Social media have opened up new opportunities for the creation of innovative public relations strategies focused on establishing and cultivating relationships with stakeholders on the basis of meaningful dialogue. Consideration of the interrelation between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and public relations highlights new areas for exploration and engagement. Both the dialogical and semantic perspectives reveal the performative and conversational aspects of social media. In general, both the linguistic panorama of CSR and digital media as part of a PR strategy open new possibilities for a dialogical, interactive, meaningful relationship strategy for corporate image management. Based on the linguistic approach to CSR and the Communication Management Approach, this paper explores the linguistic use of Twitter as a primary dialogical strategy to effectively enhance interactive dialogue-based relationships with the stakeholders of the top 50 companies in the energy sector based on tweet data from 2016. Semantic analysis was conducted by advanced text mining and clustering techniques on 3042 tweets monitored in 2017 that contained the leading CSR-related hashtags and keywords. The results demonstrated that the top energy companies apply a defensive and symbolic perspective, mainly for branding purposes. The corporate discourse dominates over a meaningful conversational strategy to foster interaction with stakeholders around sustainability issues on Twitter. The study reveals a homogenized interrelation between CSR, social media, and public relations. The results reveal a tendency for isomorphy in the communication models applied by the companies in the energy sector. Furthermore, similarities in semantics and thus strong tendencies to mutually mimic dialogical strategies are also observed. The semantic narrative built around the brand indicates a limited orientation towards CSR and sustainability. As such, it does not contribute to the creation of a dialogical interaction and meaningful relationships with multiple stakeholders on Twitter, in the high-risk sector represented by the energy industry.

Introduction:The paper´s focus is the lobbying reflected in the content of mass media with the aim of diffusing their demands towards political system and in order to participate in the processes of proposals, debates and implementation of public policies. In this way, lobby can elaborate their proposals and advocate their interests. Methodology: In order to find out, which lobbies are present in mass media, which interests are advocated and which newspapers inform more extensively about lobbying, the study of five newspaper of reference was conducted: three general (El País, El Mundo del Siglo XXI, and Abc) and two of economic profile (Expansión and Cinco Días), within the period of time from 2014-2016. The units of analysis were 1058-information pieces, articles, opinion and interviews. Results and conclusions: The results demonstrate that the lobbies with the major presence are those related to economic interests of big companies and business associations-50% of the analysed content. This has allowed them to insert their demands during the economic crisis in terms of solutions that should be adopted by government. With such a wide presence, they were able to participate in the debates and processes focused on proposing the political solutions from the point of view of their ideological framework.
