External Media Accountability Tools: The cases of Andalusia and the Basque Autonomous Community
Abstract
This article analyzes the accountability tools external to the media in Andalusia and the Basque Autonomous Community, which are the following: viewer associations; colleges, unions and journalist associations; press councils, audiovisual councils and media observatories; ethical codes and recommendations; blogs about journalism; and academic research groups. A comparative perspective allows us to know the state of these deontological mechanisms and establish relevant comparisons for their effectiveness in the task of ensuring the social responsibility of the media.
