Análisis de contenidos foto periodísticos de los medios escritos en Ecuador caso red social Instagram de El Comercio, El Universo y El Mercurio

Abstract

Abstract: The present investigation seeks to examine the photojournalistic content of the media written on the Instagram accounts of El Comercio, El Universo and El Mercurio in search of signs of trivialization in these newspapers to gain space on the social network. An analysis sheet was designed with 17 variables to collect information such as type of images, evidence of retouching, presence of text on the photograph, double pass, style, scope of the news, gender of the main person photographed, relevance of the main subject, image trend, journalistic photo genre and theme. 677 publications corresponding to the month of December 2022 were collected and examined, and it was found that examples of content trivialization were high compared to content of political, cultural or economic importance, suggesting that these written media use trivialization practices in a percentage high and dedicate much of their content to social issues and sports for their audiences.
