“…Secondly, it focuses particularly on the effects of specific forms of "technopolitical action" (Caballero and Gravante, 2017;Milan and Gutiérrez, 2018) and on the setting of the media's agenda and its impact on the public actions carried out by Lenín Moreno's administration. Thirdly, the article includes a topic and semantic analysis of social network multimedia (Ahmed et al, 2019;Kwon et al, 2016;Drieger, 2013) to account for (a) the significant correlation and convergence (Hassler-Forest and Nicklas, 2015) between the "Guayaquil Emergency" denouncing tweets and the setting of domestic and global media agendas b) the influence of the Ecuadorian government on communication and political action through the plotting of a correlation with the main events in the timeline.…”

Communication ecosystems have multiplexed and increased their capacity to act, distort, and fight. COVID-19 pandemic and the response of the Ecuadorian Government to it are clear examples of the power of media to erode, to influence, and also to produce fake news. In this context, Twitter has become more than just a social platform, as it helped spread catastrophic pictures of the country, especially of Guayaquil. This article analyzes the tweets posted by the main domestic and global media and by the Ecuadorian government accounts since the outbreak of the pandemic in Ecuador, as well as the interrelations among them and their polarity score. The aim is to show how the government changed its action plan by focusing on exogenous elements that had been excluded from its (pre)established strategy, which consisted in neglecting and deliberately minimizing a situation that turned out to be more serious than officially deemed and that was exposed by unofficial global media. Keywords: Twitter, social network, mass media, impact, COVID-19, Ecuador.

“…The field periodically publicizes “new approaches” and “new directions” (e.g. Albrecht-Crane and Cutchins 2010; Bruhn, Gjelsvik, and Hanssen 2013), and has recently experienced attempts at shifting its “dominant framework from the analysis of cine-literary case studies to the socio-cultural mechanisms and political economies that determine their value” (Hassler-Forest and Nicklas 2015, 2–3).…”

Argument "Deficit model" designates an outlook on the public understanding and communication of science that emphasizes scientific illiteracy and the need to educate the public. Though criticized, it is still widespread, especially among scientists. Its persistence is due not only to factors ranging from scientists' training to policy design, but also to the continuance of realism as an aesthetic criterion. This article examines the link between realism and the deficit model through discussions of neurology and psychiatry in fiction film, as well as through debates about historical movies and the cinematic adaptation of literature. It shows that different values and criteria tend to dominate the realist stance in different domains: accuracy for movies concerning neurology and psychiatry, authenticity for the historical film, and fidelity for adaptations of literature. Finally, contrary to the deficit model, it argues that the cinema is better characterized by a surplus of meaning than by informational shortcomings.
