En este trabajo, se analizan tanto las representaciones mediáticas de los jóvenes inmigrantes latinoamericanos en la prensa española, como el papel de los medios de comunicación en el contexto de las migraciones contemporáneas y, desde la economía política de la comunicación y el análisis crítico del discurso, las formas mediáticas de las narrativas de exclusión, no solamente en su forma retórica, sino en el acceso al debate social. Para tal efecto, el artículo se centra en cuatro interrogantes: ¿cómo se ha venido configurando el panorama demográfico de las migraciones de jóvenes latinoamericanos en España? ¿Quiénes son los actores recurrentes en las informaciones sobre inmigración en el discurso mediático? ¿Qué mecanismos de representación discursiva generan las noticias sobre violencias urbanas relacionadas con jóvenes de minorías étnicas? ¿En qué medida se inserta la figura de los jóvenes latinos en el discurso europeo de la exclusión?

Latin American immigrants in global cities: Interdisciplinary approaches to the analysis of communication, media and cultural practices Abstract. The study of communication, media and cultural practices in diasporic contexts gives rise to a series of theoretical and methodological challenges. The current article examines these challenges and argues how interdisciplinary approaches constitute an enriching assembly which enables us to analyze and understand the process of arrival and settlement of Latin American immigrants in global cities. The compared study of Latin American diasporas and the media in urban environments also enables the identification of present trends. Migration and media studies function as a starting point towards identifying the critical analysis of the transnational condition among Latin Americans who reside in cities outside their region. We analyze how the genesis and consolidation of transnational and translocal audiences have been recognized by both the advertising market and private industries. Despite this, public administrations from countries of origin and destination still neglect their study.

Journalism programs today face the need to train their students in the latest applications and tools - including data journalism techniques. Despite several classes and programs available in this subject area (Berret & Phillips, 2016), students are not actively enrolling in such classes. Using an epistemological approach and Actor-Network Theory (Latour, 2005), this exploratory study of US journalism students identifies some key perceptions that highlight potential barriers to entry for enrollment in such courses.
