“…Although the concept of polarization is a complex one (DiMaggio et al, 1996;Kaufman & Haggard, 2019), an increasing number of authors point out to this phenomenon as the end of consensus (Magre et al, 2021;Pausch, 2021;Rodríguez-Virgili et al, 2022;Svolik, 2019). The analysis in this article yields interesting conclusions for academics, media outlets, and policy makers, which can be summarized as follows.…”

Political and media polarization has had a detrimental impact on democratic principles and democratic processes on a global scale. In Europe, such polarization has eroded the trust in national and European institutions and has challenged the basic values that stand at the heart of the European integration project. The aim of this study is to analyze Spanish media discourses on Europeanization, with an attempt to identify key areas in which polarizing narratives related to Europeanization are more prevalent. To conduct our study, six national media outlets were selected based on four criteria: media format, ownership, ideology, and consumption. A final sample of 540 news items collected between July 2021 to March 2022 was selected for analysis. Using a qualitative methodological approach, the study was carried out in two stages. In the first phase, we conducted a content analysis to identify the main topics discussed in relation to the European Union and the actors represented in them. This led to the identification of polarizing narratives and discourses emerging in the context of the discussed topics. In the second phase, we used critical discourse analysis to analyze polarizing discourses.

“…It is based on the ideological distance between two political parties on the left-right spectrum. Rodriguez-Virgili et al (2022) highlight two key moments when polarization increased in Spain: 1982 and 2015, election years that saw substantial, long-lasting changes in party rosters. The 1982 elections, which brought the Socialist Felipe González to power, gave rise to a two-party system that became consolidated over the years.…”

“…The 1982 elections, which brought the Socialist Felipe González to power, gave rise to a two-party system that became consolidated over the years. The 2015 elections coincided with the emergence of new national parties and increased regional and pro-independence tension, which forced the parties to accentuate their differences, thus increasing polarization, which continues to this day (Rodriguez-Virgili et al, 2022). One of the effects of this political polarization has been the emergence of new media aligned with the different parties and ideologies in the press, radio, television and especially online.…”

Digital journalism has been a reality in Spain for nearly 30 years. In this time, the number of digital media outlets has steadily increased to become the most abundant type of media in the 2020s, ahead of print, radio and television. Based on a quantitative analysis of the authors’ own database of active digital media outlets ( n = 2726) and an examination of Spain’s technological, sociopolitical and economic development in recent decades, this article identifies several factors that have spurred the evolution of digital journalism in Spain. The study results show a correlation in the period from 1994 to 2020 between the percentage of Internet users and the number of active digital media outlets, which showed very similar progress. The study also detects a relationship between the country’s economic evolution and the expansion of digital media, albeit with a seemingly paradoxical effect: digital media, especially digital native media companies, proliferated even more when the economy was at its worst. The article highlights the subtle effects of political factors on the development of digital media in the period under study, although increasing political polarization has triggered additional transformation processes in recent years.

Las ciudades intermedias españolas están encarando proyectos de integración del ferrocarril y de regeneración urbana debido a la implementación de infraestructuras de alta velocidad ferroviaria. En un lapso de treinta años, las sociedades gestoras han acumulado experiencias que podrían servir de referencia a otras ciudades. El caso de la Estación Intermodal de Orense es un ejemplo de esas actuaciones y una muestra de las dificultades que origina la polarización ideológica a los proyectos de largo plazo. El objetivo del artículo es examinar las propuestas y actuaciones de Orense, y exponer las disputas que han complejizado dicho proceso. El enfoque metodológico es mixto y utiliza diversas técnicas: análisis documental, trabajo de campo, entrevistas a informantes clave y relevamiento de prensa. Los resultados han sido organizados en presentación, conceptualización, proyectos y controversias. El artículo concluye con los aportes más relevantes y algunos lineamientos para futuras indagaciones.
