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.

Palabras clave : Journalism; journalists; attitudes; beliefs.
