Introducción: El objetivo que persigue este trabajo es analizar si los diversos usos que los ciudadanos realizan de las redes sociales tienen relación con el voto a los partidos políticos y con las emociones que los ciudadanos sienten hacia los líderes políticos. De ser así, podríamos asumir que la plataformización es un proceso politizado y emocionado y que esa politización y emocionalidad del proceso vincula el tipo de uso que los ciudadanos hacen de las redes. Metodología: Este trabajo se ha planteado como un estudio de caso mediante un enfoque metodológico cuantitativo que plantea tanto un análisis descriptivo e interdependencia de los datos. Resultados: el análisis del consumo de redes en función del voto muestra la existencia de un patrón diferenciado en función de este último. Una tendencia que se replica en lo relativo al uso específico de las redes concretas. Discusión: los datos respecto a la expresión emocional de enfado y miedo concuerdan con las posturas defendidas en la literatura. Conclusiones: estos hallazgos se suman a los ya existentes respecto a la importancia de las redes como “cámaras de eco” que amplifican los debates que en ellas se producen, en una suerte de “espiral emocional”.

Over the last few years, European public broadcasters have promoted the concept of public service media as one of their main values. To this end, transparency policies have been implemented as a mechanism of corporate projection by strengthening their role as an essential service. The objective of this article is to ascertain the existence of this type of policies among European public broadcasters. To this end, a nominal group was made with 24 experts who were surveyed, thus generating new indicators of transparency and accountability strategies around sustainability and digitalization. The contents of the websites of RTVE (Spain), RTP (Portugal), France TV (France), RAI (Italy), BBC (UK), RTÉ (Ireland), ZDF (Germany), VRT (Belgium), and SVT (Sweden) were also analyzed, paying attention to such indicators and strategies. The main results include the identification of differences on the basis of the ideal models described by Hallin and Mancini; a commitment to credibility (fact-checking) to the detriment of diversity of opinions; and a connection between the political system and the media system, which, preliminarily, determines the level of transparency of these public entities.

España ya no es la excepción del contexto europeo. La incorporación de VOX al sistema de partidos andaluz, primero, y después al español, representa el inicio de una nueva etapa política. Más allá de una lectura simplista sobre la extrema derecha, el objetivo de este artículo es establecer un perfil emocional que caracterice al votante de dicha formación política en contraposición a las restantes, y el de arrojar luz sobre las claves de la aparición de esta nueva fuerza política. Con la finalidad de analizar su irrupción, el presente artículo pretende construir un modelo estructural (SEM) que describa y explique los impactos y efectos de cada uno de los elementos que han estructurado el comportamiento político y la elección de voto a VOX.

The central objective of this research is to describe the role of emotions in their interaction with the media. It examines how selective exposure to the media is linked to how political emotions influence this process. The research reveals an emotional fracture in media consumers through anger. It is also observed that positive emotions towards leaders and political parties are activated in like-minded media consumers, whereas negative emotions arise when interacting with oppositely oriented media. The importance of positive emotions such as hope and their contrast with negative aversive emotions is highlighted. This study shows how political emotions influence the interaction between citizens and the media. The findings highlight the relevance of emotions in the formation of political attitudes and the configuration of media preferences, contributing to the discussion on the relationship between the media and emotions in contemporary society.

Objective/context: The objective pursued by this research is to analyse the possible existence of a social and political fracture around the figure of former President Rafael Correa and his political legacy, the Citizen Revolution, which would act as a kind of polarizing division of Ecuadorian society: correismo/anti- correismo axis. A division that, born of politics, would have been established within society, allowing the existence of two opposing sides that feel, perceive and act in politics in a very different way. Methodology: To this end, a study has been drawn up with a quantitative methodological approach based on an analysis of the data contained in the Study of Politics and Emotions in Ecuador, March 2021 (SPEE), carried out by the EIP-USC after the first round of the 2021 presidential elections. Conclusions: The results of this first approach (descriptive and multivariate) allow us to affirm the existence of important differences between supporters and detractors of correismo, especially as regards political and emotional issues, but not so regarding sociodemographic issues. Originality: The influence that the emotional factor expressed towards the different political leaders would have in the construction of this fracture is especially relevant; providing a novel vision to the literature on the influence of Rafael Correa and his project in the Ecuadorian political system.
