Recibido: 23 de febrero de 2017 / Aceptado: 11 de septiembre de 2017 Resumen. Una cuarta parte de las informaciones difundidas por la prensa, en sus secciones de información general más cercanas, tiene su origen en hechos que pueden vincularse directa o indirectamente a un gobierno. Ese es el resultado de esta investigación sobre el peso de la información de los gobiernos Central, Autonómicos y Locales en la prensa de referencia. Con una metodológica cuantitativa, el análisis de contenido evalúa 29.342 unidades informativas en el papel de los diarios nacionales, El País y El Mundo, y locales, Sur y Málaga Hoy, durante el año 2010. La prensa nacional es menos permeable a la publicación de estos contenidos frente a lo local. Por influencias, un 42% de las noticias se refieren al gobierno central, un 30% al regional y un 28% procede de las corporaciones locales y provinciales.

One-fourth of the information provided by the press -more precisely by the closest general information sections-has its original source in facts which can be linked in a directly or indirect way to a particular government. This is the result of such an investigation on the weight of the information from Central, Regional and Local governments in the press of reference. According to a quantitative methodology, the content analysis offers an evaluation of 29,342 information units in the national newspapers El País and El Mundo, and local newspapers Sur and Málaga Hoy, along 2010. The national press is less permeable to the publication of these contents, compared to the local newspapers. Taking influences as a value of reference, 42% of the news must do with central government, 30% has to do with regional governments and 28% comes from local and provincial corporations.

Although the lack of diversity in newsrooms and reporting remains a serious issue in the journalism industry, college journalism education and student media provide a critical opportunity for change. Yet prior research has found notable diversity gaps in both. This study analyzed the state of diversity at a Midwestern university student newspaper and found significant gaps in coverage of diverse populations. The findings suggest the need for more comprehensive diversity education within the college classroom and campus media advising. This is important not only for more representative student media, but also for the future of journalism.

A Pennsylvania high school newspaper published an editorial in Fall 2013 announcing its decision to cease using the name of the school’s sports teams, Redskins. That decision prompted the local school board to institute a policy giving administrators more editorial control over the newspaper. The controversy resonated with U.S. professional journalists, who followed it as it developed. Using the theoretical framework of journalistic boundary work, this qualitative textual analysis of 94 news articles identifies three main responses: references to professionalism, praise for sound practices, and highlighting the students’ free press rights.
