Polarización, mentira y cainismo (XXI Jornada Nacional de Periodismo, APE)

.  – Palabras de bienvenida

Ángeles Blanco. Editora y presentadora en Informativos Telecinco y vicepresidenta de la APE

Coronel José Luis Calvo. Director de la División de coordinación y Estudios de la Secretaría General de Política de Defensa

10:00. – Primera sesión. El periodismo de calidad, antídoto contra la desinformación

Históricamente, el periodismo ha cumplido una función de activador de las libertades y defensor de las democracias. Así sucedía cuando las amenazas que podían sobrevolarlas procedían de los abusos de los poderes políticos y económicos. Ahora, cuando el periodismo profesional parece en retirada, advertimos que su importancia es más relevante que nunca para la detección y eliminación de ataques directos generados por la desinformación que pretende desestabilizar las democracias influyendo en sus sociedades y corrompiendo sus procesos electorales.

¿Qué rol debe desempeñar el periodismo frente a esa amenaza?, ¿Cuál es la responsabilidad irrenunciable del ciudadano?, ¿qué obligaciones le incumben para tomar conciencia de su responsabilidad para impedir la difusión de falsedades?, ¿cómo activar una alfabetización mediática de la población?

US 2024 elections and the fates of nations (RAND)

Cover: The Fates of Nations

Varieties of Success and Failure for Great Powers in Long-Term Rivalries

Michael J. Mazarr, Alexis Dale-Huang, John Deak, Gregory Weider Fauerbach, Stacie Goddard, Timothy R. Heath, Joshua Shifrinson

 Apr 10, 2024

he United States, according to official U.S. national security statements and an avalanche of commentary since about 2016, is engaged in a long-term strategic rivalry with China and a lesser — but still critical — rivalry for influence with Russia. Many U.S. strategy documents refer to the concept of strategic competition, but the core idea — and increasingly the reality — of these relationships matches the classic historical concept of a great power rivalry. These rivalries, especially with China, promise to define U.S. foreign policy and national security challenges for decades. Yet most assessments of these rivalries tend to ignore the critical question of outcomes.

This report is part of a larger project on the societal sources of national dynamism and competitive advantage. This research aims to identify historical modes of strategic success and failure in great power rivalries that offer lessons for the United States. The authors define categories of success and failure (in terms of such variables as control over territory, relative power, victory or defeat in war, international legitimacy, and social stability) and present detailed case studies on specific historical examples that are associated with success and failure. They also discuss the implications of the typologies of both kinds of outcomes for the rivalry with China.

Is Journalism Ready for a Second Trump Administration? (The Atlantic)

A conversation with The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg
By Hanna Rosin

October 31, 2024, 11:41 AM ET

On the campaign trail, Donald Trump has been very clear about the shape of his revenge against the mainstream media. He’s mused, a few times, about throwing reporters in jail if they refuse to leak their sources. He’s talked about taking away broadcast licenses of networks he’s
deemed unfriendly. He’s made it clear that he will notice if any member of the press gets too free with their critiques and do his best to get in their way. These last couple of weeks, we’ve gotten a signal that maybe his threats are having an impact. Both The Washington Post and
the Los Angeles Times had prepared endorsements of Kamala Harris, and their owners asked them at the last minute not to run them.

Media reporters floated the obvious question of whether the owners backed off to appease Trump. In this episode, we talk to Jeffrey Goldberg, editor in chief of The Atlantic. This year, The Atlantic made the decision, rare in its history but consistent during the Trump years, to endorse a presidential candidate. (You can read the magazine’s endorsement of Kamala Harris here.) Goldberg talks about navigating both pressures from owners and threats from the administration. And we discuss the urgent question of whether the media, pummeled and
discredited for years by Trump, is ready for a second Trump administration.

¿Donald Trump o Kamala Harris? Elecciones presidenciales en EE. UU.

30/10/24. Estados Unidos celebra sus elecciones presidenciales el próximo martes 5 de noviembre. Los sondeos auguran un escenario muy reñido en una contienda entre los dos principales candidatos: el republicano Donald Trump, que ya fue presidente de 2016 a 2020, y la demócrata Kamala Harris, vicepresidenta del actual presidente Joe Biden entre 2016 y 2020.

Las elecciones presidenciales las gana no el candidato que tiene más votos sino el que consigue los 270 votos electorales. Cada estado tiene un número determinado de votos electorales y, en casi todos, se juegan bajo la fórmula the winner takes it all y quien gana se lleva todos los votos electorales. Con este sistema, los analistas creen que la victoria se jugará en un puñado de estados, considerados swing states, en los que la diferencia entre los aspirantes es inferior a tres puntos.

Este año son: Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pensilvania, Carolina del Norte y Georgia. Casa de América organiza este debate para analizar las posibilidades de ambos candidatos, quiénes son los grupos de electores clave, el papel de los hispanos en la elección y las posibles consecuencias en política exterior de la victoria de uno u otra , especialmente en sus relaciones con Latinoamérica y España. Esta mesa redonda se enmarca en nuestro ciclo ‘América Vota’ en el que hacemos un seguimiento a estos procesos electorales con expertos en análisis electoral, que ofrecerán las claves para entender los mismos.

As Americans prepare to go to the polls on 5th November, the world is closely following the campaigns of both Vice President Kamala Harris and Former US President Donald Trump for President of the United States. America’s commitment to many global issues, as well as the strength of democracy, will be tested on Tuesday 5 November.

Ahead of polling day, experts will look at key questions including:

  • How are things shaping up in battleground states?
  • How are America’s foreign policy decisions influencing US voters?
  • Has Kamala Harris changed the direction of the Democratic Party in comparison to the Biden era?
  • How will this election impact the future of the Republican party?
