Calidad informativa: un estudio comparativo de los servicios informativos de las televisiones autonómicas públicas y privadas en España.

This work has the overall goal of creating a tool to assess the quality of information in newscasts of four Spanish regional TV stations, based on the following indicators: formal features; construction and prioritization of the topic; agenda, newsworthiness, typology and treatment, and geographical distribution. We applied a content analysis with its own variables matrix on a sample of 32 prime time newscasts and 1327 units and tested its utility to evaluate informational quality. The analysis detects, for the examined stations, a tendency towards an infotainment model, with peculiar dynamics depending on the ownership.
