Credibilidad de los medios de comunicación Teleamazonas y RT: un estudio comparativo del discurso de los usuarios en las publicaciones de Teleamazonas y RT en Facebook en el contexto de las protestas de octubre del 2019 en Ecuador

Abstract

The objective of this degree work was to determine the credibility of the Teleamazonas and RT media, based on a comparative study between the speeches of the users in the publications of Teleamazonas and RT on Facebook, taking as context the protests of october 2019 in Ecuador. The type of investigation was case analysis with a descriptive investigation level of simple-embedded type under a qualitative methodological approach. The study started from the selection of publications and discourses, with which an observation was made. Subsequently, we proceeded with a triangulation of techniques for the treatment of information, such as mapping speeches, content analysis, and discourse analysis. The results showed that the Teleamazonas medium has low credibility for users and that the RT medium has high credibility for users. It was concluded that the low credibility of Teleamazonas is due to the fact that it demonstrated a media position aligned with the policies of President Lenin Moreno and that RT's high credibility is due to the fact that this medium did not have a media position aligned with the policies of President Moreno.
