The need to set out the conceptualization of media competence leads to a broader perspective in which there is a convergence of factors linked to the digital and audiovisual competences, both of which constitute the reference framework for «information processing and digital competence», which is the key competence in Spain’s national curriculum. Despite the ongoing experiences in audiovisual and digital communication few attempts have been made to define the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for a person to be deemed competent in these two areas, which are essential for the teaching and learning processes. This paper analyzes six important studies on digital and audiovisual literacy, considering issues such as the recipients, the conceptualization used in each study and the dimensions they suggest, the type of taxonomy, indicators...and the educational proposals: objectives, content, activities are systematized in a series of dimensions and indicators to define media literacy and design activities for a didactic proposal in accordance with the indicators established. The development of this research has led us to affirm the need for convergence in terminology and the expansion of resources based on the indicators defined, which affect the diverse areas of media literacy in an effective way and function to enable teaching actions among the various groups that comprise today’s society.La necesidad de plantear la conceptualización de la competencia mediática conduce a una perspectiva más amplia en la que convergen aspectos vinculados a la competencia audiovisual y a la competencia digital. Ambas constituyen el marco de referencia de «El tratamiento de la información y competencia digital», competencia básica del currículum vigente en nuestro país. A pesar de las experiencias que se están llevando a cabo tanto en comunicación audiovisual como digital, aún son pocas las tentativas para definir, de manera precisa, los conocimientos, habilidades y actitudes necesarios para considerarse competente en sendos ámbitos, ineludibles a la hora de llevar a cabo los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Este trabajo parte del análisis de seis estudios significativos en la temática de alfabetización tanto digital como audiovisual. Considerando aspectos como los destinatarios, la conceptualización que se utiliza en cada uno de ellos, las dimensiones que plantean, el tipo de taxonomía, indicadores… y las propuestas didácticas: objetivos, contenidos, actividades, se sistematizan en una serie de dimensiones e indicadores para definir la competencia mediática y plantear el diseño de actividades para una propuesta didáctica de acuerdo a los indicadores establecidos. La investigación desarrollada nos ha permitido afirmar la necesidad de la convergencia terminológica, así como de la elaboración de recursos, a partir de los indicadores definidos, que incidan en los distintos ámbitos de la competencia mediática de una manera efectiva y sirvan para llevar a cabo actuaciones didácticas en los distintos grupos que componen la sociedad actual.

Internet celebrity has become a phenomenon of great interest for scholars in the last few years. This is partly due to its impact in contemporary media ecosystems, and its influence in political, social, cultural, and commercial behaviors around the world. Meanwhile, some segments of the population continue to be marginalized by sociotechnical configurations that perpetuate structures of dominance in the digital sphere and on social media platforms. This is the case of immigrants, who often face diverse digital, symbolic, and physical borders that neglect their voice and agency. Thus, the present study aims to explore the creative practices of immigrant tiktokers who have achieved a significant following on this platform. Using a case study approach, we explore four immigrant creator profiles with a following of 17,000 to 500,000 through in-depth interviews and a multimodal content analysis of 252 of their videos to delve into their platformed practices on TikTok. The participants are Latin American immigrant creators living in the US and Spain, identified as part of a larger study on the uses of TikTok by Latinx immigrants in these two countries exploring 53 immigrant creator profiles with more than 10,000 followers. Their practices related to algorithmic (in)visibility, and their unfolding identities including their digital, creative, political, activist, cultural, and national personas are noteworthy, and suggest unique pathways to reclaim agency through social media influence and construct multi-dimensional microcelebrity identities beyond migratory status.

Media consumption is an undeniable fact in present-day society.

Se analizan tendencias recientes de investigación en comunicación publicadas en revistas de comunicación latinoamericanas más visibles en bases de datos de referencia y citación. La revisión se centra en los artículos de investigación publicados entre 2013 y 2017 en las nueve revistas latinoamericanas de comunicación incluidas en Scopus. La metodología se basa en la consulta de bases de datos, su sistematización a través de gestores bibliográficos y el análisis de contenido cualitativo de los textos recopilados, apoyado con el software de QDA NVIVO11. Se recopilan 167 artículos que abordan temáticas de educomunicación, alfabetización mediática y narrativas transmedia. Predomina la autoría individual y la afiliación a un solo país e institución, entre los cuales destacan Brasil y España. En relación con el contenido, predomina un enfoque temático sobre los medios y los entornos digitales y un abordaje cualitativo de las investigaciones.

Recent media attention aimed at migrant caravans at the US-Mexico border has increased interest from different actors in the political and social spheres. Parallel to traditional and mainstream media, social media has become the prime context where narratives about the border develop, moulding broader societal perspectives on the immigration issue. Through a content and discourse analysis of 105 posts connected by the #MigrantCaravan or #CaravanaMigrante hashtags, we delved into how media representations of immigration on Instagram effectively establish otherness between the different characters involved in this phenomenon. The border wall emerges as one of the main components in these narratives and a symbol of the temporal and spatial stages of the migratory journey. Meanwhile, the voice of the main character, the migrant, is mostly absent, often conveyed through biased views, filtered by the opinions of posters about immigration and characterized by new narrative configurations enabled by the Instagram format.

r e s u M e n Este trabajo indaga en el nivel de desarrollo de la competencia mediática de los niños y niñas de segundo ciclo de infantil. Para ello se aplica un instrumento, diseñado ad hoc, en el marco de una investigación más amplia (todos los niveles educativos del estado español), que toma como referencia una serie de dimensiones para estimar el grado de competencia mediática. Los resultados muestran que es necesario avanzar en políticas educativas de integración de las habilidades y estrategias para esa alfabetización que resulta indispensable para una educación acorde con las necesidades de la sociedad.Palabras clave competencias clave; competencia mediática; competencia digital; alfabetización mediática; dimensiones; educación infantil A b s t r A c tThis work seeks to analyse the level of development of media competence from a broader perspective, including students belonging to the second cycle of childhood education. For this purpose, we have implemented an ad hoc tool in the framework of a broader study (all educational levels in Spain), using a series of references to determine the level of media competence. The results show that it is necessary to continue with educational policies of skill integration and with strategies for literacy, a necessary resource today for an education in accordance with the needs of society.

Education is at a time of redefinition and transformation, in line with an era characterized by considerable technological development and profound social changes. One would expect it to be accompanied by a media context in which narrative models are transformed by the impact of digitalization, affecting student-teacher interactions. However, it has been observed that the media usage of an entire generation emphasizes the gap between formal education and young people's everyday digital life. Within this framework, and at the international level, a series of innovative pedagogical proposals have emerged, which approach education from the field of communication: Minecraft Education, NFB Education, Educ'Arte, Scratch and 7 de Cinema. We have called them com-educational platforms, because of their investment in the education-communication vector, based on an educommunicative idea. The proposed study implements a multimodal discourse analysis (MDA) to gain an in-depth knowledge of its characteristics. Beyond their individual idiosyncrasies, our analysis reveals a common central feature: the placement of community-creativity combination as the core phenomenon for learning.

The ways in which young people communicate have changed in line with the impact of technologies. This change has been accompanied by growing differences between the young, and their "liquid" experience, and adults with their "solid" experience, and these shapes the state of the question that defines young people as digital natives. This work analyses Spanish adolescents' level of media competence. The sample consisted of 672 students attending secondary schools in 10 provinces in Spain. The average age of the participants was 14. The study aims to show that, although today's adolescents are described as the digital generation, and there is a widely held belief that they are digital natives, their level of media competence is low and there is need for fomenting greater literacy skills in this field. The ad hoc questionnaire yielded results that indicate an overall medium level of media competence, but a skills shortage in the dimensions relating to critical thinking, such as in reception and audience, production and programming processes, and ideology and values. The conclusions question the supposed superior competence of digital natives in media. This study underlines the need for a clear definition of the concept of media competence from a convergence perspective.
