MEDIA LITERACY AND INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE<br />

Strategies, Debates and Good Practices<br />

<br />

use is made of the language and build a quality meter that provides objective<br />

data to the media, without discarding more subjective values related to ethics<br />

and journalistic ethics as the ones related to the conditions of production, so<br />

that they can be interpreted any interest in the inclusion-exclusion and<br />

treatment of certain news.<br />

The qualitative and quantitative researches have been so far independent and<br />

specific methods were used depending on the type of study in question. Current<br />

research about communication opt for the application of quantitative and<br />

qualitative, breaking with the traditional procedures that scientifics and<br />

researches has used most of all.<br />

Quality Criteria: The Analysis tab includes quantitative values but introduces<br />

other more specific values that depend on the attitude of the journalist with the<br />

information: Ie, the journalist is a producer of news and he focus it, structure it,<br />

contact with some sources and obvious others (in response to particular<br />

interests or higher internal and external stays to the medium), explains,<br />

analyzes, interprets and sometimes makes a critical assessment<br />

(argumentative or not) of the information.<br />

It can also happens the opposite case and find that the information only<br />

responds to a holding structure, inverted pyramid, not verified, exempt of<br />

explanation, interpretation or analysis, sensationalist, without public interest...<br />

Therefore, the journalist can demonstrate objective criteria that will help to<br />

measure the quality (whether or not he want to apply it) is a step forward, while<br />

its commitment with the media literacy to inform and also educate citizens is<br />

more exposed.<br />

The summary sheet will be the instrument for measuring the quality of<br />

journalism. This tab may include the following items:<br />
