During the last two decades, the traditional media model of the local press has suffered a deep crisis which, together with the economic one, has led to the closure of many newspapers and staff cuts. The growing need for a truthful local news offer and the adverse labor reality in the communication sector have motivated many journalists to found their own local and hyperlocal media in the network. In this research, an exploratory study is carried out to elaborate the first map of local and hyperlocal online media in Spain, with the objective of knowing the presence of this type of media in the State. Subsequently, these online media are subjected to a content analysis to identify their basic characteristics and development trends. The results show a relevant growth of local and hyperlocal online media in the country, and their features reflect the search for new information models from p...

Mobile devices have acquired an increasingly prominent role within the media arena. The consolidation of smartphones as the preferred platforms to access digital journalistic information has led to a number of changes in how the news is produced, distributed and eventually consumed. This article describes an evolving model of journalistic content for mobile devices to contribute to the theory of mobile media already set in motion by other peer researchers. Framed within the media ecology, the actor-network theory and the study of the society-technology relationship, we start with a bibliographic review to analyse innovations in the mobile digital ecosystem that are related to semantics (new formats and content genres) and social aspects (new forms of appropriation of media and technologies) whilst also identifying the main actors currently operating in this ecosystem. This approach makes...

News media and journalists must adapt to emerging platforms in order to respond to changing news consumption habits. This article addresses the trend of Social Media Live Streaming on Twitch, a platform that has experienced significant growth since 2020. The research pursues the main objective of finding out how Spanish media and journalists are adapting to this platform and what possibilities it offers to the journalistic profession, in terms of business model as well as in communicative style, formats and relationship with the audience. An exploratory analysis made it possible to identify 55 channels and to establish, in the first phase of the research, two categories of study: channels driven by journalists –with a background in digital or legacy media– or by news media –digital natives or legacy ones–. In a second phase, seven representative cases were studied through content...
