Desempeño de medios en democracias transicionales by Martín Echeverria PhD
Con el objetivo de analizar esta influencia y compararla con otros factores relevantes, se tomó como caso de estudio la elección extraordinaria a gobernador en Puebla. Utilizando un diseño mixto secuencial explicativo (Creswell, 2014), la investigación combinó una encuesta en línea con grupos de enfoque en diversas regiones del estado.
Los resultados revelaron que la identificación partidista está en declive, los grupos de referencia influyen cuando los electores se sienten desinformados, y las encuestas ejercen un impacto notable cuando los votantes son cuestionados directamente sobre ellas, aunque tienden a negar su influencia de manera general. Estos hallazgos arrojan luz sobre el comportamiento electoral en México y su relación con una de las herramientas más controvertidas de las campañas modernas.
los rasgos de sesgo partidista y oficialista con los que se condujo la cobertura de las elecciones por décadas. Se elabora un repaso de los rasgos históricos y estructurales de dicha prensa, así como algunas señales de transformación, pero también de involución reciente. Mediante un análisis de contenido de 2 mil 95 notas informativas acerca de la elección, distribuidas en 17 fechas a lo largo de la campaña en 22 diarios nacionales y locales, pusimos a prueba los valores equidad, pluralidad, profundidad informativa y deliberación mediada, expuestos en el capitulo teórico. Los resultados son contrastantes. Por un lado, la cobertura de campaña se demuestra imparcial y plural en términos de actores, superando problemas históricamente padecidos de sesgo partidista. No obstante, la prensa también exhibe pobreza informativa, dado el limitado número de temas que reproduce, falta de argumentos y propuestas que demanda de los candidatos, y carencia general de rasgos de deliberación. Concluimos que la prensa mexicana ha superado un piso mínimo de normas de desempeño necesarias para su funcionamiento en democracia, pero que aún está lejos de constituir un instrumento significativo para la profundización de la misma.
This is analyzed from three points of view: the stalemate Mexican media system and ineffective regulations, the conditions of risk and insecurity of the journalists on the field, and the limits of freedom of expression, political substance, and inclusiveness of media content.
A binational effort, with research from US and Mexican authors, a wide analytic perspective is provided on the macro, meso, and micro levels, allowing for a deep conceptual richness and a comprehensive understanding of the Mexican case. With leading researchers in the field, the volume revolves around the problems of the media in post-authoritarian democracies.
By answering the questions of how and why the Mexican media has not fully democratized, the works encompassed here can resonate with and are relevant to other post-authoritarian countries and academic disciplines.
una profesionalización de la prensa en el marco de una modernización generalizada del sistema mediático nacional. Sin embargo, investigaciones posteriores —en su mayoría mexicanas— han subrayado la continuidad de las prácticas y esquemas que marcaron la relación entre los medios y el régimen autoritario del siglo pasado,
articularmente en los niveles estatal y local. Por tal motivo, el objetivo de este trabajo es explicar la coexistencia de factores liberales y autoritarios en el ejercicio periodístico mexicano. Para lograrlo, el argumento central se enfoca en el análisis de las fuerzas exógenas (relacionadas con el sistema político) y endógenas (vinculadas al sistema mediático), que simultáneamente fomentan y/o bloquean la transformación del periodismo, con lo cual generan un proceso irregular de modernización.
mediática, tampoco les permiten funcionar como actos de deliberación.
de la elección mexicana de 2018 (N = 556 unidades), operacionalizando criterios de deliberación. Encontramos que se condujeron con civilidad, priorizando temas de política pública, aunque hubo elementos de simplificación y pobreza argumentativa; si bien esto no los inserta en la lógica mediática, tampoco les permite funcionar como actos
de deliberación.
el organizacional, cuando se ignora la superioridad operativa de unas campañas sobre otras; y el metodológico, acerca del muestreo y validez de los indicadores usados. Las soluciones propuestas en el texto se ponen a prueba en la cobertura de las elecciones mexicanas de 2012, con resultados sugerentes.
En primera instancia propone un marco teórico para analizar los procesos de socialización política contemporáneos, particularmente los que se dan de manera horizontal entre pares a través, aunque no exclusivamente, las redes sociodigitales. Ello complementa las formas tradicionales verticales de socialización de los adultos a los jóvenes, y explica las posibles rupturas y continuidades en la cultura política de aquellos jóvenes que ejercen su ciudadanía después de la transición democrática del 2000.
La evidencia empírica presentada desde encuestas y grupos de enfoque realizados en varias regiones del país, sugiere que valores como la tolerancia, la civilidad o el interés comunitario se enfatizan en dicha generación, aunque continúa la proclividad a la corrupción o la desafección política.
Concluimos que una transición democrática en su dimensión cultural es tarea pendiente incluso para las recientes generaciones; que los pobres resultados y el mal desempeño de la clase política ha tenido un efecto en que dicha transición no se haya verificado; y que existe una reserva importante de civilidad, participación e involucramiento de los jóvenes en lo político, aunque a través de canales no institucionales o formales de la política.
With an international team of expert authors, this volume meticulously scrutinises instances of State-sponsored disinformation across a diverse spectrum of 14 countries encompassing Western and Eastern Europe, North and Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. It examines how political landscapes amplify or constrain disinformation, advancing a comprehensive understanding of its dynamics in the contemporary global milieu. The book is organised in three sections that gather case studies from democratic, non-democratic, and transitional regimes.
Advancing the field of misinformation and disinformation studies by specialising in State-sponsored operations and their consequences, this book will be an essential volume for scholars and upper-level students of media and communication studies, journalism, political communication, disinformation and misinformation, social media, sociology, and international politics.
