AGUADO-GUADALUPE, Guadalupe  and  BERNAOLA, Itziar. Agenda building in Spanish alternative and cooperative media: topics, use of sources and collaborative practices. Comun. soc [online]. 2022, vol.19, e8103.  Epub Oct 03, 2022. ISSN 0188-252X.  https://doi.org/10.32870/cys.v2022.8103.

This paper analyzes the agenda building of four Spanish alternative and cooperative media: La Marea, El Salto, Crític and 5W. Using content analysis of the cover pages and open-ended questionnaires to the media, we have detected a prevalence of social issues and topics. Expert and primary sources, as opposed to institutional sources, predominate, while collaborative practices with related media for the development and diffusion of content are also common.

Keywords : Alternative media; cooperative media; agenda building; sources; collaborative journalism.
