na, sede Cuenca, abordan un tema de gran relevancia en nuestra sociedad actual. Utilizando su formación académica como base enriquecedora, estos jóvenes investigadores exploran el fenómeno del discurso de odio en los medios de comunicación ecuatorianos. A través de estudios de caso y análisis críticos rigurosos, examinan cómo ciertas expresiones mediáticas pueden perpetuar estereotipos dañinos, promover la división y socavar los pilares de una sociedad diversa y plural.

art-up news media whose content is informed by trends in social media, ethical considerations and participatory cultures spurred by the wide use of social media. There has been considerable research looking at the potential of new media technologies, traditional journalism and citizen reporting. The extent to which these new media technologies and 'citizen journalism' have morphed or reconfigured traditional journalism practice remains debatable. Currently, there are questions around the limits of social media in journalism practice as the ethical lines continue to become blurred. It is this conundrum of the role of social media in the reconfiguration of the media, news making, production and participatory cultures that requires more investigation. Social media has also turned the logic of the political economy of media production on its head as citizens can now produce, package and distribute news and information with shoestring budgets and in authoritarian regimes with no license of practice. This new political economy means the power that special interest groups used to enjoy is increasingly slipping from their hands as citizens take back the power to appropriate social media journalism to counter hegemonic narratives. Citizens can also perform journalistic roles of investigating and whistleblowing but with a lack off, or limited, regulation." (Publisher description)

e der Jahre unterschiedlichste Erfahrungen damit gemacht, wie es ist, von der Mehrheitsgesellschaft als "anders" wahrgenommen zu werden, sowohl im ländlichen Bayern als auch in der scheinbar liberalen Großstadt. Mayonga beschreibt den Alltagsrassismus, mit dem er sich bis heute immer wieder konfrontiert sieht, spannt dabei aber auch den Bogen zu Rassismus als gesamtgesellschaftlichem Problem und seiner analytischen Einordnung. Dabei erörtert er unter anderem Mythen über angeblich kriminelle Zuwanderer, Racial Profiling, Rassismus in den Medien oder die Diskussionen über das "N-Wort" in der Hip-Hop-Szene."
