The Informative Truth as a Guarantee of Quality Journalism

Abstract

The hallmarks of journalism are rooted in the commitment to the truth and to act as guardian of the interests of citizens against social injustices. Also, the journalist becomes uncomfortable when observing public authorities when they lack transparency in their actions. In contrast to the journalism as a tool of the news market that privileges information for rapid consumption but with low informative substance, a model of journalism that delves into the reality of events and provides plural versions and criticism of social reality is claimed.
