Abstract

This monograph explores innovations in social networks and communication practices in the current digital context, analyzing how new narratives are shaping public opinion and social identity. It highlights the impact of emotions on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, or X, and the role of influencer marketing in advertising and digital journalism. Additionally, it addresses the challenges and opportunities presented by platforms like Twitch and YouTube in journalism, as well as the impact of gender-based violence and online harassment on social media. The study of emerging narrative formats such as vodcasting, the dynamics of radicalization in messaging platforms, and the influence of social networks on youth culture and electoral movements are also key topics. Finally, the use of ICT in higher education and social movements is explored.
