Due to the current circumstances, journalists are currently facing, 2020 is a very different year. This year, some have questioned freedom of speech and the role of discordant voices that do not agree with the government.
For the last 104 years, EL UNIVERSAL has promoted plurality by welcoming journalists from other newspapers to write about freedom of speech, undercover censorship , and self-censorship.
Nevertheless, censorship is not an issue exclusive to Mexico, it is a concern among journalists all over the world. In France, for example, criticism against religion sparked a violent attack at the Charlie Hebdo offices because fundamentalist groups considered the cartoons mocked their religious beliefs. The attack was an attempt to impose only one point of view and silence different opinions.
Recommended: Credibility in the time of fake news
Since the press first appeared, the media has had the duty to inform society and exercise criticism . This newspaper has never wanted to become a troupe or supporter for the government, even when some argue EL UNIVERSAL did not criticize previous administrations.
There is no editorial policy, it is true, but authorities have made accusations that aim to stigmatize those who don’t agree with the decisions made by the powerful elite. At EL UNIVERSAL, the editorial policy is that there is no policy: we welcome a wide range of opinions. The print version and the digital version welcome antagonistic opinions, where it becomes clear that there is not an absolute truth and that fake news are a serious risk for readers.
EL UNIVERSAL does not publish scandalous news just to attract readers or gain clicks, it publishes verified information that aims to prioritize investigative journalism over everyday information; however, we must keep in mind that everyday news sets the stage for the national debate. Therefore, we can proudly say that with 104 years of experience, this media outlet is reliable, credible, and balanced.
Years ago, selling over 100,000 copies every day was deemed a great success, but now, technology allows us to reach millions of readers every day. Moreover, the newspaper ’s digital version can be read all over the world. This is a great commitment and adventure between EL UNIVERSAL and its readers, 104 after its creation.
