Resumo: Tourism is a social and scientific phenomenon. From here, its knowledge must be approached from a
complete vision and not limited to a single discipline or set of them separately, since it is multidisciplinary.
The role of international relations in tourism is a phenomenon with great economic, social, cultural, and
environmental consequences, which can condition the behavior of tourists and the tourism sector as a
whole. The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has affected the entire world population, the main economic
engines of each and every one of the countries and international relations derived from the tourism sector.
The coronavirus has not only affected the people who are under its effects, but it has also changed the
global perception of reality just as the media have been forced to create a new way of communicating.
Meanwhile, social networks have been the fastest and easiest way to disseminate all kinds of information
and misinformation, adopting new formats and new anti-hoax measures (fake news). They have been
effective and it is identified that thanks to the different platforms, citizens have found themselves
somewhat more sheltered, understood and have received information about what is happening around
their lives. Due to the closure of borders and the decrease in flights, worldwide tourism suffers serious
consequences and for all this, the incidence of the coronavirus in the economy and international relations
are protagonists of a difficult reality and a prompt and expected recovery.2021-07-01T00:00:00ZLeadership and communication in Spain and Portugal: the catholic case.Sabaté Gauxachs, AlbaChiva Polvillo, Adrianahttp://hdl.handle.net/11144/51502022-10-12T10:32:34Z2021-07-01T00:00:00ZTítulo: Leadership and communication in Spain and Portugal: the catholic case.

Resumo: Leadership takes place when a member of a group modifies the motivation or abilities of
others or when their attention is directed towards goals or to the path required to accomplish
goals (Bass, 2008). Therefore, it would not make sense to limit the scope of leadership to
business or politics, where the concept is most commonly referred to. Leadership is a practice
that can positively impact many areas, including religion (Campbell, 2021; Díez Bosch, Micó
and Sabaté Gauxachs, 2020; Hoover, 2016; Soukup, 2017). Additionally, during this present
time of uncertainty and complexity, leadership is necessary for any type of organization.
How is leadership approached by religious institutions? What is the role of the digital world in
leadership formation? The objective of this study is to map the formation of religious
leadership in Spain and Portugal in order to find initiatives and identify current necessities.
The selected methodology follows a three-stage process. First, it includes a mapping of online
initiatives regarding leadership in Catholic communities. Second, it includes a quantitative
survey. Third, is a qualitative focus on groups and in-depth interviews (Busquet and Medina,
2019).
Through the findings of the study, the situation of leadership formation in religious institutions
in both countries and the role communication plays in the matter are defined.2021-07-01T00:00:00ZThe COVID-19 vaccination agenda.

Resumo: The authorization for the vaccine against Covid-19 and the beginning of the vaccination in the
European Union represent a very singular moment in several dimensions, including strategic
communication. In the context of a pandemic and an infodemic - an epidemic also recognized
by the World Health Organization (WHO) characterized by the abnormal increase of
information on a given subject carrying the risk of severe disinformation phenomena - the
need for authorities (both Portuguese and European) to convey accurate information and to
maintain a communicative proximity is crucial. In these circumstances, online social networks
represent ineluctable channels to deliver official information. In this article, we analyze how
the European Commission, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the WHO Regional Office
for Europe, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, the Representation of
the European Commission in Portugal, the Portuguese Government, the Portuguese
Directorate-General of Health, and the Portuguese National Health Service have used
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn to communicate the vaccination during one month
since the EMA’s authorization (21st December 2020). All posts from the referred sources on
the four social networks (719 occurrences) were collected and content analysis methods were
then applied. The results show that both Portuguese and European official sources use social
media to convey authoritative information about the vaccination against Covid-19: more than
one third of the posts analyzed link to institutional websites and more than half the
publications have an informative framing. On the other hand, the analyze suggests that there
is a strong political capitalization of the momentum of hope. This exploratory study case shows
the importance of social media analysis in the context of the Covid-192021-07-01T00:00:00ZInformation verification during COVID-19.

Resumo: Disinformation poses a challenge for democracies, especially in exceptional periods such as
electoral processes but, above all, as a consequence of a global health crisis with no clear end
date. The objective of this research is to analyse the type of hoaxes identified during the
COVID-19 pandemic in southern European countries (Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece). To
this effect, 936 pieces of disinformation reported by the main verification organizations in
those countries were examined between February and August 2020: Observador and Polígrafo
(Portugal), Newtral, Maldita and EFE verifica (Spain) Facta, Open, Effecinque and Pagella
Politica (Italy) and Ellinika Hoaxes (Greece). As a final conclusion, the presence or absence of
a common pattern in the four countries is examined based on the topic of the hoaxes, their
distribution channels and how viral they spread abroad. Two axes of disinformation were
established: one health-preventive and the other in terms of political polarization.2021-07-01T00:00:00Z
