Estudio base para la creación de un Observatorio de medios UCG enfocado en la niñez y la adolescencia

Abstract

This research is based on a three-month monitoring of the El Universo, El Comercio and Expreso Diaries, mainly in the way in which they cover the issues related to children and adolescents, in the sports section except football. The methodology applied in this work was that of content analysis, having as its main tool an information sheet filled in for each news found regarding this age group. After analyzing the results, it was possible to know that these three newspapers mentioned have some shortcomings when publishing news related to children and adolescents; Among the main ones are the lack of inclusion as sources, lack of follow-up of the news, lack of background and which mostly only give them importance when they obtain an achievement. To try to solve these problems, this work proposes a journalistic product that serves as a base model for the generation of a Media Observatory that allows the constant study of communicational pieces and the generation of new proposals focused on the age group.
