Abstract

The present titling work is focused on the quality of the informative information of the periodical texts that were published of the 2 of April to the 18 of June of 2017 in eluniverso.com, elcomercio.com, extra.ec and eltelegrafo.com.ec on the judicial process experienced by Abdalá Bucaram for his return to Ecuador. After reviewing the texts, in their different genres, we proceeded to analyze the contents taking into account several evaluation criteria (mostly contributed by José Luis Benavides and Carlos Quintero Herrera in his book Write in Press): inclusion of background, contrast of sources, correct attribution of sources, countercurrent publication, appearance of future consequences provided by an expert and relevance. Through this comparison, which is complemented by four interviews with professionals who work in these media and four other scholars who helped to clear doubts about the journalistic texts analyzed, we highlight the shortcomings that appear most frequently in these digital journals, we collect the reasons given by some media professionals approached and we make some brief recommendations to the media that could serve to improve the journalistic treatment given.
