La investigación sobre Comunicación en España (1998-2007). Análisis de los artículos publicados en revistas científicas Communication research in Spain, 1998-2007. An analysis of papers published in Spanish communication journals
The general aim is to characterize Spanish political journalism through the discourse of editors of the po litical sections, to verify the extent to which it conforms to the model of a polarized pluralist media sys tem. In Spain has had a consolidated advocacy oriented journalism, which either made the journalist part of the party or organization's strategy, or an advocate of a particular ideology. According to Hallin and Mancini we consider two indicators of political parallelism: the journalistic orientation and practices, and the relations between the media and the political system. The data were obtained through in depth interviews with 14 editors. The results suggest that the Spanish political journalism meets two basic fe atures: high levels of political parallelism and polarization. With regard to relations between politicians and journalists, they reveal an attitude of mistrust against politicians. Keywords: political journalism; media system; partisanship; journalism culture; Spain Periodismo político en España. Prácticas, roles y actitudes Resumen El objetivo general del trabajo es caracterizar el periodismo político español para comprobar en qué me dida se ajusta al modelo del sistema mediático pluralista polarizado. Se han utilizado dos de los indica dores de paralelismo político destacados por Hallin y Mancini: las orientaciones y prácticas periodísticas y las relaciones entre periodistas y sistema político. Se han realizado entrevistas en profundidad a 14 res ponsables de la sección de política o nacional. Los resultados permiten afirmar que el periodismo polí tico en España cumple las características básicas del modelo pluralista polarizado. Los niveles de paralelismo político y politización se mantienen altos. Respecto a las relaciones entre políticos y perio distas, las entrevistas han revelado una actitud de desconfianza y el distanciamiento de los periodistas frente a los políticos.
