Radicalization of the Media and Abuse of the law in the Doctrine of the European Court of Human Rights
Abstract
The Right to be informed and to inform has undergone a real revolution in what refers to the current vast range of possibilities. The liberation of the information services underwent a decisive step with the opening of the informative offer, but the arrival of the Internet, and its immeasurable immensity of information sources, has ended up forging Galeano’s thesis in which he assured that more and more people have the right to listen and look, but fewer and fewer people have the privilege to report, think and create.
This type of law sui generis seems to have ended up transforming in recent years the fundamental right of access to information and to inform, into a dictatorship of the word and the unique image that Galeano considered even more devastating than that arising from a single-party system.
Not only because of the risks involved in spreading falsehood; also for imposing a way of life that states as an exemplary citizen a docile consumer and a passive spectator who seems to have been molded at the whim of the commercial information society model.
A good example of this is the media management of the health crisis around COVID-19. An epidemic with remote origins but which has ended up spreading infinitely more quickly than the media had intended in order to reassure citizens and try to ensure the continuity of the markets. All this has generated the disaster and the dramatic consequences that we are all suffering.
