Ideología, desigualdad y medios de comunicación. Un análisis comparativo de la crisis de la vivienda en los medios digitales de Irlanda y España
Resumen
Esta investigación, comparativa, muestra la influencia del alineamiento ideológico de los medios de comunicación del ecosistema digital respecto a la desigualdad económica y, en concreto, a la crisis de la vivienda. Se centra en dos países de la Unión Europea que representan modelos diferentes: Irlanda, donde más porcentaje de población elige habitar viviendas unifamiliares, y España, cuya población, en cambio, vive más en apartamentos. Son también representantes de dos sistemas mediáticos diferentes: el liberal y el democrático- polarizado. El artículo explica cómo los medios digitales construyen la agenda acerca de la crisis de la vivienda en un momento en que en toda Europa se discute ese vector como una de las principales manifestaciones de la desigualdad. Se ha llevado a cabo un análisis de contenido sobre una muestra representativa de noticias directamente relacionadas con la crisis de la vivienda en los principales medios digitales irlandeses y españoles durante un periodo de tres meses. Los resultados muestran una mayor diversidad en la agenda de los medios irlandeses, donde se constata una emergencia de posiciones de extrema derecha, aún no presentes en las instituciones de la República de Irlanda, mientras que los medios españoles muestran una agenda más homogénea. Considerar la crisis de la vivienda un efecto y no una de las causas de la desigualdad lleva a posiciones diversas. Las principales diferencias se encuentran en las soluciones propuestas, legales y políticas en el caso de los medios más escorados a la izquierda.
