The Emergence of Native Podcasts in Journalism: Editorial Strategies and Business Opportunities in Latin America

This article analyses the state of the art of podcasting in the new digital landscape as well as the structures, editorial strategies, and business models of native podcasts launched in Latin America over the last few years. To this end, a multiple case study has been made to examine the way new digital outlets are using audio content. This qualitative research is made up of a variety of approaches, such as interviews, online surveys of podcasters, as well as the collection and analysis of secondary data. A specific aim of this comparative study was to include a sample of podcasts produced by thirteen emerging media platforms from eight countries registered in the directory of digital natives conducted by SembraMedia (https://www.sembramedia.org). This is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing the diversity and quality of Spanish language content by helping digital media entrepreneurs become more sustainable and successful. Results of this exploratory study reveal that native podcasting in Spanish is still expanding and that where the new media are small in scale, they are more oriented to the full exploitation of the narrative and innovative possibilities of this audio format and do not have responding to their target audiences’ needs as their main priority. These new media are finding different ways to become monetised (mainly content production for clients, sponsored content, sponsorship, consulting services, and advertising) and to make a profit

Newsletter as a journalist product aiming at new readers. Study on editorial email newsletters launched by El País, El Español and El Independiente

En la era de la saturación informativa digital y de la dispersión de contenidos a través de las plataformas sociales, la newsletter es concebida por los medios de comunicación como una vía cada vez más relevante para poder conectar directamente con la audiencia y atraer a nuevos públicos más allá de las secciones informativas tradicionales, mediante la especialización y la personalización de los contenidos. Este artículo analiza, en primer lugar, las distintas tipologías de newsletters existentes en el panorama mediático internacional, tanto en los legacy media como en nuevas marcas periodísticas digitales surgidas en los últimos años (Quartz, Buzzfeed, Vox, The Skimm y Ozy); y, sobre todo, se detiene en la comparación pormenorizada de los contenidos, la estructura y los modelos de negocio de tres boletines de noticias de medios de comunicación españoles: uno tradicional (El País), otro nativo digital (El Español) y otro de nicho de información de política y economía (El Independiente). Los resultados señalan que España no es ni mucho menos ajena a la eclosión internacional que experimenta este producto periodístico y que la definición del modelo de newsletter que se persigue poner en marcha está directamente relacionado con el método de financiación de cada medio de comunicación.In the digital era of information saturation and dispersion of content through social platforms, newsletters are more and more regarded by media as a way to connect directly to audiences and to draw new publics beyond traditional sections of information by means of both specialization and personalization of content. This article first analyses different types of newsletters that are being produced in the international media landscape nowadays, not only the ones launched by legacy media but also by new digital journalism brands appeared in these last years (Quartz, Buzzfeed, Vox, The Skimm y Ozy). And secondly, and above all, this study focuses on a detailed comparison between contents, structure and business models of editorial newsletters published by three Spanish media: one legacy media (El País), on native digital (El Español) and another politics and economy niche one (El Independiente). Results show how Spain does not stay apart from the expansion of this product in media worldwide and how payment methods and financing possibilities turn out to be a key element that defines the model of newsletters media want to launch in each case.10.6035/2174-0992.2018.15.

El nuevo Geoportal de la Diputación de Badajoz: las TIG al servicio del ciudadano

El ciudadano cada vez goza de un mayor protagonismo, que viene motivado fundamentalmente por su ansias de saber, de conocer, y en una gran medida de participar, de colaborar y de sentirse parte de la sociedad en la que vive .No ajenos a esta realidad, desde el Servicio de Información Geográfica de la Diputación de Badajoz nos adentramos, hace ocho meses, en un proyecto ilusionante, de cambio radical en nuestra forma de ver, de presentar y de acercar la información al ciudadano, y por supuesto de hacerle partícipe de lo que ocurre a su alrededor

Estimation of specific cutting energy in an S235 alloy for multi-directional ultrasonic vibration-assisted machining using the Finite Element Method

The objective of this work is to analyze the influence of the vibration-assisted turning process on the machinability of S235 carbon steel. During the experiments using this vibrational machining process, the vibrational amplitude and frequency of the cutting tool were adjusted to drive the tool tip in an elliptical or linear motion in the feed direction. Furthermore, a finite element analysis was deployed to investigate the mechanical response for different vibration-assisted cutting conditions. The results show how the specific cutting energy and the material’s machinability behave when using different operational cutting parameters, such as vibration frequency and tool tip motion in the x-axis, y-axis, and elliptical (x-y plane) motion. Then, the specific cutting energy and material’s machinability are compared with a conventional turning process, which helps to validate the finite element method (FEM) for the vibration-assisted process. As a result of the operating parameters used, the vibration-assisted machining process leads to a machinability improvement of up to 18% in S235 carbon steel. In particular, higher vibration frequencies were shown to increase the material’s machinability due to the specific cutting energy decrease. Therefore, the finite element method can be used to predict the vibration-assisted cutting and the specific cutting energy, based on predefined cutting parameters.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

Electroplastic cutting influence on power consumption during drilling process

The aim of this study is to report the use of non-conventional material removal process technique. It was found that electropulses (EPs) assisted drilling process improves the material machinability based on the eletroplastic influence. The influence of EPs in drilling process is studied by combining different feed rates, drills diameters, and current densities in 7075 aluminium and 1045 carbon steel. The results show that the electrically assisted drilling process improves material machinability, decreases the specific cutting energy up to 27 % in aluminium and 17 % in steel.Peer ReviewedPreprin

Impact of touristic sustainability on satisfaction with touristic services in a world heritage city. The case of the equestrian show in Córdoba (Spain)

Purpose: The main objective of this research is to analyze satisfaction with tourist services linked to the concept of sustainability in the context of a visit to the so-called equestrian show. The equestrian show adds values from the cultures that passed through the city. Specifically, the study focuses on tourist loyalty based on satisfaction with tourist services, satisfaction with the equestrian show and its overall quality. The fieldwork has been conducted in Córdoba, Spain. There are few studies on the relationship between tourist services linked to the concepts of sustainability and loyalty from the perspective of equestrian show management, making this a novel contribution to research. Design/methodology/approach: The methodology used is based on a partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. Findings: To achieve the proposed objective, a structured questionnaire was used, and the results obtained confirm that satisfaction with tourist services linked to the concept of sustainability and the assessment of quality positively influence tourist loyalty. Consequently, they recommend returning to the destination and repeating the visit. Originality/value: Heritage in Córdoba, Spain, is internationally recognized. Its uniqueness, with four world inscriptions along with the cultures that inhabited it, left a material heritage legacy in the city. Over time, this legacy has made it a magnet for visitors, making it essential to delve into its management and how concepts such as satisfaction with tourist services, combined with sustainability, impact the improvement of the visit

Combining dimensional analysis with model based systems engineering

The model based systems engineering (MBSE) approach describes a system using consistent views to provide a holistic model as complete as possible. MBSE methodologies end with the physical architecture of the system, but a physical model is clearly incomplete without the study of its associated physical laws and phenomena related to the whole system or its parts. However, the computational demands could be excessive even for modest projects. Dimensional analysis (DA) is common in fluid dynamics and chemical engineering, but its application to systems engineering is still limited. We describe an engineering methodological process, which incorporates DA as a powerful tool to understand the physical constraints of the system without the burden of complex analytical or numerical calculations. A detailed example describing a microantenna is presented showing the benefits of this approach. The selected example describes a problem rarely covered in modern expositions of DA in order to show the wide benefit of these techniques. The information provided by this analysis is very useful to select the best physically realizable architectures, testing design, and conduct trade-off studies. The complexity of modern systems and systems of systems demands new testing procedures in order to comply with increasingly demanding requirements and regulations. This can be accomplished through research in new DA methods. Finally, this article serves as a fairly comprehensive guide to the use of DA in the context of MBSE, detailing its strengths, limitations, and controversial issues
