media map
• Compare it with the landscape of
traditional media
• Find possible gaps between
prereleased media and new,
exclusively online media
• Explore cultural, linguistical, content
diversities on the web

Basque, Catalonian & Galician
[partial])
• 40 million inhabitants

Trying to answer social questions
• Is it possible to develop a methodology which
allows to relation online media stats and
social indexes?
More population generates more media?
More wealth generates more media?
More individual wealth generates more media?
More Information Society generates more
media?
…and is there any relation between Information
Society, wealth and diversity?
