Journalism, not without questions
Carmen Planelles.
Madrid, 16 ago (EFE) .- Historically reserved for exceptional times, but today the hearings to the media without any questions or offers videos with political statements are repeated. For some is a limit to the work of journalists, to other parties' desire to mark their messages at all times.
So much has outraged the journalistic class the last video of the President of the Generalitat Valenciana, Francisco Camps, which reacted to the file's case Gürtel ', which, in addition to the protests of professional organizations, launched a manifesto Facebook by journalist Carlos Hernández-Echevarría condemning these practices has received about 3,000 accessions in five days.
Camps recording, which also simulated a press conference does not exist, simply because there were journalists, is one in a relationship where politicians dispense with explanations to reporters. Just check databases to detect some examples.
In 2006, both the Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, the leader of the opposition, Mariano Rajoy, used this format. The first to introduce Miguel Sebastian as a candidate for mayor of Madrid (25 October) and Rajoy to fix its position on the negotiation process between the Government and ETA (June 29). Former lehendakari
Juan Jose Ibarretxe has used occasionally in one of the occasions to comment on the sentence 'Atutxa case' (January 22, 2008), and is a common practice by the spokespersons of Batasuna and its environment.
This year, former Defense Minister Federico Trillo refused to be questioned after assessing the Yak-42 Case (May 19) and so did the PP headquarters in Madrid's former Justice Minister Alfredo Prada, in relation to intelligence which allegedly had been subjected (22 January).
INTEREST FOUND
The two largest parties, PSOE and PP differ in addressing this issue. The PSOE's Communications director, Juan Antonio Blay is clear that "an appearance desaconsejaré no questions asked earnestly."
"Politicians have a moral and ethical obligation to appear. Do not be afraid of transparency," says Blay Efe, adding that "there may be exceptions, but one every year or every five years."
In the PP, the communications secretary, Carlos Floriano, defended this format where "the party wants to establish its position on issues of public interest. In accepted the questions-they told Efe- could focus on issues that have nothing to do with the purpose of their appearance. "
The problem is that in the field of political communication" confluence of two different interests, not always the same: that of the press to find the interesting point the story, find broad audiences, and the politicians to mark the message at all times, "he told Efe Luis Arroyo, president of Public Communication Advisors.
Arroyo, who has advised politicians like or Maria Carme Chacón Teresa Fernandez de la Vega, believes that we must establish a "true balance" between "freedom of the speakers to set the times when they want to give the information and the right of the press to know and meet. "
But" if someone calls a press conference and then not support questions, do not know what it is in breach of the profession and a code of democracy, "Arroyo added.
This format, says Xavier Roig, strategic communications consultant, "is becoming popular as a short-term process to exit, the least badly in a crisis situation in an organization."
But "brings complications the medium and long term, "Roig told Efe, who was chief of staff of Pasqual Maragall (1983-1996) and assisted in the campaigns of FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta (2003) and Michelle Bachelet (Chile, 2005).
Used throughout history in times of emergency, this technique has been lowering the level to be used by politicians "are not the top leaders," because "said Roig," we are living a moment of extreme tension and there afraid to face the press. " However
"he says" those formats do not improve the perception that people have of politicians. " (...)
