Professional roles, the type of content and the routines of production of the media have been transformed into cyberspace. The emergence of alternative digital native media, beyond the consolidated cybermedia created by and for the Network, has also raised a series of challenges that especially affect the profitability of these journalistic projects. Based on this, the research analyzes different income models of Spanish cybermedia based on a comparative analysis of eight case studies, interviews with its founders and a focus group with users. In this way, the research concludes, among other aspects, that a commitment to income models centred on horizontality, participation and user engagement is predominant through content that exploits the hypertematization through diversity and specialization. The study warns of the need to diversify funding sources and identifies subscriptions and cr...

A total of 324 journalists have been murdered in the world in the last decade. Starting from this, the work presents an investigation based on 26 journalists with a trajectory of more than 10 years in the coverage of violence in different countries of the Latin American region. The objective is to analyze the perception of Latin American journalists about the exercise of the profession in conflict contexts. The methodological proposal has applied two research techniques: the in-depth interview and the Delphi method. The study concludes that journalists value the formation of networks, but question alliances with other types of civil society actors; and warns about the situation of women journalists and the need to renew the curricula of communication schools.

TikTok is without any doubt the most popular social media among Gen Zers. Originally born as a lip-syncing app, it can be exploited in different ways; as such, it represents a new fertile space for political communication. In this vein, previous studies have shown that politicians all over the planet are joining the platform as a tool to connect with younger audiences. This study examines the use of TikTok in the last presidential elections in Peru. Following an affordance-based approach, we analyze all the TikToks published by the main candidates (Pedro Castillo, Keiko Fujimori, Rafael Lopez Aliaga, Hernando de Soto, and George Forsyth) during the electoral campaign, to understand if and how candidates have integrated this platform as part of their electoral strategy and what kind of content they publish and share. Through a content analysis that combines quantitative and qualitative el...
