Abstract

VIVEROS, Diana  and  MELLADO, Claudia. The Communication Law and its impact on the materialization of professional journalistic roles in the news of the elite press in Ecuador. Comun. soc [online]. 2018, n.32, pp.143-169. ISSN 0188-252X.  https://doi.org/10.32870/cys.v0i32.6587.

This paper analyzes how the presence of different journalistic roles in the news content changed or remained stable after the implementation of the Organic Law of Communication in Ecuador. The results show a significant correlation between the performance of different professional roles in news and the implementation of the above-mentioned law. The greatest variation occurs in the interventionist, watchdog and loyal-facilitator roles.

Keywords : professional roles of the journalist; journalism; communication law; public policies; Ecuador.
