El periodismo visto desde la sistémica y la teoría del actor-red

Abstract

Journalistic work can be analyzed from different angles and applying different methods. The points of view of systems theory and actor-network theory have been chosen here and it is shown how both are related and complement each other. It is briefly explained what each one consists of and then it is explained the usefulness of each one. Then we move on to consider the context of journalistic work, before analyzing the “press” system. Subsequently, the role of the press editor, the journalist-reporter, and the users-recipients are analyzed in more detail and the role of the instruments used and their effects are addressed.
