<meta name="DC.Description" lang="en" content=“Revista Latina de Comunicación Social, RLCS, is a scientific journal edited at the University of La Laguna, ULL (Tenerife, Canary Islands) in the Laboratory of Information Technologies and New Analysis of Communication, LATINA according to its initials in Spanish, founded in 1987 by Dr. José Manuel de-Pablos-Coello, under the protection of special doctorate programmes for Latin American professors. The journal publishes under the main summary almost exclusively research papers written following the formula IMR&DC+B: introduction, methodology, results and discussion plus conclusion, with a updated bibliography: at least 70% of the bibliographic entries must be from the past 10 years and half of them from scientific journals in Spanish and English languages. Reviewers make a double blind peer examination. This is a collective and inter-university project, including many professors and researchers from almost all Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries. The journal is the following databases: EBSCO (USA), DOAJ (Lund University, Sweden), Redalyc (Mexico), Dialnet (Spain); and is indexed by the CINDOC-CSIC in DICE, ISOC, RESH, Office of Latin American Education, OEI according to its initials in Spanish; Dulcinea, etc. In Spain the journal is a reference in the Directory of Index of Spanish Periodicals of Social and Communication Sciences, IN-RECS, of the University of Granada, UGR. RLCS occupies the first position in the cumulative index for the periods 2003-2007; 2004-2008 and the year 2008.”/>

<meta name="DC.contributor.referee I" content="The article raises a very interesting topic that is addressed with a great scientific rigour and an appropriate methodology. At all moments the article highlights the difference between what happens in reality and what the media presents. In addition, it highlights the importance of the process of information production to maintain the integrity of the events. The author encourages the reflection on the compatibility between the media industry and the information free from personal or corporate interests: it is important to understand to what extent the agenda setting is governed exclusively by the public interest. The research shows that there are strategies that aim to reinforce the credibility of the public discourse and how this discourse becomes hegemonic. The findings demonstrate that the information values are transformed into social values, which highlights the responsibility of the media.Thus I recommend the publication of the article because it meets the requirements to be included in a scientific journal.

<meta name="DC.contributor.referee II" content="This article is dedicated to the examination of the struggle of the media discourses to achieve hegemony in the public opinion and to make audiences believe these discourses are truthful. Based on the analysis of 4,176 carefully selected press articles the study examines the self-referential discourses of the most influential Spanish newspapers.
The study uses this sample to develop an x-ray of the microcosm of communication in the media themselves and their incessant competence to win social legitimation. The study of the values that transcend the press stories and of the use of different resources to reinforce audiences’ confidence in the published discourse are some of the strengths of this original research that delves into the so-called virtue epistemology to unravel some of its secrets.The research argues that “the press news talk about what is being said especially about what is said or what happens, more than talking about what is happening”. Based on assertions like the previous one, which are solidly supported by empirical research, the author(s) reflects and proposes new challenges for communication theory in the field of social interaction, the historical happening and its social relations.

<meta name="DC.description.abstract" content="Abstract: Through the content analysis of the Spanish Press, this article analyses the media discourses that make reference to any other discourse that, once made an agenda item, refers to the activity of the media themselves. The study unveils the logical constraints of the canonical discourse of this reference; and then compares the media’s canonical discourse on social communication (extracted from the content analysis) with the discourse produced by the press managers of different types of organisations (companies, governmental agencies, political parties, unions, associations, etc.) in order to reveal the central principles on which their discourses about “truth” and “communication” become hegemonic in the media. The objectives of the study are establishing what changes are appropriate to undertake in order to improve the education of journalists, and setting the quality standards of the public service of journalism. The data presented by this article are the result of the R&D project THE HEGEMONIC DISOCURSE ABOUT TRUTH AND COMMUNICATION: WHAT THEMEDIASAYS ABOUT SOCIALCOMMUNICATION (Reference number: SEJ2007-62202-SOCI), which was directed by José Luis Piñuel-Raigada, and whose final report is being prepared."/>
