Interculturalidad y medios de comunicación públicos. Caso de estudio Televisión Legislativa

Abstract

Abstract: Interculturality is a tool used by the media, especially public media, with the objective of eliminating acts of racism and hatred against vulnerable groups in the country. In this research we proposed to analyze the main characteristics regarding interculturality of the programs Ranti Ranti, Amigos del patrimonio, Buen Vivir, Ama la vida and Expedición Ñapa; of the Legislativa channel, using for this analysis the categories: power scheme, ethnic representativeness, educational function, representation of the national reality, historical and economic context. The results showed evidence of the use of functional interculturality in most programs, as their main script focuses on commercial and exotic topics, neglecting the main social and economic problems of each filming location.
