ón meticulosa, el libro expone los abusos de índole sexual, psicológica y emocional perpetrados por esta organización sectaria bajo una fachada religiosa. Además, revela el sistema de control totalitario que sometió a sus víctimas, la persecución que enfrentaron quienes se atrevieron a denunciar y el engranaje de poder mediático, judicial y económico que mantuvo la impunidad de la institución. Con el pulso de quien vivió la historia de cerca, el autor construye un relato absorbente que no solo denuncia, sino que reivindica la lucha por la verdad y la justicia. Este libro es, sin duda, un hito del periodismo de investigación que documenta más de dos décadas de lucha contra el silencio y el encubrimiento, y una lectura imprescindible para quienes buscan entender y enfrentar la violencia encubierta en nombre de la fe."

al, they do provide a historical framework to a wide audience, which finds it easier to relate to the national past through fiction than through history books, journalistic articles or documentaries. Latin America’s Contested Pasts in Telenovelas and TV Series analyzes the historical culture of Latin American society embodied in telenovelas and TV series from the 1960s to this day. It compiles regional case studies on the televised representation of 20th-century dictatorships in Chile, Argentina, and Brazil, as well as the war against drug trafficking and the armed conflict in Colombia. Highlighting the political and social relevance of fictional television, the contributions offer interdisciplinary insights into its discourses and narratives, from the heroization of criminals to the search for reconciliation and the construction of a historical memory."

reater importance on the disseminator and public service–oriented roles, while journalists prioritize roles aimed at influencing the public. Regarding media performance, audiences believe that journalism favors industry-oriented roles over those they prioritize. In contrast, journalists believe that the media mostly perform roles aligned with the audience’s expectations. Our results also show that although the watchdog and disseminator roles are strong predictors of quality journalism for both groups, the civic role only impacts quality journalism in the case of news professionals. Instead, audiences associate good journalism with practices that address their everyday problems, such as the ones represented by the service role." (Abstract)

ridged the gender gap in Internet use, with women now more likely to be online than men. Yet, the region’s digital landscape is also defined by contrasts. While North America benefits from advanced policy and regulatory frameworks, parts of Latin America and the Caribbean continue to face barriers in infrastructure deployment, affordability, and regulatory capacity. This is particularly the case for the region’s small island developing States (SIDS) and landlocked developing countries (LLDCs). These disparities highlight the importance of targeted policies and enhanced regional cooperation.
The region must also respond to growing cybersecurity and environmental challenges. The Americas generate nearly a quarter of the world’s e-waste, yet recycling rates remain low and formal collection systems are lacking in many countries. Advancing green digital policies and implementing extended producer responsibility mechanisms will be vital for sustainable digital growth. Reliable, granular, and timely data is essential for designing effective, targeted interventions and supporting progress toward UMC. While the region benefits from strong statistical capacity and several global data leaders, gaps remain – particularly in disaggregated data by gender, age, location, and socio-economic status. This report also highlights powerful examples of progress – from community networks and disaster resilience efforts to initiatives that empower girls and women through digital skills." (Foreword)

"It's been said that Oaxacans "believe in images." Visual manifestations of saints and loved ones are a fundamental part of life there. Oaxacans also seem to have a special relationship with La Santa Muerte, a female reaper-like figure whose cult has grown rapidly as violence in Mexico has increased
...
. In this book, Myriam Lamrani recontextualizes Santa Muerte within Mexican Catholicism by looking at how intimately devotees interact with images (including effigies, tattoos, artworks, photographs, even dreams) of the infamous saint. For Lamrani, focusing on the intimate modalities through which people interact with their images offers insight into religious, social, and political life, as well as anthropology itself. The "media turn" in anthropology often considers religion as mediation, and media as a bridge with the divine. Lamrani suggests that it is intimacy with (rather than mediation through) such images that make the dead, be they former humans (loved ones) or divine entities (Santa Muerte), present for the living. She is essentially using aesthetics and affect theory to make intimacy her theoretical frame, rather than visual analysis or the "media turn." The manuscript has six chapters divided into three sections. The first section explores what constitutes an image, how to move beyond the idea of it as medium, and how dreams play into these ideas. Part two unpacks her ideas about intimacy, particularly "devotional intimacy" and the "very special dead" (loved ones and saints). The final section covers how images transcend boundaries through different scales of intimacy, from an individual's devotion to their ofrenda (altar) to the Mexican nation's famously intimate relationship with death. A conclusion reflects on devotion to Santa Muerte in Mexico within the landscape of popular religion and political unrest, and summarizes the central argument of this book that "intimacy-understood as a scalable index of closeness which traverses all spheres of sociality-is an anthropological tool to make sense of how people "understand their worlds."
