The Mapping Digital Media project examines the global opportunities and risks created by the transition from traditional to digital media. Covering 60 countries, the project examines how these changes affect the core democratic service that any media system should provide: news about political, economic, and social affairs.Digital media have proliferated in Chile over the last five years. They have given impetus to a culture of openness and transparency that has been in development since the country's return to democracy in 1990. However, digitization of terrestrial broadcasting is yet to get off the ground, in spite of television's endurance as the dominant medium for news and information. Significant obstacles also remain in respect of pluralism and diversity, including ownership concentration and a persistent digital divide, neither of which have been helped by the global economic downturn.Overall, digitization has only partly impacted on the media landscape in Chile. It has neither altered the neoliberal trajectory of media policy, nor reduced high levels of ownership concentration and incumbent advantages. But there is, at the very least, a framework in place that will potentially open doors to new entrants in the digital terrestrial arena, as well as sustain the public service, local and community sectors. This will provide an important antidote to the digital divide which is likely to persist in terms of access quality, even after universal service is achieved. Whether this potential will be realized is, however, uncertain.

The purpose of this work was to train people to investigate with empirical research methodologies, and at the same time to evaluate the feasibility of applying in Chile scientific measurement instruments developed in another cultural space. For that, nine people without training tested and improved for four months the tools for the classification of journalistic frames in political and governmental news. A content analysis of news texts served to test the feasibility of measuring the generic frames proposed by Semetko Valkenburg (2000) in national reference media. The experience proved to be relevant to correct existing instruments and to improve the working dynamics of a team of coders making it more efficient and more likely to achieve valid results. ; Este artículo informa el trabajo en la capacitación de codificadores para investigar con metodologías de observación empírica y evaluar en Chile la viabilidad de aplicar instrumentos de medición científica desarrollados en otro espacio cultural. Para ello, nueve personas sin entrenamiento previo probaron y perfeccionaron durante cuatro meses instrumentos de clasificación de encuadres periodísticos en noticias políticas de la prensa chilena. Con un análisis de contenido periodístico se testeó la viabilidad de medir los cinco encuadres genéricos de Semetko Valkenburg (2000) en medios nacionales de distinto perfil. La experiencia probó ser relevante para corregir los instrumentos existentes y para perfeccionar la dinámica de trabajo de un equipo de codificadores haciéndola más eficiente y con mayores posibilidades de alcanzar resultados válidos. ; Este artigo esmiuça o trabalho de capacitação de codificadores em metodologias de observação empírica e, avalia no Chile, a viabilidade na aplicação de instrumentos de medição científica desenvolvidos em outro espaço cultural.

This study researches essential changes to Chilean journalism resulting from digitalization media: its influence on journalism practices, professional ethical standards and how public opinion and online public media influence news coverage and democratized information. The contents of twenty-six in depth interviews to experts and conventional media reporters, their online platforms, informational sites on the Internet and public media were analyzed. ; DOI:10.5294/pacla.2013.16.1.4 El estudio investiga los cambios fundamentales en el periodismo chileno producto de la digitalización: su influencia en la práctica periodística, en los estándares éticos de la profesión; el impacto de la opinión pública y de los medios ciudadanos online sobre las pautas informativas y la posible democratización de la información. Se realiza análisis de contenido a veintiséis entrevistas en profundidad con expertos e informadores de medios convencionales, de sus plataformas online, de sitios informativos en Internet y de medios ciudadanos.

This article describes the treatment of politics in the Chilean press using five generic frames and indicators: attribution of responsibility, conflict, human interest, economic consequences, and morality. The aim of our research was, for the first time in Chile, to detect the use of these frames to determine how generic they are. A quantitative content analysis, based on the indicators adapted from the baseline study and covering three years and six distinct newspapers, enabled us to establish how these frames are presented in the Chilean media, their frequency of use, and whether there are significant variations over time and among the newspapers analyzed.

Para isso, nove pessoas sem treinamento prévio provaram e aperfeiçoaram durante quatro meses instrumentos de classificação de enquadramentos jornalísticos em notícias políticas da imprensa chilena. Com uma análise de conteúdo jornalístico foram checados a viabilidade na medição dos cinco enquadramentos genéricos de Semetko & Valkenburg (2000) em meios de comunicação nacionais de diferentes perfis. A experiência se comprovou relevante na correção de instrumentos existentes e no aperfeiçoamento da dinâmica de trabalho de uma equipe de codificadores, tornando-a mais eficiente e com maiores chances de alcançar resultados válidos. ; The purpose of this work was to train people to investigate with empirical research methodologies, and at the same time to evaluate the feasibility of applying in Chile scientific measurement instruments developed in another cultural space.
