EL ENFOQUE DE LAS NOTICIAS SEGÚN EL MEDIO. CASO: TÉRMINO DEL MANDATO DEL PRESIDENTE OBAMA.

Abstract

The ideal of journalism of presenting verified and truthful information is questioned when in practice, the news media for which a journalist writes, must respond to certain economic and ideological needs to survive. This phenomenon is evident when the same subject is approached from different perspectives according to the news media, resulting in opposite standpoints, as a consequence of prioritizing the information according to their convenience. To demonstrate this, the news of the end of Barack Obama’s presidency were taken as an example, from CNN, a private news media of wide relevance, and Russia Today, a public network that obeys its government. Both media have their digital platforms with a significant number of visits, in which they constantly update information. This research seeks to demonstrate in which aspects is this partialization evidenced and what role do ethics play in this respect, through the observation method and literary revisión.
