Com alerta mas não em pânico. O papel da mídia durante a pandemia Segura, María Soledad communications media pandemics human rights democracy medios de comunicación pandemia derechos humanos democracia meios de comunicação pandemia direitos humanos democracia This paper analyzes the media coverage of the advance of the Covid-19 pandemic in Argentina and the measure of preventive and obligatory social isolation decreed by the national government. It highlights problematic trends and good practices according to a theoretical and normative approach, and links them to the historical characteristics of the media system in the country. It uses a theoretical-methodological perspective that conceives communication as a fundamental human right, essential in a democratic society, and the mass media as a fundamental vehicle for its exercise, and is supported by the recommendations made by international agencies, civil society organizations and national institutions. The argument is that mass media in Argentina have the historical opportunity to show the relevance of their contribution not only to face this situation, but also to come out of it as a better and more just society. Este artículo analiza la cobertura mediática del avance de la pandemia de Covid-19 en Argentina y la medida de aislamiento social preventivo y obligatorio decretada por el gobierno nacional. Destaca tendencias problemáticas y buenas prácticas según un enfoque teórico-normativo, y las vincula con las características históricas del sistema de medios en el país. Utiliza una perspectiva teórico-metodológica que concibe a la comunicación como un derecho humano fundamental, esencial en una sociedad democrática y a los medios de comunicación de masas como vehículo fundamental para su ejercicio, y se apoya en las recomendaciones formuladas por organismos internacionales, organizaciones de la sociedad civil e instituciones nacionales. Se sostiene que los medios de comunicación de masas en la Argentina tienen la oportunidad histórica de mostrar la relevancia de su aporte no sólo para que enfrentar esta coyuntura, sino también para que salgamos de ella como una sociedad mejor y más justa. Este artigo analisa a cobertura mediática do avanço da pandemia da Covid-19 na Argentina e a medida do isolamento social preventivo e obrigatório decretado pelo governo nacional, destacando tendências problemáticas e boas práticas, e vinculando-as às características históricas do sistema midiático do país. Utiliza uma perspectiva teórico-metodológica que concebe a comunicação como um direito humano fundamental, essencial numa sociedade democrática, e os meios de comunicação de massas como um veículo fundamental para o seu exercício, e é apoiada por recomendações feitas por agências internacionais, organizações da sociedade civil e instituições nacionais. Mantém-se que os meios de comunicação social na Argentina têm a oportunidade histórica de mostrar a relevância da sua contribuição não só para enfrentar esta situação, mas também para sair dela como uma sociedade melhor e mais justa Universidad Nacional Córdoba.

This paper analyzes the media coverage of the advance of the Covid-19 pandemic in Argentina and the measure of preventive and obligatory social isolation decreed by the national government. It highlights problematic trends and good practices according to a theoretical and normative approach, and links them to the historical characteristics of the media system in the country. It uses a theoretical-methodological perspective that conceives communication as a fundamental human right, essential in a democratic society, and the mass media as a fundamental vehicle for its exercise, and is supported by the recommendations made by international agencies, civil society organizations and national institutions. The argument is that mass media in Argentina have the historical opportunity to show the relevance of their contribution not only to face this situation, but also to come out of it as a better and more just society. |
