Este artículo es parte de la investigación iniciada por el autor en el marco del proyecto “Historia del entretenimiento en España durante el franquismo: cultura, consumo y contenidos audiovisuales (cine, radio y televisión)1”. Uno de los aspectos sobre los que se reflexiona es la importante influencia de la iglesia en la vida socio-política del régimen y cómo influyó en las emisiones radiofónicas de la época, especialmente en las de Radio Nacional de España; una presencia que sufrió diferentes alzas y bajas a lo largo de toda la dictadura en sus diferentes etapas. A partir de este presupuesto se aborda el tipo de mensaje y su influencia dentro de las propias emisiones religiosas y las formulas empleadas desde la emisora estatal para lograr el éxito de estas emisiones.This article is part of the results obtained by the author within the framework of the project “History of the entertainment in Spain during the Francoism: audio-visual culture, consumption and contents (cinema, radio and television)”.

From Yoke to the Cross. Radio Nacional de España: A Radio in Transition (1945-1951)

Este artículo plantea un análisis de Radio Nacional de España como medio oficial del franquismo en un periodo histórico determinado: los años de cambio en la dirección entre una Falange con posiciones cercanas a la órbita de los países del eje y su paso a posiciones menos beligerantes a medida que la suerte de la II Guerra Mundial cambiaba de dirección. En ese proceso, Radio Nacional de España fue un testigo sonoro de excepción y en este trabajo se analizan el proceso de construcción de la radiodifusión estatal desde una perspectiva institucional, los cambios sufridos como institución y algunos hitos de su programación dentro de un contexto histórico específico.This paper offers an analysis about Radio Nacional de España like official médium of the francoism in a specific historical period: the years of change in the direction by Falange with positions near the orbit of the countries of the axis and their passage enters less belligerent positions as the luck of II the World war changed.

New Frontiers for Political Communication in Times of Spectacularization

Political spectacularization is a broad global phenomenon challenging contemporary digital political communication under new features that define interactive digital narratives. In this sense, the use of politainment formulas in digital contexts to reconnect the electorate with political leaders and institutions through a more direct and interactive communication deserves further understanding of its implications on the devaluation of political information and the loss of democratic quality. This thematic issue sheds some light on how the spectacularization of political communication, which increasingly takes place in online contexts, affects and is affected by these processes, where entertainment is crucial to engage citizens. In this editorial, we provide a short overview of how research on politainment has started to shift its attention away from traditional media toward the wide array of lenses of politainment among digital platforms. The articles in this thematic issue reflect this shift but also show its consequences in terms of political engagement. Finally, we outline further research steps, which should establish a more nuanced and multifaceted understanding of the complex relationship between political communication, entertainment, and new digital communication formulas, which is crucial to advance knowledge in the field

Games as Political Actors in Digital Journalism

The goal of this study is to explore the role of digital games as political actors in digital journalism. The development of digital games designed to frame journalistic messages led to the emergence of newsgames. This trend impacts online mass media outlets’ performance as political actors in democratic polities. In this article, we explore the current relationship between political communication and newsgames by answering the following research question: How do online mass media outlets use newsgames to report, interpret, and critically analyze democratic polities? In this study, an inductive grounded theory approach was used to analyze 29 political newsgames published in 25 mass-media digital outlets across 11 different countries. The findings reveal that mass media outlets employ political newsgames to perform four distinct functions when covering political events: analytical reportage, commentary, critical scrutiny, and representation
