El análisis de 452 informes de prensa difundido por canales nacionales muestra que la mayoría de informes se escriben de forma independiente, lo que sugiere la "objetividad" de los informes de prensa.

By analysing the "code for the coverage of the Colombian armed conflict", this paper argues that journalism ethics needs to be understood not only as a matter of journalists. Ethics also depends on the context which journalists do their job. For example, in wartime, the reporting of news is influenced not only by the economic, symbolic and media constraints, but also by the strategic aims of the armed groups. Thus, ethics codes are more than documents in which journalists state how to do their job in a right way. Like the case of the Colombian armed conflict illustrates, ethics codes are documents in which journalists defend their independence, protect themselves from threats and argue for better work conditions. In this sense, ethics codes in wartime function more as political acts of communications rather than just training documents.

L'article analyse la façon dont les journalistes colombiens établissent et mettent en scène des « frontières discursives » pour se distancier du lexique de guerre des acteurs en conflit (discours rapporté, style de rédaction descriptif et impersonnel, vocabulaire « neutre », etc.). Si, quantitativement, et dans la forme, les journalistes colombiens ordonnent leurs discours selon une rhétorique de l'objectivité, les analyses qualitatives appellent à relativiser ces observations. En effet, lorsque les journalistes engagent par exemple des marqueurs discursifs de mise à distance en attribuant la désignation polémique à une source, la manière de rapporter le discours reflète parfois l'emprise des intérêts d'une des parties en conflit.

Given the start of new peace talks between the FARC guerrillas and the Colombian government, it is crucial to understand the role of Colombian journalists in reporting peace and war.This article presents an analysis on the National Press coverage of the demobilizations of a paramilitary group (Bloque Cacique Nutibara) and a section of the FARC guerrillas (BloqueCacicaGaitana) within a frame that reflects over the ethical practice of journalism in the context of war. The results are consistent with literature arguing that ethical codes are not documents dictating how journalists should do their job, but rather they represent political acts of communication which allow journalists to reclaim their proffessional independence from sources and defend themselves from threats. The paper also discusses the apparent tension between journalism ethics, and the barriers imposed by the media´s informational needs and the strategic military aims of armed groups.
