Abstract
El periodismo de investigación en televisión a través del programa Diario de… tiene por objeto analizar el formato de televisión Diario de… emitido desde el año 2004 al año 2014, primero en Telecinco y posteriormente en Cuatro, tras la fusión de ambas cadenas. Es un espacio que durante diez años ha pretendido hacer periodismo de investigación en un medio, el televisivo, poco propicio; en un grupo de televisión, Mediaset, identificado por impulsar el entretenimiento o la ficción en detrimento del género informativo, y en un período de desprestigio de la especialidad. En este contexto complejo y, a veces, hostil, Diario de… tuvo que adaptarse y diseñar un formato híbrido, diferente y con unas señas de identidad muy definidas. Las especiales connotaciones que han rodeado a Diario de… desde su nacimiento hasta su finalización han coadyuvado para que decidiéramos estudiarlo minuciosamente. De igual forma, a través del análisis de Diario de… pretendemos aportar nuestro conocimiento para ampliar el ya existente sobre el periodismo de investigación en general y, más concretamente, el referido a su implementación en la televisión. El medio audiovisual caracterizado por la exaltación de la imagen y la fascinación por hacer entretenidos todos sus contenidos, ha impelido a los profesionales a realizar un periodismo en el que predomina la forma sobre el fondo y la síntesis sobre el análisis. Por consiguiente, los reportajes de investigación tratan temas que se pueden ilustrar, que interesan a los ciudadanos y que son asequibles para sus espectadores. Para realizar esta tesis ha sido pertinente emplear una metodología basada en el análisis del contenido de decenas de reportajes de investigación que a priori cumplían los requisitos exigibles a esta especialidad. Basándonos en las definiciones y las características inherentes al periodismo de investigación, ampliamente aceptadas por la comunidad científica, hemos podido reconocer algunos reportajes que forman parte indubitadamente de esta disciplina...
The function of Investigative journalism on television through the TV programme Diario de... is, as the name suggests, to analyze the TV programme Diario de…, broadcast from 2004 to 2014, initially on Telecinco and subsequently on Cuatro, after the merger of the two channels. Over a ten year period, Diario de… tried to develop investigative journalism on TV, despite certain difficulties associated with this medium. It did so within the media group Mediaset, an entity specializing in entertainment and non-factual programming at the expense of news and current affairs. In addition, this process took place in a wider social context where specialized journalism was neither supported nor given the respect it deserved. In this complex and sometimes hostile set of circumstances, Diario de… had to adapt, whilst developing its own fresh, hybrid format with a clear identity. The unique character of the programme, is what makes it deemed worthy of in-depth study. At the same time, through our analysis of the Diario de… programme, we aim to contribute in a general sense to the existing body of knowledge on investigative journalism, with special focus on its presence on television. The nature of television itself, with its reliance on the moving image and constant drive to make all content entertaining, pressurizes programme makers to produce a type of journalism where form triumphs over content, and analysis takes second place to narrative. Consequently, current affairs reports typically handle more ‘visual’ topics, which are of general interest and accessible to a wide audience. The methodology used in producing this thesis has at its core a content analysis of dozens of programmes which on the surface of it, could be considered investigative journalism. Working with accepted definitions and characteristics as applied by the research community, we have managed to identify some programmes as worthy examples of the genre...
