Résumé

La actual crisis económica mundial está generando buen número de estudios sobre su cobertura periodística. Una de las ideas más recurrentes es que en los años previos a la crisis los medios de comunicación fueron incapaces de alertar sobre los riegos que existían, y que después, ya durante la crisis, tienen una visión alarmista y simplificadora de la actualidad. En este artículo se hace un repaso y se valora la investigación realizada sobre estas dos acusaciones. La principal conclusión es que no existe consenso sobre la valoración de la actuación de los medios, ni antes de la crisis, ni después.
