The loss of objectivity on TV infotainment news programs

Main Article Content

Carles Marín Lladó

Abstract

The traditionally informative television genres have been changing as infotainment programs have settled on the grills of Spanish television, both in public and private networks, as well as the regional ones. The spectacularization of these programs based primarily on the news, but also in interviews and reports have caused a loss of objectivity in their content. There is no doubt we are in a new era where television genres and formats are definitely changing. Information, opinion and the boundaries that separate infotainment from show business get mixed frequently and with impunity, to return later to the most supposedly strict and rigorous information.
