El pacto periodístico

Main Article Content

Ma. de Lourdes Romero Álvarez

Abstract

This article discusses one of the fundamental questions about journalism, which the author defines as the journalistic pact. This pact, involving the journalist and his/her readers, assumes that the spokesperson expresses the event as he/she saw it and the receptor accepts the way the event was expressed. The commitment between both obliges them to know and fulfil the contract to avoid anyone being dissatisfied. The journalist converts the facts into a story; by processing them he/she manipulates them, that is to say, he/she interprets, selects and organises, prioritises and applies linguistic criteria requirements. The outcome of this subjective  process is presented to the reader as verified and current fact.
