Abstract

A recent judgment of the Spanish Constitutional Court prohibiting hidden camera like newsgathering technology in investigative journalism shows the need for studying this controversial method. The paper analyzes the “juriprudential-ethical doctrine" (Núñez Encabo, 2011: 169) on hidden camera which has elaborated the Commission of Complaints and Ethics of the FAPE. The aim is to examine the limits that it imposes to this tool and compare them with those that the Constitutional Court marks in order to determine the analogies and the differences in the interpretations of both organs.
