Abstract
The present paper aims to study whether the construction of media discourses about corruption follows an archetype related with the ethics, which should lead the journalist profession. To do this we turned to primary sources involved in the Malaya case, which turn out to be paradigmatic in order to analyse the current information about corruption in Spain. Through interviews to narrators and creators of the process different sources, the narrative core, characters and expectations are known. So it can be conclude that the principle of presumption of innocence was damaged by media discourses.Downloads
