The open conclusions with which Hallin and Mancini (2004, 2011) approached their comparative study of Western media systems, initiated in 1998, retain their empirical, revisionist, and prospective value - even from critical perspectives - after a quarter of a century of profound historical, social, and technological changes. The names given to the three traditional media models in those authors' first publication are used in this article to compare the evolution of funding, audience shares, governance, structure, and political intervention in European countries' public service media on the one hand, and to contrast the operational hypothesis that politicisation persists and is increasing in European public service media in their adaptation to the digital society, on the other hand. Based on the variables from Hallin and Mancini's empirical model, five crucial questions about the evolution of public service media in the EU are addressed: intervention and development of regulation by states and by the European Commission in the area of shared powers; a comparative analysis of the funding systems and consumer audiences of each European country's public service media; the changes in the governance and management structures of said public service media; the variation in the professional culture and the rational-legal authority of their organisations; and the evolution and legitimation of public service media's public value in the internet society, as well as the persistence or mutability of the national media systems' fit within Hallin and Mancini's three original models.

The currently dominant scientific production model in the field of Communication exhibits an excess of standardization towards mainly empirical work that is overwhelming caried out using quantitative techniques based on simple statistical analyses, in many cases limiting the presentation of results to a reading of the available data. This article presents an innovative proposal in this area, designed as a new form of dissemination and scientific presentation, with the objective of constructing three composite indicators that, when applied to European public service media, will enable the assessment of the perception of their social value, independence, and management efficiency. Another aim of the study is to provide a comparative vision of these three aspects in all the countries of the European Union except Malta and Luxembourg. This methodology is innovative because it explains the process in detail and justifies the validity of the documentary sources that were used to facilitate its replication or questioning, and reinforces the discussion of the results obtained by evaluating the robustness of the indicators created, before determining which was the most appropriate and comparing the results with a multicriteria decision analysis technique, the Topsis method (technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution), proposed by Hwang and Yoon (1981). The results show that the synthetic indicators constitute an innovative, original, and validatable methodological tool that can contribute to the advancement of research in Communication ; El modelo de producción científica actualmente dominante en el área de Comunicación presenta un exceso de estandarización de las investigaciones, principalmente empíricas, que se llevan a cabo de un modo abrumador mayoritariamente con técnicas cuantitativas basadas en análisis estadísticos simples que, en muchos casos, limitan la exposición de resultados a una lectura de los datos disponibles. Se plantea una propuesta innovadora en el área que se diseña a modo de ...

En este artículo se analizan las emociones y la polarización de las comunidades digitales de diez candidatos presidenciales en las elecciones de Colombia, México, Bolivia, Argentina y Uruguay celebradas en 2018 y 2019. Para ello se ha extraído información de las cuentas de Twitter de los candidatos en el último mes de la correspondiente campaña, a raíz de lo cual se estudiaron 749.764 tuits y más de doce millones de palabras. Posteriormente, se hizo un análisis de contenido, cuyo resultado evidencia que el contenido emocional de los tuits evoluciona a lo largo del periodo de análisis; se aprecia, además, una diferencia en el contenido negativo/positivo de los comentarios en los tuits, y así, la polarización de las comunidades digitales. Junto a estos resultados, también se observa una negativización de los tuits, una nacionalización de las pautas del comportamiento digital y un incremento de la polarización que surge "espontáneamente", y ello refuerza la idea de que existen valores intrínsecos a las dinámicas de la discusión política en las redes sociales.

En este trabajo se presenta una propuesta metodológica para el diseño de un Sistema de Indicadores Culturales locales que toma como marco de referencia las Estadísticas Culturales de la UNESCO y la Agenda 21 de la Cultura. El Sistema de Indicadores que se propone queda configurado -en función de los objetivos perseguidos, los indicadores culturales requeridos y los usuarios involucrados- en un Sistema Básico y un Sistema Estratégico, y posibilita el seguimiento y evaluación del desempeño de la política cultural local. ; This paper aims to propose a theoretical framework for designing a Local Cultural Indicators System by considering the one provided by UNESCO for Cultural Statistics and the Agenda 21 for Culture. The indicators system is structured, depending on the objectives, requirements and users of cultural indicators involved, in Basic and Strategic Systems that may be used for monitoring and evaluating the local governments´ cultural policy.

Objective: This article describes the process implemented in order to define and build up a Basic Monitoring and Evaluation System for Spanish Cooperation's Culture and Development Strategy (CD-S). Research Design: Delphi techniques were used to assess a wide catalogue of indicators for each of the strategic areas included in the CD-S. Afterward, those indicators considered most suitable for monitoring and evaluating purposes were selected based on the assessments provided by a panel of experts. Results: As a consequence, the resulting system, made up by a total of 80 indicators, was designed to be a practical, manageable, and targeted tool for its potential users, who include managers and technical officers who map out strategy together with stakeholders involved in its implementation, and specifically with staff at cultural centers abroad and in technical aid offices.
