Abstract

This paper analyzes the presence of the objective method in the news published by the Chilean, Mexican and Spanish press. The reporting strategies linked to journalistic objectivity predominate in the three countries. While in the Chilean and Mexican press the objective method is more present through the use of quotes, their Spanish colleagues express the objective method through the use of verifiable information.

Abstract

News about drugs is important for health professionals, businesses, and the general public. However, studies examining news articles about drugs are lacking. This paper uses content analysis to examine articles about drugs in 17 Spanish newspapers (13 general, two business, and two professional) from 2008 through 2017. On average, general and business newspapers published three articles about drugs every week, and professional newspapers published 14 every week. Overall, the number of articles about drugs decreased by 10%. The most covered drug-related topics in 2017 were cancer and generics; the least covered was preclinical research. Four times more articles were published on clinical than on preclinical research. Business newspapers published more about clinical and preclinical research than other types of newspapers. Articles about drugs accounted for 0.5% (n=838/178,926) of all articles in the general newspapers, 0.8% (n=468/55,800) in the business newspapers, 8.5% (n=415/4,856) in the medical newspapers, and 1.2% (n=19/1,645) in the science news agency SINC. This study used a new strategy to search and identify newspaper articles through content analysis of large volumes of information and offered relevant data to guide future research. Las noticias sobre fármacos son importantes para los profesionales de la salud, las empresas y el público general. Sin embargo, faltan estudios que analicen los artículos periodísticos sobre fármacos. Este trabajo utiliza el análisis de contenido para examinar los artículos sobre fármacos en 17 periódicos españoles (13 generalistas, dos económicos y dos profesionales) desde 2008 hasta 2017. En promedio, tanto los periódicos generalistas como los económicos publicaron tres artículos sobre fármacos cada semana, mientras que los profesionales 14 cada semana. En conjunto, el número de artículos sobre fármacos disminuyó un 10%. Los temas relacionados con fármacos más cubiertos en 2017 fueron el cáncer y los genéricos; el menos cubierto fue la investigación preclínica. Se publicaron cuatro veces más artículos sobre investigación clínica que sobre investigación preclínica. La prensa económica publicó más sobre investigación clínica y preclínica que otros tipos de prensa. Los artículos sobre fármacos representaron el 0,5% (n=838/178.926) de todos los artículos de la prensa general, el 0,8% (n=468/55.800) de la económica, el 8,5% (n=415/4.856) de la profesional médica y el 1,2% (n=19/1.645) de la agencia de noticias científicas SINC. Este estudio se ha realizado con una nueva estrategia para buscar e identificar artículos de periódicos mediante análisis de contenido de grandes volúmenes de información y ofrece datos relevantes para orientar futuras investigaciones.
