as part of their professional routine, Spanish journalists are gradually joining the ranks of active users of social networks like Twitter 1. Following some on-the-fly strategy or just winging it, and fully putting into practice the idea that "one must be where the people are," they distribute information coming from their own media, viralize information from other users/media, editorialize as they go, sum up daily life or shoot the breeze about a variety of topics. This paper presents the results of an in-depth survey conducted among 50 Spanish journalists with active professional profiles on Twitter 2. The aim of the survey was to find out how they are using this social media at work, how they feel about it and what their expectations are.

Tomando como punto de partida el incipiente interés que ha adquirido la comunicación para el desarrollo y el cambio social (CDCS) en España, el objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar el estado actual de la investigación en el campo a partir de un análisis de contenido de las tesis doctorales y proyectos de investigación I+D desarrollados entre 2007 y 2013 en las 56 Universidades públicas y privadas que ofrecen titulaciones en comunicación. Metodología y Discusión: Tras definir la disciplina y delimitar sus fronteras teóricas, se describen las principales categorías de análisis, que profundizan tanto en dimensiones identificativas -autoría, universidad de adscripción, año de publicación, etc.-, como en rasgos relativos a los objetos, perspectivas y métodos de investigación dominantes. Resultados y conclusiones: Los resultados apuntan a la progresiva consolidación de un área de estudio cuya diversidad temática está relacionada con hitos de la historia reciente y con cierta influencia del pensamiento latinoamericano en la materia.

ResumenEl presente artículo explora algunos de los rasgos estructurales de la narrativa transmedia. Se considerarán por tanto procesos consustanciales al medio Internet, como la viralidad, la colaboración de los usuarios en la creación y proliferación de contenidos y la especificidad informativa. Se presentan también algunas reflexiones de diferentes profesionales de la comunicación acerca de este fenómeno. A modo de coda o conclusión se ofrece una tentativa de definición de la narrativa transmedia en términos de proceso comunicativo.Palabras Clave: transmedia storytelling, narativa digital, comunicación, periodismo Transmediality in Digital EnvironmentsAbstract This article explores some structural features of the so-called "transmedia storytelling". In order to progress towards a conceptual clarification, the Internet has to be considered as a mass media with specific and privative traits that would define the "form of the media": global, viral, participative, continuous (or almost), mobile, pervasive, pragmatically oriented etc. Some opinions of professionals related to the field have also been taken into account and are presented here. As a conclusion we offer a tentative definition of "transmedia storytelling" from a processual perspective.

The movement of people across different countries has been a constant in the history of human civilization. This has been attested to by the so-called ‘mobility turn’ in the social sciences. One of the most important recent instances of such a movement has been the mass migration of diverse communities to the United States. This migratory transit has been portrayed in numerous ways in different media. Among these, documentary films have played a crucial role in their approach to these migrant flows. In both, traditional forms and new web platforms, we find multiple examples of non-fiction that focus on portraying these communities. This article focuses on one of these platforms: Immigrant Nation Media. By highlighting the resistance practices the platform offers, this analysis focuses on its collaborative and educational dimensions, as well as its dedication to migrant empowerment.
