This study aims to detect and analyze the main elements of multimedia, crossmedia and transmedia content in the selected projects using an original analysis sheet designed for this research. In relation to the categories proposed in the categorization model, in this work we will focus on analyzing two in particular: authorship and information architecture. The projects were selected based on criteria of appropriateness, quality and innovation, as well as the results of semi-structured interviews with the heads and innovation managers (laboratories) of the media included in the framework of the projects ‘NEWSNET: News, Networks, and Users in the Hybrid Media System: Transformation of the Media Industry and the News in the Post-Industrial Era’ and ‘IAMEDIA: Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Algorithms on Online Media, Journalist and Audiences’. The aim of the qualitative analysis is to propose a list of aspects, characteristics, and fundamentals in the ideation, elaboration, and distribution of these types of products. We conclude that the results of applying the designed analysis sheet help us to understand these processes and also to propose alternatives and improvements in its design and implementation Keywords: journalism; multimedia production; crossmedia storytelling; transmedia storytelling; analysis sheet Author: Ana Serrano-Tellería and Arnau Gifreu-Castells Creator: LaTeX with hyperref Producer: pdfTeX-1.40.25; modified using OpenPDF 1.4.2 CreationDate: Sun Oct 5 09:51:33 2025 CEST ModDate: Sun Oct 5 10:08:28 2025 CEST Custom Metadata: yes Metadata Stream: no Tagged: no UserProperties: no Suspects: no Form: none JavaScript: no Pages: 24 Encrypted: no Page size: 595.276 x 841.89 pts (A4) Page rot: 0 File size: 7612954 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.7 name type encoding emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --- --- --- --------- CHEBRV+URWPalladioL-Bold Type 1 Custom yes yes yes 135 0 JGKZFZ+URWPalladioL-Roma Type 1 Custom yes yes yes 136 0 VWLUHF+URWPalladioL-Ital Type 1 Custom yes yes yes 137 0 QGUKZH+CMSY10 Type 1 Builtin yes yes yes 231 0 DLMLGD+PalatinoLinotype TrueType WinAnsi yes yes no 307 0 DLMLGD+PalatinoLinotype TrueType WinAnsi yes yes no 323 0 DLMLGD+PalatinoLinotype TrueType WinAnsi yes yes no 349 0 DLMLGD+PalatinoLinotype TrueType WinAnsi yes yes no 356 0 DLMLGD+PalatinoLinotype TrueType WinAnsi yes yes no 389 0 DLMLGD+PalatinoLinotype TrueType WinAnsi yes yes no 416 0 DLMLGD+PalatinoLinotype TrueType WinAnsi yes yes no 437 0 DLMLGD+PalatinoLinotype TrueType WinAnsi yes yes no 461 0 NROZPH+VnURWPalladioL Type 1 Custom yes yes yes 491 0 AWDAAW+VnURWPalladioL-Italic Type 1 Custom yes yes yes 544 0 Jhove (Rel. 1.28.0, 2023-05-18) Date: 2025-12-19 03:09:56 CET RepresentationInformation: journalmedia-06-00169.pdf ReportingModule: PDF-hul, Rel. 1.12.4 (2023-03-16) LastModified: 2025-12-18 15:01:38 CET Size: 7612954 Format: PDF Version: 1.7 Status: Well-Formed and valid SignatureMatches: PDF-hul MIMEtype: application/pdf PDFMetadata: Objects: 593 FreeObjects: 1 IncrementalUpdates: 0 DocumentCatalog: ViewerPreferences: HideToolbar: false HideMenubar: false HideWindowUI: false FitWindow: true CenterWindow: false DisplayDocTitle: false NonFullScreenPageMode: UseNone Direction: L2R ViewArea: CropBox ViewClip: CropBox PrintArea: CropBox PageClip: CropBox PageLayout: SinglePage PageMode: UseNone Outlines: Item: Title: Introduction Item: Title: Approach to Authorship and Information Architecture Within the Hybrid Media, News Life Logics Item: Title: Methodology Children: Item: Title: Journalistic Media and Projects Selected for the Sample Item: Title: In-Depth Interviews Item: Title: Analysis Sheet Proposal Children: Item: Title: Justification of the Analysis Sheet Item: Title: Project Analysis Children: Item: Title: elDiario.es Item: Title: ABC Item: Title: IDEAL Item: Title: El Correo Item: Title: ElConfidencial.com Item: Title: El País Item: Title: Key Categories of Comparative Analysis Item: Title: Discussion Item: Title: Conclusions Item: Title: References Info: Title: Analysis of the Multimedia, Crossmedia and Transmedia Elements in Spanish Journalistic Media Projects During the Period 2020–2022 Author: Ana Serrano-Tellería and Arnau Gifreu-Castells Subject: This paper presents a qualitative exploratory study based on the analysis of a representative sample of 35 projects carried out during the period 2020–2022 by six Spanish newspapers: elDiario.es, ABC, IDEAL, El Correo, ElConfidencial.com and El País.
