Communication studies in Spain have now become consolidated based on their evolution over the last 50 years. The aim of this paper is to provide an in-depth analysis of the current state of Spanish higher education in Communication. To this end, an analysis is carried out of the structure and composition of the undergraduate and postgraduate degrees (master and PhD studies) in Communication at public and private universities in Spain, paying special attention to the centers that host these studies, the people who contribute to their operation, and their offerings and distribution. Using a descriptive methodology and the content analysis technique, an analysis form is applied to the universities composing the system of Communication studies in Spain, based on their offerings and the information available and accessible on their institutional websites. The results reveal the difficulty of accessing such data and the lack of common criteria (or compliance) for presenting such information on official websites. The results reveal a greater offering at the national level but a wide dispersion of the higher education offering in terms of type, location, type of university, and territorial distribution. We also highlight the gender gap in terms of faculty leadership as well as among teaching staff. We emphasize the phenomenon of double or combined degrees, especially at private universities. Resumen Los estudios de Comunicación en España se consolidan como resultado de la evolución experimentada en 50 años. Se pretende mostrar una radiografía que permita conocer el estado actual de la educación superior española en esta materia. Para ello se ha realizado un análisis de la estructura y composición de los grados y posgrados (masters oficiales y doctorado) de Comunicación de las universidades públicas y privadas de España, prestando especial atención a los centros que acogen estos estudios, las personas que con su desempeño contribuyen a su funcionamiento, su oferta y distribución. Mediante un diseño metodológico exploratorio y descriptivo, a través de la técnica del análisis de contenido, se han revelado las variables de estudio a partir de la oferta e información disponible y accesible en las webs institucionales de las universidades que conforman el sistema español en esta materia. Se destaca la dificultad para acceder a los datos y la falta de criterios comunes (o cumplimiento de estos) para presentar la información sobre la oferta formativa oficial. Los resultados arrojan una mayor oferta formativa a nivel nacional, pero evidencian su dispersión en cuanto a tipo, oferta de plaza, tipo de universidad y distribución territorial. Destaca la brecha de género en los responsables de los centros y entre la plantilla de profesorado; y el fenómeno creciente de los grados dobles o combinados, sobre todo en los centros privados.

Este trabajo analiza la dimensión ambiental y los ODS en la gestión de las relaciones públicas en las empresas de triple impacto en el contexto de la Covid19. Para ello, se ha realizado una investigación exploratoria-descriptiva mediante un cuestionario a 79 compañías catalogadas como empresas triple impacto de 27 países. Entre los resultados destacan que si bien la mayoría de los participantes identifican al medioambiente como stakeholder y consideran a la dimensión medioambiental como muy importante para la gestión de su comunicación; sólo 2 de cada 10 empresas consideran a los ODS entre los tres issues más relevantes relacionados con el desarrollo sostenible. A partir de estos datos, inferimos que aunque las empresas de triple impacto están trabajando para generar valor ambiental, en muchos casos no lo están identificando y comunicando de manera adecuada a sus grupos de interés.

This article examines the type of contributions that public relations professionals make towards Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes, while discussing the issues and obstacles they face to enter into that professional area. To do so, the authors have looked at the top publicly owned companies in Spain, which are part of the so-called IBEX35®. The research included semi-structured interviews and interpretative analysis of official documents and reports. Our findings suggest that despite normative claims from CSR departments that downplay the importance of public relations in the design and implementation of CSR programmes, the empirical evidence suggests otherwise. In this context, our findings show important operational deficiencies and accountability deficits precisely because of the lack of public relations input in the design and implementation of these programmes.

In today's global landscape, a well-managed nation brand stands as a crucial intangible asset, significantly enhancing a country's ability to attract investment, talent, and tourism while distinguishing itself in international competition. This study systematically reviews nation branding research from the past decade, spanning from 2014 to April 2024, by analyzing 578 peer-reviewed articles from prominent databases like Scopus and Web of Science (WoS). Utilizing bibliometric analysis techniques, including performance analysis, citation analysis, co-citation analysis, and author analysis, the study identifies key contributions, influential publications, and leading authors within the field. The findings reveal a predominant influence of Western countries in nation branding research, with emerging contributions from BRICS nations. This comprehensive review highlights significant research trends, such as the growing importance of digital media in shaping nation brands and the increasing focus on sustainability and cultural diplomacy. The study also uncovers existing knowledge gaps, particularly in the areas of measurement methodologies and the impact of geopolitical changes on nation branding. By employing VOSviewer software, the research visualizes co-citation and co-occurrence networks, providing deeper insights into the collaborative and thematic landscape of nation branding research. These visualizations reveal key clusters of research activity and thematic concentrations, offering a roadmap for future investigations. The study aims to serve as a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners, fostering a more nuanced understanding of nation branding and guiding future research directions in this vital area. By identifying the most influential works and authors, this review not only acknowledges the contributions made to date but also sets the stage for advancing the field through targeted research addressing identified gaps and leveraging emerging trends in global nation branding strategies.
