Abstract

In this article, we work some problems involving the traditional media and the human rights nowadays. Adopting a critical, historical and dialectical approach, we make an intersection between the traditional mass media and the DH in order to discuss issues on both subjects and pointing out possible alternatives. In order to carry out the study, the theories of Roland Barthes (1971), Joaquín Herrera Flores (2005) and Douglas Kellner (2001) are taken into consideration. It is important to stress that the intention of this study is not to generalize results from our bibliographical research, but to detect tendencies and discern trends based on significant data samples.
