This article explores implications of the lack of contextualization of the information disclosed by Colombian television news on citizens' decision making and creation of public opinion. The articles is grounded on results obtained from a research conducted by the Media Observatory of Universidad de La Sabana School of Communication and the Multimedia Center of Universidad EAFIT, sponsored by the National Television Commission which, through a content analysis, investigates on structure, coverage, and contents of television news in Colombia. Predominance of plain news, without context or with insufficient context elements, ends up in blurring of the guiding function of the journalism.
Keywords : television; news; information; contextualization.
