Abstract
En 1992 se produjo un triple crimen en la Comunidad Valenciana que conmocionó a todo el país. Miriam, Toñi y Desirée fueron asesinadas brutalmente en su pueblo, Alcàsser. Su búsqueda duró 75 días y dejó muchas ‘’víctimas’’ por el camino.
Fueron conocidas como ‘’las niñas de Alcàsser’’. La televisión hizo un tratamiento periodístico intensivo en Alcàsser, posicionándose en la cúspide de los medios de comunicación de la época, por encima de la radio y los medios escritos. El nacimiento de las cadenas privadas en 1990, la lucha por las audiencias masivas y con ello, el aumento de ingresos en publicidad, llevó a las televisiones de nuestro país a tratar de la forma más cruda uno de los crímenes más conocidos nacionalmente.
Este reportaje pretende analizar el tratamiento periodístico que dieron, especialmente, tres programas de televisión de tres cadenas distintas: Quién sabe dónde (TVE), De Tú a Tú (Antena3) y Esta noche cruzamos el Mississippi (Telecinco). Observaremos cómo un hecho tan trágico y triste fue convertido prácticamente en un reality show y cómo comenzó el sensacionalismo en la televisión, llamando mucho más la atención en el receptor que cualquier otro medio. En contadas ocasiones se hablará también del programa ‘’El jui del cas Alcàsser’’, del canal 9, el cual siguió vista a vista minuciosamente el juicio.
He querido reflejar en los resultados, el uso continuo del amarillismo y métodos periodísticos que no encajan con el código deontológico de éste, ensalzando el contenido más íntimo y sentimental para conseguir que el público empatice con la historia y así, no poder despegarles de la televisión.
Tanto Nieves Herrero, presentadora de De tú a tú, como Pepe Navarro, presentador del Mississippi, son un claro ejemplo de que pasar la línea roja del periodismo amarillista puede salir muy caro.
In 1992 there was a triple crime in the Valencian Community that shocked the entire country. Miriam, Toñi and Desirée were brutally murdered in their town, Alcàsser. His search lasted 75 days and left many '' victims '' along the way. They were known as ‘’ Alcàsser's girls ’’. Television did an intensive journalistic treatment in Alcàsser, positioning itself at the top of the media of the time, above radio and the written media. The birth of private channels in 1990, the fight for mass audiences and with it, the increase in advertising revenues, led the televisions of our country to treat one of the most well-known crimes nationally in the crudest way. This report aims to analyze the journalistic treatment given, especially, by three television programs from three different networks: Who knows where (TVE), From You to You (Antena3) and Tonight We Cross the Mississippi (Telecinco). We will observe how such a tragic and sad event was practically turned into a reality show and how the sensationalism began on television, drawing much more attention on the receiver than any other medium. On rare occasions, the program ‘’ El jui del cas Alcàsser ’’, on channel 9, will also be discussed, which closely followed the trial. I wanted to reflect in the results, the continuous use of yellowing and journalistic methods that do not fit with its code of ethics, extolling the most intimate and sentimental content to get the public to empathize with the story and thus, not be able to detach them from television . Both Nieves Herrero, presenter of De tú a tú, and Pepe Navarro, presenter of the Mississippi, are a clear example that crossing the red line of yellow journalism can be very expensive.
