The article describes the more relevant findings of a study conducted by the Media Observatory at La Sabana University School of Communication and financed by the National Television Commission on the structure, coverage and content of national, regional and local newscasts broadcast on Colombian television. Among other aspects, it notes the disappearance of the major genres of journalism, the limited degree to which information is contextualized, the spread of "single-source" and "no source" reporting, and the predominance of judicial and sports information in televised newscasts
