Pluralism and information control in the Spanish generalinterest channels
Keywords:
pluralism, information control, television.
Abstract
The aim of this research is to analyse and compare the newscast of the Spanish channels TVE, Antena 3,Telecinco and La Sexta aired in 2008 and 2013 in order to acknowledge the pluralism level in these generalist channels. Data shows that the presence of multiple TV channels does not guarantee a plural and diverse informative offer to the viewer. The continuous change in criteria regarding the journalistic treatment of a common topic suggest that the editorial line is not based in accuracy. These approaches reflect the existence of a permanent information control and that political and economic interests influence the versions of the news, blocking some aspects of reality to the citizens.Downloads
