Description
Résumé:This article presents an interpretative analysis of the news coverage of COVID-19 during the first months of its appearance in Mexico, in the context of a collaborative journalism initiative, intending to understand the practices of news production from a civic role of journalism concerning the pandemic. The study applied structured interviews to twenty-six journalists from different media and states of the country, most of whom were members of the #TómateloEnSerioMx initiative against disseminating false information. The results contribute to understanding news production practices, agenda-building, and newsworthiness criteria deployed in the coverage of pandemics under a collaborative journalism effort performed by independent digital media.
