Abstract

This article examines the relation between teenagers and printed media. The conclusions emphasize that the low indexes of reading are due to, on the one hand, the importance of electronic leisure in the today’s teenagers life and, on the other hand, the modification of reading habits. They also emphasize that adolescents like the same topics both in audiovisual and printed media.

Abstract

The media in general, and advertising in particular, are considered as important agents of socialization, including genderrelated issues. Thus the legislator has focused on the regulation of the images of women and men in advertisements. However, regulations prohibiting sexist advertising in Spain pay specific attention to audiovisual media. The objective of this study is to check whether this unequal interest also takes place in academic research. This paper analyzes the differences in the scientific literature (national and international) on the sexism in advertising depending on the media. Specifically we examine the methodology, techniques and ways to measure concepts. In order to do this, we conduct a systematic review of studies on gender and advertising published in Spanish or English between 1988 and 2010 in seven databases Spanish (Dialnet, Compludoc, ISOC), or international (Scopus, Sociological Abstracts, PubMed and Eric).The main results of the 175 texts analyzed show that, unlike legislative controls, the academy has studied mainly sexism in advertising in print media, although interest by analysis of the treatment of gender in the discourse of advertising audiovisual seems to be increasing.

Abstract

Slow journalism is a reaction to the dominant journalistic trend to immediacy and scoop and invites us to reflect on the time required to produce and consume rigorous, creative and quality information. After describing the historical and conceptual grounds of this emerging trend, we analyse four paradigmatic experiences in the Ibero-American context: Jot down, FronteraD, La silla vacía, Anfibia and El puercoespín . Born in the late 2000s, these digital natives exemplify the revival of long-form and carefully executed journalism aimed at specialized clubs of readers who demand a more thoughtful approach to journalism.
