Consumo de información de medios de comunicación de masas y decisión de voto de la ciudadanía bogotana en las elecciones presidenciales de 2018

Abstract

The circumstance described in the approach to the problem, that is, the tension between the citizen's right to be properly informed and to access the free circulation of opinions, on the one hand; and on the other, that these guarantees are offered by the media belonging to economic interest groups with particular interests created, it raises the inevitable image of a manipulated democracy towards the convenience of the dominant elites of society, owners of those media, at the same time as leaders of the political parties. That is, perhaps, the generalized impression of citizenship and, perhaps, reason for the illegitimacy of the Colombian political system, which is reflected in the high levels of abstention that are registered in each electoral event.
