Estado de la pobreza en España 2026 (Informe nº 16 de EAPN-S)

A lo largo de las siguientes páginas se ofrece un análisis de los principales indicadores de pobreza y exclusión social que pueden medirse en las diferentes comunidades autónomas. El informe parte con un doble objetivo: por un lado, proporcionar una herramienta que permita comprender en profundidad laexpresión territorial de la pobreza y vulnerabilidad; y, por otro, evaluar a nivel
territorial el cumplimiento de las metas y compromisos relacionados con las mismas que fueron adoptados en el marco de prioridades asumido en la Agenda 2030. Además, este trabajo debe entenderse como la segunda parte del XVI Informe El Estado de la Pobreza, cuya primera parte fue presentada el 3 de junio de 2026.

Desde hace muchos años EAPN-ES pone de manifiesto en sus diferentes informes la gran diversidad social y económica de los territorios que componen el Estado español y la necesidad de reducir las importantes desigualdades que de ella se derivan en la calidad de vida de las personas. Debe decirse, también, que la desigualdad territorial se refleja en la práctica totalidad de los indicadores que se utilizan para medir pobreza, exclusión y vulnerabilidad y que avanzar en la reducción de esta brecha es un factor fundamental para el cumplimiento de los objetivos comprometidos por España en las diferentes estrategias de lucha contra la pobreza y exclusión que se han implementado en la Unión Europea

The most innovative countries (The Economist)

Will Donald Trump hurt America’s ranking?

HAS PRESIDENT Donald Trump been good for American innovation? His administration has championed cutting-edge industries such as semiconductors and artificial intelligence (“Whoever wins AI, WINS!”). It has presided over an unprecedented data-centre boom, ensuring that the country has more available “compute” than any other. And the Genius Act, passed last year, set the regulatory foundation for stablecoins, digital currencies linked to the dollar. 

But Mr Trump has also attacked the country’s leading universities, restricted high-skilled immigration and cut funding to public institutions that support research. Academics complain of a “war on science”. 

The overall effect on American ingenuity is hard to track. One place to look for clues is the Global Innovation Index, published each year by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO). It ranks 139 economies based on 79 indicators, from R&D spending to school test scores. Some of the data is not timely enough to capture Mr Trump’s influence. But a variety of measures refer to his first year back in office.

Information wars… (The Chicago Council…)

Disinformation has become one of the defining challenges facing democracies, eroding public trust, influencing elections, and testing whether open societies can defend themselves without compromising the freedoms they seek to protect. Europe has become a laboratory for this struggle, with countries across the continent confronting different forms of the threat.

What does disinformation look like in different parts of Europe? As the continent prepares for another wave of elections, which approaches are proving most effective at combating disinformation? And what can Europe’s experiences reveal about strengthening democratic resilience on both sides of the Atlantic? Join Paweł Markiewicz, Vanessa Audemard d’Alançon, and Ari Tabatabai for a discussion on disinformation and the future of democratic discourse. 

This program is held in partnership with the Consulate General of France and the Consulate General of Poland in Chicago.

How the editors make the news happen (Knight Center)

BANNER (4).png

A great story can still die on the editor’s desk, buried by a bad assignment, a gap nobody caught, or a draft that went out before it was ready.

Editing isn’t about fixing typos. It’s about making the calls that decide whether a story actually happens.

In one week, John O’Neil, former editor at The New York Times and Bloomberg News, kicks off a FREE, four-week course: How Editors Make the News Happen: A Practical Guide to Newsroom Editing Beyond Copy Editing. Continue leyendo →
