Abstract

ABSTRACTContemporary journalism is facing challenges because several changes in the world: the decline of democracy,: the proliferation of false information (both in “official” and informal spaces), the raise (and transformation) of communication agencies with profit priority, and the urgent need to promote educational alternatives for citizenship. For all these reasons, it is necessary the presence of information channels that maintain a balance between the quality of information, economic sustainability, and the promotion of active audiences. This is particularly important when the conditions for the exercise of journalism are facing regimes with conditions of authoritarianism, such as hybrid democracies and authoritarian governments. In this article, success stories of independent journalism in Peru, Honduras, and Mexico will be analyzed, as well as their strategies to guarantee responsible practice and economic sustainability. In this sense, the cases will be analyzed through system thinking, considering the characterization and common elements found in three Latin American hybrid democracies.KEYWORDS: Independent journalismhybrid democraciesjournalistic deontologydisinformationdigital journalismmultimedial journalism Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

混合民主制度下的独立新闻:三个拉美国家的系统视角

摘要当代新闻正面临挑战，因为世界上的一些变化:民主的衰落，虚假信息的泛滥(包括“官方”和非正式空间)，以利润为优先的传播机构的兴起(和转型)，以及迫切需要促进公民的教育选择。由于所有这些原因，有必要建立信息渠道，在信息质量、经济可持续性和促进积极受众之间保持平衡。当新闻工作的条件是面对威权主义的政权时，这一点尤其重要，例如混合民主和威权政府。本文将分析秘鲁、宏都拉斯和墨西哥独立新闻的成功故事，以及他们保证负责任的做法和经济可持续性的策略。在这个意义上，案例将通过系统思维进行分析，考虑到三个拉丁美洲混合民主国家的特征和共同因素。关键词:独立新闻、混合民主、新闻道义、虚假信息、数字新闻、多媒体新闻披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。

期刊介绍： ournalism Practice provides opportunities for reflective, critical and research-based studies focused on the professional practice of journalism. The emphasis on journalism practice does not imply any false or intellectually disabling disconnect between theory and practice, but simply an assertion that Journalism Practice’s primary concern is to analyse and explore issues of practice and professional relevance. Journalism Practice is an intellectually rigorous journal with all contributions being refereed anonymously by acknowledged international experts in the field. An intellectually lively, but professionally experienced, Editorial Board with a wide-ranging experience of journalism practice advises and supports the Editor. Journalism Practice is devoted to: the study and analysis of significant issues arising from journalism as a field of professional practice; relevant developments in journalism training and education, as well as the construction of a reflective curriculum for journalism; analysis of journalism practice across the distinctive but converging media platforms of magazines, newspapers, online, radio and television; and the provision of a public space for practice-led, scholarly contributions from journalists as well as academics. Journalism Practice’s ambitious scope includes: the history of journalism practice; the professional practice of journalism; journalism training and education; journalism practice and new technology; journalism practice and ethics; and journalism practice and policy.
