Abstract

TELLEZ GARZON, MARÍA PATRICIA. Observatories and Media Insights Groups: Experiences of Media Criticism and Citizenship Construction. Signo pensam. [online]. 2012, vol.31, n.60, pp.166-185. ISSN 0120-4823.

This investigation is based in studying experiences of media criticism and citizenship construction which in the last years are more visible and legitimate. For this, were chosen the Observatorio da Imprensa (Brasil), la Veeduría Ciudadana de Comunicación de Perú y el Compromiso por una Calidad de Televisión para la Infancia en Colombia. In the first part a presentation is made on the importance of this kind of experiences, especially in Latin America; in the second part I explain the main questions and also the purposes of the research. The third part shows the theoretical bases that sustain them. The fourth part shows the methodological design sketch of the work, which goes around the Case Studies to finish with the results and conclusions.

Keywords : Observatories; oversight committees; political; citizenship; communication; Veedurias -- Citizen participation; Social participation; Politics participation.
