- Resumen
This doctoral thesis raises, as a central problem, the relations between freedom of information, journalism and the quality of democracy. The analysis takes as a starting point the procedural (rule of law and accountability), substantial (freedom and equality) and of results (responsiveness) standards defined by L. Morlino (2009) to analyze the quality of a democracy. To examine freedom of information, it studies journalistic practices from political communication and the sociology of journalism (Bourdieu, 1997; Neveu, 2004; Ortega and Humanes, 2000).
The interest of this work is focused on exploring the conditions of journalistic information production in various locations in the department of Valle del Cauca (Colombia). The methodological perspective is qualitative, exploratory in nature, and is based on semi-structured interviews to a group of 22 journalists from different regions of Valle del Cauca.
The time axis of the investigation is set between 2002 and 2014, since it is a period that has marked decisive changes in the development of the Colombian armed conflict and in the institutionality of its political system; likewise, it has been decisive in the transformations in the practice of journalism in the country. This work aims to make a contribution to studies on journalism in Colombia and contribute to the qualification of the conditions for information production in the country.
