Abstract

This issue of Cuadernos del Centro de Estudios en Diseño y Comunicación by the University of Palermo is part of the “Image and politics” research line. It compiles nine articles that reflect, based on empirical research, on political communication in times of pandemic, on informational practices and the beliefs of readers / users, on the coexistence of traditional media and connecting media and new logic of articulation of the private and the public, on fake news and fact checking, and on the communicative management of tourism during the crisis generated by the pandemic. Each one of them appeals to different theoretical-methodological frameworks and builds different objects of study. The compilation thus draws on original perspectives and underlying controversies about how to study political communication and the relationship between rulers, media and citizens.
