Abstract

Humor is a powerful tool against the institutions. In Spain, the tacit agreement established between the Monarchy and the media obstructed critical coverage of the Royal Family. The few satirical contents appeared in the media since the Spanish transition have been prosecuted. However, the digital press has initiated a different coverage on issues relating to the Crown, showing a less pleasant treatment. This research studies the characteristics of humor pieces published in these digital media through a quantitative analysis of the cartoons appeared in eight stand-alone online newspapers after the abdication of Juan Carlos I.
