Abstract
In this essay, ideas and reflections on the problem of income inequality and its relationship with the news are exposed. The general state of the art is described: the relationship of the media, especially the digital news media, with economic inequality and the many aspects related to it. Perspectives on the subject or related ones, such as social classes, are provided. There is also a discussion about the ownership of the media or the multiple variables that unevenly influence how we access, or avoid, the news. Information equity is on the horizon. Any interested person should be guaranteed reasonable access to quality news to form their own opinion and, therefore, be able to decide on any aspect of society. This is what makes democracies strong.
Resumen
En este ensayo se exponen ideas y reflexiones sobre el problema de la desigualdad de ingresos y su relación con las noticias. Se describe un estado general de la cuestión: la relación de los medios de comunicación, especialmente los medios informativos digitales, con la desigualdad económica, y los muchos aspectos relacionados con ella. Se aportan perspectivas sobre el tema o relacionadas, como las clases sociales. También se discute sobre la propiedad de los medios o las múltiples variables que influyen desigualmente en cómo accedemos, o esquivamos, las noticias. La equidad informativa está en el horizonte. Cualquier persona interesada debería tener garantizado un acceso razonable a noticias de calidad para forjarse su propia opinión y, por tanto, poder decidir en cualquier aspecto de la sociedad. Esto es lo que hace fuertes a las democracias.
