Análisis de la relación de los medios de comunicación en la política exterior de Colombia.

Abstract

The management of foreign policy in general and specifically that of Colombia is closely related to the digital media. Evidently the development of technology has resulted in the phenomenon of globalization since the incursion of the internet in the global sphere has allowed the exchange of information in real time in any part of the world. This situation has evidently had a direct influence on the dynamism of foreign policy, showing that telecommunications technologies and the use of the internet create a massive flow of information that travels through countries and continents that can intervene widely in the political decisions of management between countries. By having free access to information, citizens have acquired a more important participation in the management of these policies, not only by disclosing information but also by giving their opinions about them, however, it is evident that despite the fact that Colombia's political management is closely linked to the dynamics of the circulation of information, especially through social networks and on digital news pages, with regard to foreign policy, its international relations are largely subjugated to the trends of the United States, this being the country the one that leads all international policies and that also makes use of these technologies to its advantage. To analyze this issue, we will proceed to investigate the panorama of the media and its evolution, subsequently we will analyze the concepts of foreign policy and the influence of digital media on the dynamism of this policy at a global level to later delve into an analysis the behavior of these media in Colombia.
