On 9 July 2025, COIN researchers joined the live Jornada sobre Discursos de Odio organised by Cátedras RTVE within the VII Impulsa Visión RTVE Ayudas a la Investigación. The event—streamed on RTVE Play—brought together leading academic and public‐sector voices to dissect the anatomy of hate speech in today’s media ecosystem.

Our own Carlos Arcila Calderón (Cátedra RTVE–USAL “Niñ@s, jóvenes y medios”) featured on the flagship panel “Mentiras, prejuicios y propaganda: anatomía de los discursos de odio”, alongside Zoraida Callejas (UGR), Javier Marzal (UJI) and Blanca Bayo (Verifica RTVE). Carlos contributed COIN’s perspective on how sexist hate narratives disproportionately affect children and adolescents, drawing on annual barometer data to reveal patterns of implicit sexism in youth‐targeted programming.

Key takeaways:

Humanising first‐person testimony can break voyeuristic pity cycles (e.g. “Black Box Diaries” model).

Algorithmic literacy is essential for both creators and audiences to spot and counter “implicit toxicity” (sarcasm, coded hate).

Embedding media‐making skills within critical‐analysis training empowers storytellers to build counter‐narratives from the ground up.

From the COIN project, we thank Cátedras RTVE for the invitation and look forward to continuing our collaboration on WP6, as we refine ethical toolkits and share best practices for tackling hate, responsibility and vulnerability in audiovisual narratives.
