Abstract
La corrupción en Ecuador siempre ha sido un tema que se escucha, se lee y se observa en los titulares que día a día presentan los medios de comunicación en su agenda mediática. Pero, el 2020 quedará registrado como el año donde hubo más información que nunca por la epidemia (COVID-19) y aún más por la corrupción originada en la contratación pública en la compra y venta de materiales médicos, para solventar un escenario de crisis. Estos acontecimientos han llevado a los medios a tratar la información con investigaciones por su cuenta que den a conocer las diferentes aristas, sin perder la rigurosidad periodística y ratificando la importancia de orientarse hacia la verdad. Durante la pandemia, la Fiscalía inicio al menos 141 investigaciones relacionadas a la emergencia sanitaria, por este motivo, el objeto de esta investigación es analizar cómo los medios de comunicación trataron a los casos de corrupción que acusaban como los principales protagonistas a reconocidas figuras públicas y cuyos procesos penales se analizaron cuando se encontraban en la primera y segunda etapa de la investigación, cuando aún no había una sentencia que dictamine su culpabilidad o inocencia. Por lo tanto, el tema de estudio requiere el análisis de tres medios de comunicación nacionales que cuentan con un soporte digital como: El Comercio, El Telégrafo y La Posta.
Corruption in Ecuador has always been a topic that is heard, read and observed in the headlines that the media present every day in their media agenda. But, 2020 will be recorded as the year where there was more information than ever about the epidemic (COVID-19) and even more about the corruption originated in public procurement in the purchase and sale of medical materials, to solve a crisis scenario. These events have led the media to deal with the information with investigations on their own that make known the different aspects, without losing the journalistic rigor and ratifying the importance of being oriented towards the truth. During the pandemic, the Prosecutor's Office initiated at least 141 investigations related to the health emergency, for this reason, the purpose of this research is to analyze how the media treated the corruption cases that accused as the main protagonists recognized public figures and whose criminal proceedings were analyzed when they were in the first and second stage of the investigation, when there was not yet a sentence that dictates their guilt or innocence. Therefore, the subject of study requires the analysis of three national media that have a digital support such as: El Comercio, El Telégrafo and La Posta.
