This study examines how social media influences the digital culture of Afghan youth, using Social Identity Theory (SIT) to explore digital behaviors, identity formation, and cultural preservation. With a sample of 400 participants, the research addresses key gaps by analyzing the impact of social media on societal norms, cultural values, and online relationships. The findings highlight social media's pivotal role in shaping Afghan digital culture, with a particular emphasis on the active engagement of youth in political, religious, sports, and entertainment content. However, the study reveals a notable gap in the sharing of educational content. Practical recommendations are offered for leveraging social media to promote cultural preservation while mitigating potential negative effects. This research contributes to the understanding of how digital culture can be nurtured to respect tradition while embracing innovation, ultimately fostering a vibrant and sustainable digital environment.</p>Direitos de Autor (c) https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/mj/article/view/17732DIGITAL VISUALIZATION IN THE STRUCTURE OF PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY EDUCATION OF FUTURE JOURNALISTS2025-12-27T21:54:04+00:00Elena Doroschukdoroschuk.kfu@list.ru<p>Based on the analysis of the experience of visualization of educational information in the training of future journalists at Kazan Federal University, the features and prospects for the development of visualization of education of future journalists are determined with an emphasis on digital visualization formats. The multifaceted nature of the study of visual technologies is emphasized, which predetermines their multicomponent composition, on the basis of which the main areas of theoretical research of visual technologies are determined: information design; communication technologies; psychological and pedagogical aspect; development of visual thinking. Based on the orientation of journalism education towards virtualization with a high degree of visualization of educational material, the author identifies two approaches to the implementation of visualization in journalism education: educational - visual technologies are used in the educational activities of future journalists in order to achieve educational goals (this aspect most of all actualizes the visual competencies of the teacher); professional and creative – visual technologies are used as formats for creative application in the process of training future journalists as media workers with a practice-oriented mindset (this aspect can be expressed in a set of project tasks, for example, to create visual products of the modern media field – longreads, multimedia stories, short videos, etc. and actualizes the visual competencies of both the teacher and, to a greater extent, the student). The author attributes cognitive visualization to the most productive types of visualization in the educational activities of future journalists, which is capable of combining different plans of practical activity of the future journalist and identifies three main areas of visualization in journalism education: 1) working with big data; 2) creating visualized media products; 3) research visualization.</p>Direitos de Autor (c) https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/mj/article/view/17703Verdad y ficción: la honestidad en los personajes de las series de Netflix2025-12-20T23:11:21+00:00Ana Romero Iribasana.romero.iribas@urjc.esLeticia Porto Pedrosaleticia.porto@urjc.esMarta Sánchez Esparzamarta.sanchez@urjc.es<p> </p> <div>En un contexto marcado por el consumo masivo de contenidos audiovisuales por parte de jóvenes y adolescentes, este artículo analiza la representación de la honestidad en las cinco series más vistas de Netflix entre septiembre de 2024 y marzo de 2025. Desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar que integra comunicación, psicología y ética educativa, se examinan las manifestaciones de honestidad y deshonestidad en 50 personajes utilizando una taxonomía basada en el trabajo de Miller. A partir de la técnica de análisis de contenido, este estudio identifica patrones narrativos y pretende evaluar el impacto educativo de esta ficción seriada en la formación ética de los espectadores. Los resultados muestran que la honestidad, como valor narrativo, actúa como columna vertebral en la construcción de los personajes estudiados y de sus relaciones, pudiendo influir de manera significativa en la percepción moral del público. Se concluye que las series analizadas poseen un notable potencial educativo respecto a la honestidad, ya que influyen emocionalmente en el público a su favor; presentan modelos de conducta que pueden ser imitados, rechazados o reinterpretados; dificultan que los espectadores emitan juicios morales; y muestran contextos que complican actuar con honestidad.</div> <p> </p> <p> </p>Direitos de Autor (c) https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/mj/article/view/17702Truth and fiction: honesty in the characters of Netflix’ series2025-12-20T22:56:06+00:00Marta Sánchez Esparzamarta.sanchez@urjc.es<p>Num contexto marcado pelo consumo massivo de conteúdos audiovisuais por jovens e adolescentes, este artigo analisa a representação da honestidade nas cinco séries mais assistidas na Netflix entre setembro de 2024 e março de 2025. A partir de uma perspetiva interdisciplinar que integra comunicação, psicologia e ética educacional, as manifestações de honestidade e desonestidade em 50 personagens são examinadas utilizando uma taxonomia baseada no trabalho de Miller. A partir da técnica de análise de conteúdo, este estudo identifica padrões narrativos e pretende avaliar o impacto educativo dessa ficção seriada na formação ética dos espectadores. Os resultados mostram que a honestidade, como valor narrativo, atua como espinha dorsal na construção dos personagens estudados e suas relações, podendo influenciar significativamente a percepção moral do público. Conclui-se que as séries analisadas têm um potencial educativo significativo em relação à honestidade, pois influenciam emocionalmente o público a seu favor; apresentam modelos de comportamento que podem ser imitados, rejeitados ou reinterpretados pelo público; dificultam que os espectadores façam julgamentos morais; e apresentam contextos que dificultam agir com honestidade.</p>Direitos de Autor (c) https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/mj/article/view/17671Guerras visíveis e invisíveis?2025-12-15T21:35:42+00:00Juliana Fernandesjuliana_sofia_fernandes@iscte-iul.ptJosé Santana Pereira jose.santana.pereira@iscte-iul.pt<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Este artigo analisa os efeitos do </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">framing</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> de conflitos armados nas perceções individuais, ao comparar duas guerras desiguais na sua visibilidade mediática: o conflito iemenita e o conflito na Ucrânia.
