This report examines the latest developments in the emergent wave of Cuban independent journalism, taking a special look at the impact of both digital technologies and recent regulation. As access to the Internet and digital technologies has increased, it has changed what it means to be a citizen and a journalist, on the Island. Attempts to convince journalists that a change from within the system is not only possible, but also more stable for the country, have been pervasive since the mid-1970s and have managed to deter journalists from looking for change outside the institutional channels. However, for some Cuban journalists this view has been changing in the last decade. The report consists of sections that analyze the impact of digital technologies on citizens' life and on independent journalism, the intersection between legitimacy and legality in Cuban independent journalism, the consequences that a lack of "official" legitimacy and legality have on journalists' careers, and the ways they have found to reassert their right to exist. The goal of this report is to stress the levels of complexity that traverse current transformations in the Cuban mediasphere and acknowledge that, growing up within the system, it is not straightforward for young journalists to break away from it. Such complexity needs to be taken into account if we want to go beyond binary and simplistic accounts of the contemporary Cuba. Este informe examina los últimos desarrollos en la ola emergente de periodismo independiente cubano, considerando especialmente el impacto tanto de las tecnologías digitales como de las más recientes reglamentaciones. El aumento del acceso a Internet y a las tecnologías digitales ha cambiado lo que significa ser ciudadano o ciudadana y periodista en la Isla. Los intentos de convencer a profesionales de que un cambio desde adentro del sistema no sólo es posible, sino también más estable para el país, han sido generalizados desde mediados de los años 70 y han conseguido disuadir a las y los periodistas de buscar el cambio fuera de los canales institucionales. Pero este posicionamiento está cambiando para algunos periodistas de la Isla en la última década. El informe se compone de las secciones que analizan el impacto de las tecnologías digitales en la vida de la ciudadanía y en el periodismo independiente, así como la intersección entre legitimidad y legalidad en el periodismo independiente cubano, las consecuencias que tienen la falta de legitimidad y legalidad "oficiales" en la carrera de las y los periodistas, y los métodos que han encontrado para reafirmar su derecho a existir. El objetivo de este informe es subrayar los niveles de complejidad que atraviesan las transformaciones actuales en la mediasfera cubana y reconocer que, al crecer dentro del sistema, no es sencillo para los y las jóvenes periodistas romper con él. Hay que tomar en cuenta esta complejidad si queremos ir más allá de narrativas simplistas y binarias sobre la Cuba contemporánea. ; https://repository.upenn.edu/cargc_strategicdocuments/1002/thumbnail.jpg

Este ensayo analiza el periodismo alternativo en Cuba de manera comparada, explicando cómo su deslegitimación legal y discursiva ha servido para justificar ataques tanto directos como indirectos contra los periodistas. El principal argumento es que los acercamientos positivistas pasan por alto las agresiones estructurales y simbólicas que sufren los periodistas, que son difícilmente computables. A esto se une el acercamiento occidental binario a los socialismos tardíos, que ignora la voz de los mismos periodistas y la manera en que experimentan y reaccionan a los ataques. El principal argumento es la necesidad de superar estas barreras analíticas, analizando los ataques contra periodistas alternativos desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar que navegue entre la teoría crítica (Fuchs, 2017; Rogers, 2019) y la teoría decolonial (Mignolo, 2005). Esto nos permitiría entender mejor el rechazo y el miedo que experimentan los periodistas, así como la manera en que se defienden en redes solidarias de apoyo.

This book explores the pervasive and globalised trajectory of domestic disinformation. It describes specific operations and general apparatuses of disinformation that are sponsored by the State institutions in several countries around the world, such as governments, political parties, and politicians. With an international team of expert authors, this volume meticulously scrutinises instances of State-sponsored disinformation across a diverse spectrum of 14 countries encompassing Western and Eastern Europe, North and Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. It examines how political landscapes amplify or constrain disinformation, advancing a comprehensive understanding of its dynamics in the contemporary global milieu. The book is organised in three sections that gather case studies from democratic, non-democratic, and transitional regimes. Advancing the field of misinformation and disinformation studies by specialising in State-sponsored operations and their consequences, this book will be an essential volume for scholars and upper-level students of media and communication studies, journalism, political communication, disinformation and misinformation, social media, sociology, and international politics.

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a unique global experience, arousing both exclusionary nationalistic and inclusionary responses of solidarity. This article aims to explore the discursive and linguistic means by which the COVID-19 pandemic, as a macro-event, has been translated into local micro-events. The analysis studies the global pandemic through the initial statements of 29 leading political actors across four continents. The aim is to examine discursive constructions of solidarity and nationalism through the social representation of inclusion/exclusion of in-, out-, and affiliated groups. The comparative analysis is based on the theoretical and methodological framework of the socio-cognitive approach to critical discourse analysis and is informed by argumentation theory and nationalism studies. The results of our analysis suggest that leaders have constructed the virus as the main outgroup through the metaphors of the pandemic-as-war and the pandemic-as-movement which have entered the national space. Faced with this threat, these speeches have discursively constructed the nation-as-a-team as the main in-group and prioritized (1) a vertical type of solidarity based on nationhood and according to governmental plans; (2) exclusionary solidarity against rule-breakers; (3) horizontal solidarity that is both intergenerational and among family members, and (4) transnational solidarity. It is not by chance that the world stands as a relevant affiliated group that needs to forcibly collaborate in order to face the main outgroup, the virus itself. A major consensus has been found in constructing the out-group. In contrast, the linguistic and discursive constructions of in-groups and their affiliates display a greater variation, depending upon the prevalent discursive practices and social context within different countries.
