Why is it important?

This publication is a continuation of the ones developed in Teknokultura y Métodos de información. In here the same year, and topic is analyzed but in a different country: Portugal. In this way, we can see the differences between one country and the other, as there are no sociological studies about reading in none of the countries.

Perspectives

This publication is the result of the research project "Estudio de la lectura en discursos legislativos y medios de comunicación social en la Península Ibérica (1999-2012)" developed thanks to the scholarship “Jóvenes Profesores e Investigadores (JPI)” of Banco Santander in 2014 at the University of Aveiro (Portugal). In fact, it is the continuation of the PhD thesis that studies the same newspapers, but just till 2010. The aim is to offer a wider perspective of the reading process.
