MERCHANT, Diana Denisse. JOURNALISTIC GUILD TYPOLOGY OF BAJA CALIFORNIA: APPROACH FROM MEMBERS PERCEPTIONS. Revista Chakiñan [online]. 2021, n.13, pp.38-54. ISSN 2550-6722.  https://doi.org/10.37135/chk.002.13.02.

The objective of this article is to generate a typology of the journalistic guild in Baja California, Mexico in order to present as a subjective mediation in the development of journalists´ professional practice. Thirty-seven in-depth interviews were implemented to journalists from the state of Baja California and a free association technique was applied using the pile sorting analysis. Three types of journalists were found: the critical journalist, the government-society liaison journalist, and the indifferent journalist. This article concludes that the proposed typology is dynamic, which means, there is a simultaneity of types of journalists, that journalists adopt within the guild. This situation generates spontaneous journalistic practices that change according to ideas and feelings that appear in specific circumstances.

Keywords : Journalism; journalists; attitudes; beliefs.
