Abstract

GOMEZ, Juan Carlos  and  HERNANDEZ, Juan Camilo. Freedom of the Press in Colombia: The Contradiction in the Search for the Truth. Palabra Clave [online]. 2008, vol.11, n.1, pp.109-122. ISSN 0122-8285.

Freedom of the press in Colombia is an issue ripe with contradiction. There is no consensus among those who govern and the agencies that investigate or monitor this phenomenon. The Media Observatory of the School of Communication conducted a study among journalists throughout the country to provide input for the discussion. It warns of the primary factors and agents that threaten this constitutional right.

Keywords : Freedom of the press; journalism; censorship; state; law and order; political attitude; Colombia.
