Abstract

Can we inform of science in an objective way? Some professional sectors sustain that the objectivity doesn’t exist and that it is not even desirable. But that idea appears as absurd in the mark of the scientific information. The problem of the journalistic objectivity coincides with an old very present dilemma in the philosophy of the science: how to know the reality and how to approach to the truth. The author bets for an adaptation of the critical realism of Popper in front of the subjetivismo. The formula: observation more experimentation. The model: a journalism based on the scientific evidence.
