Objetividad no es neutralidad: la norma objetiva como método periodístico

Abstract

Resumen. La necesaria distancia hacia las noticias nos ha llevado a considerar objetividad, neutralidad, imparcialidad e independencia como sinónimos de equidistancia, características que nos han dirigido hacia un periodismo aséptico, basado en el modelo de confrontación entre declaraciones de dos fuentes ("she said -he said") y que ha sido necesario corregir, precisamente, desde el concepto de objetividad. En el presente artículo, analizaremos los elementos de la objetividad como método del periodismo y estudiaremos los indicadores de análisis de contenido utilizados por la mayoría de autores internacionales para analizar la objetividad periodística. De esa manera, mediremos el grado de objetividad de noticias en diferentes medios españoles, para comprobar si la información objetiva tiene cabida en medios de izquierdas y de derechas, sin faltar al rigor periodístico. Palabras clave: Objetividad; neutralidad; imparcialidad; independencia; calidad.[en] Objectivity is not Neutrality: the Objectivity Norm as the Journalistic Method Abstract. The necessary distance to the news has led us to consider objectivity, neutrality, impartiality and independence as synonyms of equidistance. Those features of current journalism made reporting aseptic, based on the model of confrontation between statements by two sources ("She said -he said"). It has been required to be corrected precisely from the concept of objectivity. In this article, the elements of objectivity as the journalistic method will be discussed, as well as the most employed content analysis indicators to analyze objectivity in the context of news quality. That way, the degree of objectivity of news in different Spanish media will be assessed, in order to check whether objective news has no place in left and right-winged media, along with the journalistic rigor.

Revisiting Quality Television: Audience Perceptions

“…Regarding the function of information, quality has been associated with the concepts of independence, pluralism, objectivity, veracity, balance, neutrality, rigor and trustworthiness (Aguilar-Paredes et al, 2016;Hampton, 2008;González-Gorosarri, 2017;Patterson, 2000;Westerstahl, 1983).This involves balancing stories with multiple and diverse points of view, a variety of knowledgeable sources and the presence and expression of diverse ideas and ideologies representative of the different segments in society (Wildman and Owen, 1985). This concept of diversity of ideas has also received the name of open diversity (Van der Wurff, 2004), which has been more popular within the realm of media policy, especially in the public sector (Park, 2005) The news should also be relevant and useful in order to understand a complex world (Heinderyckx, 2006).…”
