotina que caerá el 3 de mayo: si no hay gobierno se convocarán elecciones para el 26 de junio. Pase lo que pase, los datos del 20D y los de encuestas posteriores apuntan que ya nada es ni será igual en la política española. El objetivo de este artículo es compartir algunas reflexiones sobre lo que se está moviendo en el comportamiento electoral en España.

The importance of political communication to the study of media and politics is generally accepted. Why has government communication been neglected? This book provides the first account of government communication worldwide and an exploration of the prevailing themes

"This volume addresses the challenges that political communication is facing today from a comparative perspective, using principles and methods of comparison both across space (cross-national) and across time (longitudinal), thereby advancing the understanding of global trends and cultural differences. It covers a wide range of countries and cultures from advanced Western democracies and beyond. The research tools employed include quantitative and qualitative content analyses, comparative case studies, document analysis, opinion surveys, elite interviews and a combination of various methods. Employing different research strategies and theoretical approaches, this book sheds new light on key concepts in the literature on comparative political communication research, such as professionalization, personalization and globalization. It also investigates processes of change and transformation, such as negativization of campaigns, internationalization of campaign coverage, professionalization of government communication, democratization, commercialization of the media and transnationalization of national public spheres.

A comprehensive guide to future-proofing public sector communication and increasing citizen satisfaction' How to communicate with the citizens of the future' Why does public sector communication often fail' Public Sector Communication combines practical examples from around the world with the latest theoretical insights to show how communication can help bridge gaps that exist between public sector organizations and the individual citizens they serve. The authors'two experts in the field with experience from the public sector'explain how public entities, be they cities, governments, foundations, agencies, authorities, municipalities, regulators, military, or government monopolies and state owned businesses can build their intangible assets to future-proof themselves in a volatile environment. The book examines how the recent digitalization has increased citizen expectations and why one-way communication leaves public sector organizations fragile. To explain how to make public sector communication antifragile, the authors map contributions from a wide variety of fields combined with illustrative examples from around the world. The authors propose a research-based framework of different intangible assets that can directly improve communication in the public sector.'' This important resource: -Helps explain the sector-specific conditions and why communication is often challenging in the public sector' -Summarizes all relevant literature on the topic across disciplines and includes the most popular management ideals of the recent decades' -Explores how public sector organizations can increase citizen satisfaction with effective communication -Presents new approaches to both the study and practice of communication in the public sector' -Provides international examples of successful public sector communication' -Offers realistic guides to building intangible assets in practice Written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as public managers and leaders, Public Sector Communication offers an illustrative, research-based guide to improving communication and engaging citizens of today and the future.

Building on the notion of an intangible resource, this research conceptualizes resilience as an intangible resource that can be ascribed to countries (governments and media) and explores its sources. After presenting the conceptual framework, the study uses cross-national comparable data from Eurobarometer to (a) determine whether a factor called "resilience to misinformation" can be composed of citizens' attitudes and behaviors toward misinformation and be conceptualized and operationalized as an intangible asset, and (b) determine the extent to which other intangible assets regarding the media (legitimacy and trust) help predict resilience to misinformation. Based on statistical techniques, findings show that (a) it is possible to conceptualize "resilience to misinformation" as an intangible asset comprised of several items related to citizens' awareness of misinformation, acknowledgment of the negative impact, and the development of skills to identify misinformation; (b) this intangible asset can be analyzed in relation to intangibles that derive from media performance, such as media legitimacy and trust in the media; and (c) media's intangible assets seem to be more predictive of "resilience to misinformation" than sociodemographic variables. Based on the findings, this research proposes a conceptualization of "resilience to misinformation" as an intangible resource in the public sector. In addition, it highlights recommendations for the mainstream media on how to manage their intangible value while contributing to resilience to misinformation.
