Los modernos alcahuetes mediáticos

In the short space of ten years, the Spanish television has shot straight from only 1 to 17 programs devoted to talk about the private life of all kinds of celebrities. These “chitchat” and gossip shows have invaded primetime spaces with the largest audiences, and generate very high screen measurement levels. In the eyes of public opinion, this phenomenon is further discrediting the prestige of a profession: journalism, which anyway, as it is, has already won many detractors. As a formula to palliate this problem, its has been suggested that, from now on, the so-called “journalists of the heart” are euphemistically mentioned as “popular communicators”; or - with no euphemisms at all and in a more pure language, with the most proper terms: gossipmongers, meddlers, or muckrakers.
