Abstract

166

A proposed ombudsman’s model for the Spanish media demands the collective appointment by the media property, editorial staff and newsroom council of a journalist with a renowned reliability and professional extensive experience, and without present and future contract into. His term on office is limited, enjoying the labour or similar union rights and works on his own initiative. The media provides the human and material necessaries resources. This institution governs by means of his owner statute, a deontological code and the style book for the journalists, who have got right to his version of events are listened to and fidelity published. Ombudsman’s actuation, confidential and with the prohibition to judge the professional or personal values of the investigated journalist, requires the full of internal and external diffusion of the results of his investigations, through predetermined channels and agreed regular recurrence.
