| Resumo |
The aim of this paper is to analyse the state of the investigative journalism in Mexico, especially the one that is practiced at the local level in the provinces. That is, this research is based upon a case study conducted in Morelia, the capital city of the state of Michoacán. The empirical evidence will show that there is an evident divergence regarding the practice of the investigative journalism: on the one hand, journalists are aware of what this concept involves and they consider that they practice it on a regular basis; but, on the other, the content analysis prove otherwise. In other words, the account of what is actually printed significantly differs from the news workers’ perceptions, because the former shows a poorly developed journalistic investigation practice. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el estado del periodismo de investigación en México, especialmente el que se practica a nivel local en los estados. Es decir, en lugar de tomar en cuenta a la llamada prensa nacional (ubicada en la Ciudad de México, capital del país), la cual no necesariamente ofrece un panorama exacto de todo el país, esta investigación se basa en un estudio de caso realizado en Morelia, capital del estado de Michoacán. Los resultados muestran que hay una divergencia con respecto a la práctica del periodismo de investigación: Por un lado, los periodistas están familiarizados con dicho concepto y consideran que lo practican regularmente; pero, por el otro, un análisis de contenido muestra lo contrario. Por esta razón, lo que la prensa publica difiere significativamente de las percepciones de los reporteros. |
