Análisis de la objetividad periodística en las noticias políticas de los portales web de Caracol Radio y RCN Radio

Abstract

In the framework of globalization, which has found its height in the 21st century, the mass media are obliged to carry out a timely coverage of the most important national and local events in order to position themselves as the first source of information. With the immediacy with which the facts are exposed on the internet and on social networks, these companies need to have experts who manage the local agenda to be able to quickly and truthfully inform their audience on their web portals. The RCN Radio and Caracol Radio websites are two of the most important and visited portals in Colombia. These informative conglomerates have separate web portals in which the main news is published daily. The purpose of this monograph is to determine whether these groups objectively report political news to their audiences on their respective web portals during the first half of 2017. To carry out this analysis, the most important political news of each week will be taken and the way in which they are reported will be examined.
