Towards an ombudsman in Peruvian media

Abstract

After a brief revision of the self-regulating mechanisms which currently exist in Perú, the present article encourages the incorporation of this professional character in Peruvian journalistic media. To do so, its possible features are outlined in a draft which aims, for instance, at the convenience of the potential ombudsman being a journalist, conducting his professional activity within an exclusivity regime, systematizing his job or maintaining encounters with the audience or citizenship in general.
