Abstract
The perceived effectiveness of established and innovative media accountability instruments is analyzed in Andalusia, Euskadi, Catalonia, Galicia, Madrid and Valencia, and by means of a survey conducted among journalists, focus groups with media consumers in each community, and in-depth interviews with experts. Some differences are observed across professionals, citizens and experts and amongst the different autonomous communities. Audience participation in media accountability is the most controversial aspect.
Highlights
Multiple cases of disinformation, hoaxes and misleading information were reported in 2018 across the world
The interactive dimension of accountability has been stressed (Lee, 2000, von Krogh, 2012), Groenhart (2012, p. 201) maintains that it is “problematic”, because “the term interactive suggests a level of reciprocity that is unlikely in journalism.”
The research will focus on the perceptions of journalists, media users and experts
