The dismissal of two journalists of a television channel that belongs to the editorial 'The Trade', the most important of Peru has created an atmosphere of consternation in newsrooms of many Peruvian media. On Wednesday dismissed Patricia Montero, general producer of Channel N (cable news channel) and Jose Jara, producer of the newscast 'From 6 to 9' of the same medium.
"In the last 3 or 4 weeks, journalists from both channels suffer the pressure from owners of the Group. There is no written directive, but there have been hints and pressures to take an editorial line to support Keiko Fujimori, "said Patricia Montero from Lima to Elmundo.es.
"We pushed for anti-Humala and give no information about that candidate. We were accused of humanizing Humala and thus have contributed to his victory in the first round, "says Montero, and mentions that this pressure came from board members of the media as Martha Meier Miró Quesada and Luis Miró Quesada, etc. . According
Montero, the board wants to control the two channels belonging to El Comercio (América TV, Canal N) to follow the same editorial line of newspapers owned (El Comercio, Peru 21 and the Trome) that is " obviously in favor of Keiko Fujimori. "
"We came doing journalism. Took out the proposals of both candidates, good and bad, "says Montero, and highlights the paradox of what is happening. "Canal N was a way emblematic of the struggle against the dictatorship of Fujimori in the 90s. I was there, was the founder of that channel. We pass the 'vladivideo' that Congressman Alberto Kouri was receiving money from Montesinos. That was the thread of the skein that led to the downfall of Fujimori. "
To describe the day to day living journalists in Canal N, Montero mind that whenever Humala interviewing a candidate or his party to Congress "called us immediately by phone to not give so much airtime. When we interviewed someone Fujimori never called us. " He concludes, "want to have control of both channels in order to ensure that Humala does not win."
Montero says he is not pro Humala and instead she has doubts about the government plan Peruvian candidate, potential nationalization of private companies and restrictions on press freedom in an Obama administration, his own. However, the owners of El Comercio "feel safer with Keiko, despite its liabilities and the fact that around the same as they were with their father in the 90s," he says.
Another journalist who has been harassed by members of the board, according to Montero, is Laura Puerta, who was the manager of the newspaper two TV channels from El Comercio (América TV, Canal N). "There were two meetings of the board to remove Laura from office. The latest was on Tuesday, but left the decision until after the second round. By the time you have taken the direction of Canal N and only been left in charge of America. "
layoffs are in addition to the resignations of at least four journalists from Peru 21, also owned by Grupo El Comercio. "The apparent reason for these resignations is unwilling, or unable, to follow the newspaper's editorial line, to be frank, indicate, not to attack Ollanta Humala in their news stories, "says the electronic medium politicaperuana.com.
