What is it about?

The sample of news are selected of three of the most relevant newspapers in Spain: ABC, El Mundo, and El País. Accordingly, if the texts are in the Culture section, Reading will be understood as a traditional process related to Humanities.

Why is it important?
This time period is especially relevant to analyze as it corresponds to the new technologies' irruption in the reading process. The three Spanish newspapers with the highest audience are studied. The goal is to analyze if texts about reading include content changes due to the new reading formats, checking the newspapers' sections in which they are included.
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.
