Abstract
BOTERO, Adriana Villegas and QUINTERO, Yoiver Giraldo. Informative Treatment on Corruption Issues of Manizales Digital Media. Soc. Econ. [online]. 2019, n.38, pp.105-129. ISSN 1657-6357. https://doi.org/10.25100/sye.v0i38.8027.
In order to inquire the information treatment around corruption within digital media, in Manizales, Colombia, and using methodical observation as a research technique, in this study 586 notes on corruption topics published by six digital media were analyzed. For the analysis of the information, the Question Pro software was used. The results show that media prefers to disseminate news and opinion pieces related to acts of corruption of a national nature, which occurred months or years ago, while the report on recent and local events is more scarce. The publications highlight actions on the battle against corruption by including official sources in the notes. Likewise, media publishes more information about illegal practices carried out by high-status public servants. Finally, it was found that media does not take advantage of the interactive opportunities offered by digital environments.
