Abstract

El objetivo principal del presente artículo es analizar si el tratamiento dado por los informativos de prime time de la cadena privada española Telecinco a las noticias sobre el atentado al semanario satírico Charlie Hebdo, perpetrado el 7 de enero de 2015 en París, se puede considerar espectacularizado. Este hecho tuvo una transcendencia mundial y aún se localiza poca investigación sobre sus aspectos comunicativos. A través del análisis de contenido, con creación de categorías múltiples, se ha podido obtener datos a lo largo de 14 días de emisión, con un análisis global de 99 noticias, que nos aproxima a las técnicas empleadas en la cobertura de este evento, tanto desde el punto de vista de la imagen como del texto verbal. En los resultados, tanto de tipo cuantitativo como cualitativo, se ha podido constatar que ha habido un tratamiento espectacularizado, apoyado en la dramatización, el conflicto, la explotación de las imágenes, la exageración y la fragmentación, generando una tematización extrema del caso Charlie Hebdo. Esto llama a la reflexión, no sólo por las técnicas detectadas en la construcción de la noticia, sino por cómo otras informaciones de igual o mayor relevancia quedan de lado, ausentes en el conocimiento del público.

The publisher perpetually authorizes participants in the LOCKSS system to archive and restore our publication through the LOCKSS System for the benefit of all LOCKSS System participants.

Fair use of a copyrighted work, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include: 1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; 2. the nature of the copyrighted work; 3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; & 4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors. In accord with these provisions, the OBS journal believes in the vigorous assertion and defense of Fair Use by scholars engaged in academic research, teaching and non-commercial publishing. Thus, we view the inclusion of “quotations” from existing print, visual, audio and audio-visual texts to be appropriate examples of Fair Use, as are reproductions of visual images for the purpose of scholarly analysis. We encourage authors to obtain appropriate permissions to use materials originally produced by others, but do not require such permissions as long as the usage of such materials falls within the boundaries of Fair Use.
