ABSTRACT
In the scenario marked by digitalization, digital media have found spaces that allow them to face labor problems and at the same time face the risks and vulnerability that threaten the security of journalists. Therefore, this research is established to know some issues related to security: economic limitations of access to public information, censorship, and self-censorship in the journalistic exercise in Ecuador. The observation was carried out within the framework of the pandemic unleashed by the presence of COVID-19 and its variants. For the execution of the research, the qualitative methodology was applied with semi-structured interviews to investigative journalists of consolidated digital native media. Among the conclusions are noted that the pandemic brought with it labor precariousness;however, digital media have managed to maintain themselves with external funds or own resources. For the journalistic exercise, public information becomes a severe concern because access has been restricted, and there is little transparency in its disclosure. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

ABSTRACT
Purpose Searching, identifying and analysing the scientific literature on "corporate communication" published in scientific journals during the twenty-first century (2000-2021) and indexed in the Scopus database, as well as its possible relationship with COVID-19. Design/methodology/approach A systematic bibliographic search was carried out in Scopus and a subsequent analysis of the literature, based on variables such as year of publication, authorship, original language of the text, most used terms and concepts, journal titles, keywords and possible allusions to COVID-19 or the pandemic. Findings 2023 results were initially identified, but after applying the filters that limited the results in time (2000-2021) and discriminated-according to the type of document-the results only to scientific articles, the sample finally analysed was 1,280 articles relating to "corporate communication". It was found that these were mainly published in journals such as Corporate Communications and Journal of Communication Management, in English, and with an accentuated thematic dispersion, but mostly related to public relations, advertising and communication in general. Originality/value There is an article published in 2012, before the COVID-19 pandemic, in the Italian journal Igiene e sanita publica, which already established the relevance of researching the challenges and solutions to communication risks in health crisis situations.
