    A trend study in the stratification of social media use among urban youth: Chile 2009-2019
    (2021) Correa, Teresa; Valenzuela Leighton, Sebastián Andrés
    This trend study describes changes and continuities in the stratification of usage of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and WhatsApp in Chile between 2009-2019—the decade that witnessed the rise of social media. Using the Youth, Media and Participation Study—a probabilistic survey conducted on an annual basis among 1,000 individuals aged 18 to 29 living in the three largest urban areas in Chile (N = 10,518)—we analyze how frequency of use and type of activities conducted on social media has varied over time along socioeconomic status, gender, and age cohort. Instead of a uniform trend towards less (or greater) inequality, the results show that each platform exhibits a unique dynamic. For instance, whereas SES-based inequality in frequency of use has decreased on Facebook over time, it has remained stable on WhatsApp and increased on Twitter and Instagram. In addition, significant differences in the likelihood of conducting different activities(e.g., chatting, commenting news, sharing links) remained across groups, even on platforms such as Facebook where frequency of use has equalized over time.

    Beverage industry TV advertising shifts after a stepwise mandatory food marketing restriction: achievements and challenges with regulating the food marketing environment
    (2023) Stoltze, Fernanda Mediano; Correa, Teresa; Aguilar, Camila Luz Corvalan; Taillie, Lindsey Smith; Reyes, Marcela; Carpentier, Francesca Renee Dillman
    Objective: Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) are heavily advertised globally, and SSB consumption is linked to increased health risk. To reduce unhealthy food marketing, Chile implemented a regulation for products classified as high in energies, sugar, saturated fat or sodium, starting with a 2016 ban on child-targeted advertising of these products and adding a 06.00-22.00 daytime advertising ban in 2019. This study assesses changes in television advertising prevalence of ready-to-drink beverages, including and beyond SSB, to analyse how the beverage industry shifted its marketing strategies across Chile's implementation phases.Design: Beverage advertisements were recorded during two randomly constructed weeks in April-May of 2016 (pre-implementation) through 2019 (daytime ban). Ad products were classified as 'high-in' or 'non-high-in' according to regulation nutrient thresholds. Ads were analysed for their programme placement and marketing content.Setting

    For better and for worse: A panel survey of how mobile-only and hybrid Internet use affects digital skills over time
    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2022) Correa, Teresa; Valenzuela, Sebastián; Pavez, Isabel
    Public policies across the world are tackling Internet access inequality through mobile connections, which has led to an increase in mobile-only use. However, digital skills remain as a stumbling block to achieve digital inclusion. Using a two-wave panel survey on a representative sample conducted in Chile between 2018 and 2020, this study investigates how different mode of access (i.e. mobile-only vs mobile and computer) affects digital abilities over time. Results show significant differences in skills by mode of access. People who became hybrid users (mobile and computer) by wave 2 significantly gained skills while those who were hybrid and became mobile-only by wave 2 significantly lost abilities. People who did not change their type of access did not change their level of digital skills, despite the past of time and gained experience using the Internet. These conclusions show how mode of access may have a key effect on people's digital inclusion.

    Selective exposure to cable news and immigration in the U.S.: the relationship between FOX News, CNN, and attitudes toward Mexican immigrants
    (2012) Gil de Zúñiga, Homero; Correa, Teresa; Valenzuela, Sebastián
    In the past 2 decades, cable television and the Internet have greatly increased the availability of media content. The phenomenon has reinvigorated a longstanding debate about the effects of this media landscape, as people selectively get exposed to specific content. Based on U.S. national survey data, this article advances research in this area by analyzing the interplay between individuals' ideological predispositions, their selective exposure to cable news, and the relationship between selective exposure and their attitudes toward an issue with key policy-making implications: Mexican immigration. Results indicate conservative Republicans are more likely to watch FOX News, which is associated with negative perceptions of Mexican immigrants and higher support for restrictive immigration policies. Findings also suggest that liberals who get exposed to FOX News also show less support for Mexican immigration.

    The Missing Link: Identifying Digital Intermediaries in E-Government
    (2024) Toro-Maureira, Sergio; Olivares, Alejandro; Sáez-Vergara, Rocío; Valenzuela Leighton, Sebastián Andrés; Valenzuela, Macarena; Correa, Teresa
    The digitalization of public administration has advanced significantly on a global scale. Many governments now view digital platforms as essential for improving the delivery of public services and fostering direct communication between citizens and public institutions. However, this view overlooks the role played by ‘digital intermediaries’—agents who, while not formally part of the government, significantly shape the provision of e-government services. Using Chile as a case study, we analyze these intermediaries through a national survey on digitalization. We find five types of intermediaries: family members, peers, political figures, bureaucrats, and community leaders. The first two classes comprise ‘close’ intermediaries, while the latter three comprise ‘hierarchical’ intermediaries. Our findings suggest that all these intermediaries are a critical but underexplored element in the digitalization of public administration.
