Contenido de la información que sobre arte contemporáneo se emite a través de los medios digitales El Comercio de Ecuador y El País de España

Abstract

Today it is possible to access news about contemporary art from several regions around the world, through digital media. Nowadays art has no limits and it is based in many production mechanisms. Consequently, it requires help from the media to connect the audience with the wide-ranging artistic currents and the lives of their creators. The objective of this project is to contrast the information about contemporary art portrayed in two digital media: El Comercio (Ecuador) and El País (Spain). Since the author’s experience these media present a larger cultural agenda than other media in their countries. By means of observation two aspects are compared: the topics that they publish in thefield of contemporary art, and the multimedia tools used to present the topic.
