Una de las consecuencias más tangibles de estas situaciones y procesos en los espacios digitales es la polarización (Barberá, 2020;Gamir-Ríos et al, 2022) de los discursos e interacciones comunicacionales. Dicha polarización se ve reforzada por la tendencia a consumir y compartir fundamentalmente contenidos afines a los puntos de vista propios -el filtro burbuja (Pariser, 2017)-.…”

“…Todo el periodo, desde la presentación de la candidatura, la campaña electoral, su posterior día de reflexión y 13 de febrero -día de la votación general-, está incluido en este estudio, que tiene como finalidad conocer la imagen gestionada por cada uno de los candidatos a presidentes de Castilla y León en sus cuentas de Instagram.
