Complejidad social y calidad informativa: hacia un periodismo "glocal"

subject

description

In the so-called information (and knowledge) society, quality information is, more than ever, an indispensable and inalienable public good for any citizen who wants to exercise his or her civic and political rights. Because of this, we need to have reliable (rigorous and autonomous) communication media, which disseminate relevant and quality information. But journalism does not only depend on structural questions, but also on the conditions and limits (such as simplification, for instance) that mark professional praxis, either of the political or the socioeconomic type. Social complexity requires a treatment of information that might explain reality, which implies taking advantage of the scientific method while, at the same time, practicing a kind of journalism that relates dialectically to global and local spheres.
