Accountability y culturas periodísticas en España. Impacto y propuesta de buenas prácticas en los medios de comunicación españoles (MediaACES)

espanolLa responsabilidad de los medios de comunicacion y de los profesionales de la informacion ha de expresarse a traves de mecanismos de rendicion de cuentas (media accountability) que permitan conocer el grado de cumplimiento de valores como el pluralismo, la transparencia y la veracidad informativa. Este proyecto busca detectar las culturas periodisticas existentes en distintas comunidades autonomas de Espana, y examinar el impacto de los instrumentos de rendicion de cuentas o media accountability systems en cada territorio. El trabajo parte de la hipotesis de que la cultura periodistica en Espana no responde a un unico modelo de sistema de medios (modelo mediterraneo o pluralista polarizado), como senalan Hallin y Mancini en Comparing Media Systems, sino que la diversidad de culturas periodisticas requiere matizar esta clasificacion. La metodologia combina la tecnica de la encuesta online a diferentes actores mediaticos y diversos focus group con expertos, responsable de medios y ciudadanos. Los resultados permitiran disenar y proporcionar a los medios modelos de evaluacion de rendicion de cuentas que integren valores como la transparencia y la pluralidad. EnglishMedia accountability must be performed through mechanisms that allow the public to measure the commitment of journalists and information professionals to such values as pluralism, transparency and accuracy. This article seeks to identify the journalistic cultures existing in the several Spanish autonomous communities and to measure the impact of the media accountability systems implemented in each one of these communitites. The study is based on the hypothesis that journalistic culture in Spain does not respond to a unique media system or model (like the mediterranean or polarised pluralist models), as argued by Hallin and Mancini in Comparing Media Systems. Conversely, researchers believe that a wide range of journalistic cultures coexist in Spain, and that this fact demands the review of such classification. The research design combines an online survey among different media actors and focus groups of citizens, media experts, and media professionals. The results will allow the design and assessment of media accountability models in which values such as transparency and plurality are integrated.

Communication and Interculturality: An Experience on Intercultural Training for Journalists

Citizenship as status implies the acknowledgment of individual rights as well as social ones. This very acceptance requires the consideration of all citizens as equal despite any personal difference and it represents an aim that is mostly dependent on the mass-media social function. The formal acknowledgment of the citizenship would be scarcely important if identity stereotypes and prejudice-based discrimination occurred during citizens vital happenings. Today, citizenship must include the communicative dimension as part of the social integration project. Societies are every day more intercultural, and media play an essential role in representing the other. As part of a Grundtvig project on intercultural education, the author conducted an experience with journalistic ethics students of the Communication School at the University of Seville. From this experience, the author reflects on multiculturalism as a necessary tool in the training of future journalists.
