Análisis del contenido mediático aplicando el índice de vulneración de derechos en los medios, casos: El Extra y El Comercio de Ecuador

Abstract

The objective of this research work is to determine if the press media El Extra and El Comercio violate the rights of people in their publications. It has been convenient to analyze the information treatment of these media because for years the Ecuadorian media have presented problems of rights violations. However, it is convenient to analyze how the information treatment is, now that there are legislations such as the Communication Law and the Ecuadorian Constitution that protect the rights of those involved in the news act, the same ones that place in first instance the dignity of the person. In this way, with the support of theories of several authors, and the use of several research techniques such as the observation file, interviews and surveys, it was possible to make a diagnosis of this informative work, which allowed to determine both strengths and threats that the media analyzed in terms of the violation of rights. The diagnosis of this work allowed the elaboration of a proposal to improve the information treatment, which is a digital Guide aimed to journalists, students and social communicators. This guide will contain recommendations that can be used in journalistic work to improve the information treatment with quality information that does not violate any right of citizens.
