Abstract

FOCAS, Brenda. Work routines of crime reporters on Argentinian television (2011-2015). Comun. soc [online]. 2019, vol.16, e6822.  Epub Nov 30, 2019. ISSN 0188-252X.  https://doi.org/10.32870/cys.v2019i0.6822.

Based on 10 interviews with television crime reporters, I focus in this article on journalistic routines, construction of the media agenda, and the relationship with sources. It is observed that, in the period 2011-2015, during the second term of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, the feeling of insecurity increases as much as the perception of risk. At the same time, insecurity has been placed as a stable public concern, which affects journalists' morale and can progressively modify the way in which we present the information, and, therefore, construct the news.

Keywords : Journalists; crime programmes; newsmaking; insecurity; television.
