Sensacionalismo en la información periodística sobre el hospital Carlos Haya de Málaga: un riesgo evitable = Sensationalism in reporting on the hospital Carlos Haya in Málaga: an avoidable risk
Abstract
Resumen: Se realiza el análisis periodístico de tres noticias aparecidas en el diario La Opinión de Málaga entre los días 18 y 30 de enero de 2012, sobre supuestas deficiencias graves en la atención de los pacientes que acuden al servicio de urgencias del hospital Carlos Haya de Málaga. Tras
analizar las fuentes, factores de noticiabilidad, agenda informativa, titulares, subtítulos y textos (incluyendo la entrevista a un alto cargo), se concluye que el medio citado ha dado un tratamiento informativo poco riguroso, sesgado, sensacionalista e incompleto. La alta carga emocional y la tensión, propias de cualquier servicio de urgencias, pueden convertirse en un terreno abonado en el que broten situaciones muy perjudiciales (para usuarios y profesionales) por informaciones de este tipo, contrarias a la responsabilidad social del Periodismo y a su papel crítico ante las instancias de poder, en este caso responsables de la gestión sanitaria.
