instrumentos de rendición de cuentas, medios de comunicación, España, ética, periodistas, ciudadanosResumen
En un contexto caracterizado por transformaciones estructurales y la crisis de credibilidad del periodismo, la rendición de cuentas de los medios adquiere una importancia central. Focalizándose en el contexto español, este artículo examina las percepciones de los periodistas y los ciudadanos sobre los mecanismos de accountability impulsados por los medios. Para ello se administró una encuesta online a periodistas, se celebraron seis grupos de discusión con ciudadanos y se realizaron 19 entrevistas en profundidad con expertos y representantes de asociaciones profesionales. Los resultados revelan la modesta evaluación que los periodistas hacen de estos instrumentos. Desde la perspectiva ciudadana, se subraya la falta de visibilidad y relativa desconfianza respecto estos mecanismos. Con el objetivo de incentivar la reflexión y la posterior toma de decisiones, se ha diseñado una plataforma open access que permite evaluar si los medios disponen de estos instrumentos clave para fomentar la transparencia, la autorregulación y la participación.
