Open-access Journalism as expert system

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    The article analyses the press (understood as news' diffusion by any means) making use of Anthony Giddens' concepts in The consequences of modernity. The press is seen as an expert system, that is, a system with technique excellence, whose efficacy depends on the trust of its consumers. From this observation, the article searches to establish the centrality of the press in contemporary political procedures and the defiance it introduces to the democratic order.
