Con el objetivo de indagar cómo es el tratamiento informativo de los medios digitales de Manizales, Colombia, sobre la corrupción y utilizando como técnica de investigación la observación metódica, en este estudio se analizaron 586 notas sobre temas de corrupción publicadas por seis medios digitales. Para el análisis de la información se usó el software Question Pro. Los resultados indican que los medios de comunicación prefieren difundir noticias y columnas de opinión relacionadas con hechos de corrupción de índole nacional, ocurridos hace meses o años, mientras que el reporte sobre hechos recientes y locales es más escaso. Las publicaciones visibilizan acciones sobre la lucha contra la corrupción involucrando en las notas fuentes oficiales. Así mismo, los medios publican en mayor medida información sobre prácticas ilegales protagonizadas por funcionarios de alto estatus. Por último, se halló que estos medios de comunicación no aprovechan las posibilidades interactivas que ofrecen los entornos digitales.

Following Mabel Moraña’s (2012) approaches to the affective turn, which takes up what was proposed by Spinoza and Foucault, this work traces the bodies of girls as literary characters in works written by women writers from Caldas, based on their violence, fears and deficiencies. The chapter presents some theoretical references on the affective turn in contemporary literary theory, traces the background on the affects in girls that appear in novels and stories in Colombia, with an emphasis on the Great Caldas, and finally contrasts the treatment of the body of girls in works published by women writers from Caldas with almost a century of difference: the stories of Chila Molina-Salazar The Little Sisters of the Poor (1923), Mother’s Love (1923) and If I Were the Breeze (1923), and the novel by Natalia Mejía-Echeverry 11 bombs before the ashes (2017). The analysis identifies from a gender perspective the socioaffective contexts that serve as cultural references to unveil aspects related to the sentimental education of girls in this Colombian region.

Through an online survey of 624 university students from Manizales, Colombia, this study investigates the use that these university students gave to social networks during the social mobilizations carried out during the national strike in November 2019, in Colombia. Likewise, it consulted on aspects related to the citizen participation of these actors in society. The systematization of the results was carried out through the Question Pro software. It was found that the university students consulted used social networks mainly to support the strike and report abuse of authority through their own and shared posts, with photographs of their friends or Classmates. Although a quarter of them were motivated because the mobilizations generate changes in the country, the achievement of the purpose of these activities is very low. Likewise, the university students consulted thinks that voting in elections continues to be the mechanism for citizen participation with the best results.
