El poder de la radio

Abstract

Gabriel García Marquez’s apology of journalism, who understood it as “the best job in the world”, could be both true and naive, especially if you think about its daily practice. Putting on the costume of reporting objectively carries great risks, because it places the subject in the eye of the hurricane and leaves him in the thin line that divides the decision to stand on objective truth or to let the great powers of our country permeate his work. As we know, the radio lives on the pattern, the pattern of information and the information of the truth; but this same truth relates to the salary of the journalists. This article attempts to analyze the skills of those who, by being placed daily in front of a microphone, try to survive in the roulette that can become the imperative to be neutral and objective without risking the end-of-month check.
