The presence of candidates in political programmes during election campaigns has become a generalised internship in Spain. Considering that the vast majority of reactions on social media refer to the content or guests of television programmes (D¿heer and Verdegem, 2014), their analysis may be of great interest to determine to what extent these shows contribute to improving the political knowledge of each candidate through the eyes of the audience (Boukes and Trillin, 2017).
This research builds on some previous programs of study that recognise the impact of political infotainment programmes in generating political engagement among social audiences (Moy, Xenos and Hess, 2005), and their benefits in reaching new audiences (Teruel, 2016). However, it aims to go a step further, specifying which subject content is most engaging for the audience.

Politainment is a phenomenon that deals with the political communication of entertainment regarding its production, diffusion and intake in its different formats. It entails consequences regarding the dynamics of communication such as political informative decline, along with the loss of democratic quality giving prominence to a post-truth communication environment and promoting the celebritization of politicians. The academic basis upholds that, in the politainment environment, social networks play an important role acting as instruments that help promote information exchange, both horizontally and vertically, from an active, connected, empowered social audience which evidences participation, contribution, production and collaboration. This research is pioneer in identifying the kind of contents of politainment Programs that promote a greater engagement among the social audience. Therefore, it includes an empirical analysis from a quantitative and qualitative approach of the contents of tweets and comments with the highest level of interaction among prosumers from the profiles of the three most representative politainment Programs in Spain: El goal, El programa de Ana Rosa and El Intermedio. The results achieved from this comparative analysis include significant differences regarding the politainment content promoted by these Programs and also in relation to the level of online engagement. Although the limited interaction from the social audience was a common pattern, the results show that tweets with hashtags, visual elements and the ones using the attribute of responsibility frame achieved a higher engagement level than the rest of them.

This study is an analysis on the Spanish average coverage of the Covid-19 crisis and the role of information on health and healthcare professionals within it. We studied the treatment given to healthcare sources and topics in news broadcasts released by Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE) between December 31, 2019, and June 8, 2020. To this end, we conducted a quantitative content analysis on 452 news items from 21 news broadcasts. The results showed that debates on political issues were the main topics and politicians were the main sources, in the broadcasts analyzed, ahead of health issues and healthcare professionals. Our study thus confirms the lack of visibility of healthcare professionals in the television news coverage of the Covid-19 crisis in Spain.

This article empirically analyses the communicative construction of speech of the Spanish presidential candidates participating in the 2015 and 2016 electoral debates based on the use of personalisation as a political strategy. From an evolutionary approach , the study reveals that the personalisation of speech is becoming more widespread in Spain's electoral debates, especially among candidates from new parties as opposed to those from traditional parties. However, from the level of analysis observed, it can be seen how personalisation, despite the fact that it implies greater visibility of the political leader with respect to his or her party and the use of the most personal traits of his or her personality, does not reach aspects of the candidates' private lives.

Despite the relevance of personalisation in research in Political Communication, as well as other fields of study, there is a state of confusion in the literature on this concept. The main reason for this is that there is no consensus on a widely shared definition or concept. This is compounded by the different approaches from which political personalisation can be approached. These approaches correspond to the main actors involved in political processes, i.e. the media system, the political system and citizens. As a result, the results and conclusions are varied and sometimes disparate. This lack of conceptual clarity is therefore a constraint on progress in the study of political personalisation, and so this research goal proposes a definition that can be used as a basis for further reference letter programs of study research on this phenomenon.

Communication is indispensable for institutions in regaining trust and credibility among citizens. In this context, transparency management and the promotion of citizen participation online are essential. After December 2015, when the Spanish transparency law 19/2013 was fully in force at the local level, all local municipalities were required to show all the public information on their websites published in a clear and understandable way. This requirement turns the Spanish local administrations into an interesting case study to assess efforts to improve their relationships with their citizens; hence this research aims to measure the Spanish transparency level on public information and participation. For that purpose, a set of indicators were used to analyze the content of those websites that corresponded to a representative sample of municipalities with 10,000 or more inhabitants (N=394). Findings pointed to a very low transparency level and major deficiencies related to online engagement with resources that are required by law.

Citizens' disaffection with political institutions has resulted in an ever more pronounced distancing between the represented and their representative democratic institutions, with a commensurate increase in citizens' initiatives aimed at obtaining a higher degree of participation in public life. The imbalance experienced by representative democracy in this respect accounts for the need to improve the way in which institutions communicate. This study aims to assess local communication in the regions of Murcia and Navarre by analysing the level of transparency of their institutional websites. The 41 indicators that underpin Mapa Infoparticip@ (www.mapainfoparticipa.com) in Spain are used to see what similarities and differences can be identified when applying the criteria of transparency and participation in these two single-province Autonomous Communities. The findings show a deficit in implementing norms of transparency. This fact affects the role these institutions play as sources of public information and citizen participation, and it appears in a clearer way in municipalities with a smaller population.

The political communication of the 2019 European elections has been paradoxical. While these were the last elections to take place in the United Kingdom before it left the Union, Brexit played only a marginal role. While participation has increased for the first time in forty years, it is the populist parties that have benefited from it, undermining the long-established culture of compromise. At a time when we were thinking of the disparate media practices, particularly in the North and South, electoral behaviour is characterised by a large commonality of synchronic uses of traditional media and social networks. This work thus highlights the following paradox: while Europe seems to be crossed by powerful centrifugal forces, a European electorate is taking shape.

Freedom of expression is one of the guarantees for the proper functioning of today's democratic societies; indeed, freedom of expression and a democratic system can be seen as two inseparable binomials. The possibility of communicating freely in a society is the cornerstone of any democratic system, for without it, the democratic system would not exist. Hence the need to preserve freedom of expression and to remain constantly alert to the risks to which it is permanently exposed.

At a time when television continues to play a leading role as a source of political information source , televised electoral debates have become one of the main events in electoral campaigns, through which leaderships are consolidated. Despite the fact that the holding of electoral debates is not a common internship in Spain, during the 2015 election campaign several factors converged to make the 7-D: El discussion Decisivo in an event core topic in the campaign. The celebration of this discussion was, therefore, a turning point in our political and democratic trajectory. For the first time, the four-way confrontation substantially changed our model of discussion. In addition to the spectacularisation that defines this subject of television events, some practices were added such as an important change in the scenography, a greater prominence of moderator, the inclusion of an audience on set and, on the part of the candidates, an outstanding strategy of personalisation of the message, establishing the political speech in the field of the informal vs. the formal and the emotional vs. the rational.
The goal in this work is precisely to analyse the communicative construction of the presidential candidates based on the use of personalisation as a political strategy which, together with the changes in format, establishes the resources that define the Americanisation of political communication in Spain.
