Objetividad periodística en tiempo de elecciones estadounidenses un análisis de la cobertura de www.nytimes.com

摘要

In a campaign that has put in the table so many questions about media objectivity and the candidates itself, this thesis attempts to analyze the coverage that The New York Times, in its digital version, gave to president elected 2016 Donald Trump. This work is not only important because there are no other investigations on this news outlet objectivity during 2016 elections; but also, because when it comes to objectivity there is only one work about the Times coverage. Therefore, to analyze whether or not NYT cover Trump objectively this analysis used 5 variables: basic info, amount of coverage, space provided per candidate, headlines and NYT Picks. Results show that the Times covered Trump more that Clinton. The coverage itself was mostly neutral; however, the Donald got more negative attention from NYT than Clinton. As a consequence, this analysis concludes that hugging a media farness should include more that objectivity.
