“Inequality is reflected by media, but there is another stance we would like to examine with more detail in the future: the inequality of access to the media, which is called digital media inequality”. This is one of the main conclusions of the paper delivered to Meistudies congress in November 2020 by Javier Díaz-Noci and Ana Serrano, heads of the research project on News, Networks and Users in the Hybrid Media System Transformation of the Media Industry and the News in the Pots-Industrial Era. The paper focuses on the importance of inequality on the access to information and on the transformations of news in “how media routines have been affected by the digital journalism crisis and the health crisis, since inequalities inside media are also an important factor to be considered, as well as the differences in access to (good quality) information”. The researches of the DigiDoc group insist in the fact that “one of the clear consequences of the crisis, and media themselves were very aware of it, is how the unequal access to digital resources, information and education mainly, was to be worsened by the health and economic crisis”. This is one of the research lines that the group is willing to do research on in the next times. The goal of our research is to understand the formation of the public agenda based on the impact of the disease on social classes as the main factor which contributes to produce greater inequality levels, in particular inequality of opportunities as the most remarkable topic during the first stage of the pandemic.
