On January 18th, a shooting occurred in an upper middle class private school in the city of Monterrey, Mexico, by a 15 year old student of that institution. As soon as the news coverage started, it reported contradictory data mixing both formal and informal sources. The purpose of this article is to show the evolution of this coverage through the spatial frames given to the event during the first week after the incident, and reflect over the vulnerability that each frame has in making mistakes. This article analyzes the follow-up to the story in four news portals based on Iris and McComb’s categorization of the spatial (individual, community, regional, societal, international). A total of 275 articles were collected from four of the main local news portals, along with other national and international press articles. The main findings show that most mistakes were made at the individual level, due to the lack of official statements during the first hours after the shooting. Community and Regional frames were the most popular since they made the story relevant to a bigger audience, involving families, citizens and other social groups. The societal level was used mostly for opinion articles, where different political debates were raised and questioned regarding children’s mental health, weapons license, and new projects such as “Operacion mochila”, related to the backpacks checkups at schools. The growing need to be the fastest one to get things published, due to the immediacy of online mediums, pushes journalism to be unverified and careless. This causes a higher probability for mistakes or factual errors, as in this case, which are later echoed by other newspapers, channels and portals. One of the main conclusions calls for a reflection on the responsibility of local press, especially when they become the main source for national or international press.

This article uses the example of high-end raiding in the online game World of Warcraft to investigate the power relationships between players and producers and to examine how the notion of struggle can inform an understanding of co-creative game design. The study is based on a recently published dissertation work and complemented by an interview with two expert interviewees. The results of the study show that while game designers still have a de-facto power position in that they can ban guilds, however, producers are not seen as legitimate when exercising this power. Instead raiding guilds are reluctantly refereeing their game themselves and treat the game company at times even as an inconvenience to be played around. This participatory power is not given to raiders but it is the outcome of a struggle with the producers of the game. Raiders also explicitly criticize the exploitation of their labor in game testing.

This article deals with the educational strategies that are used to mediate the use of screens in the home. Through an empirical study carried out among families in Zapopan and Guadalajara (Jalisco), this paper proposes four analytical categories: media biographies, family media trajectories, educational strategies and technological migrations to study the relationship between education, families and screens.

This paper examines the photographs that media and sectors of opinion named “the concentration camps of the FARC” in Colombia. Used as analogies of the Nazis concentration camps, these pictures published by the first time in October, 2000, were erected in “templates” of the unforgivable horror. The reflection raises how the narratives and the images of the media are constituted in vehicles with capacity to guide the memory not only of the past, but of the present and the future.

The work analyzed the content offerings of the four national television channels with the greatest coverage in Mexico. With a sample of two natural weeks of programming during 2013 and 2015, the study highlights the little interest that the government and television companies have done to fulfill the agreements of the Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC).

This paper intends to delineate some axes of critical reflection on the potential of television fiction in the construction of cultural memory and in the articulation of memory transference dynamics of on a transnational scale. In particular, this issue is addressed through the analysis of Narcos (2015), an original production of Netflix, a streaming television company with global reach.

Scientific proof of party bias has been complicated due to their methodological difficulties, here examined: structural ones, when researchers take for granted the norm of objectivity in systems that could uphold different values; organizational ones, when researchers ignore the organizational superiority of some campaigns over others; and methodological ones, about sampling and validity of commonly used indicators. We suggest some practices to avoid these issues and illustrate their worth in the coverage of the Mexican presidential elections of 2012, with promising results.

This article studies the reception of the Spanish television fiction, by combining offline analysis techniques (questionnaires and focus group) and online (analysis of comments on the Internet). The offline analysis reveals the complementary and specialized nature of the devices, but the online analyses do not provide evidence about the impact of the second screen in the socialization process, nor on the construction of feminine identity.
