LA TELEVISIÓN EN LOS CONFLICTOS ESTUDIANTILES

Posted by Juan Carlos Yáñez Velazco

Logos-canales1Las comparaciones son inevitables. Pueden ser odiosas, como se afirma en la expresión tópica, pero también pueden ser ilustrativas si las inspira un propósito genuino de comprender avances propios contrastados con los de otros, en un marco de razonable exigencia.

Los hechos recientes en el Instituto Politécnico Nacional y con los estudiantes normalistas de Guerrero, inauditamente desaparecidos después de una semana, son un argumento muy fuerte para sostener que en México tenemos un largo camino por recorrer para ventilar públicamente los temas de interés colectivo en los medios más poderosos y abiertos a la ciudadanía, especialmente la televisión. Un camino que ni siquiera está trazado, pues los dubitativos pasos muestran ganas de ocultar, más que de abrir esos grandes medios a fines distintos a los de la diversión banal y engrasada por jugosas componendas comerciales y políticas.

Para ser más claro y conciso en lo que quiero decir voy al grano. Durante los meses que pasé en Argentina a lo largo de 2013 me tocó vivir varios episodios de movilización social en torno a asuntos educativos, en donde estaban protagónicamente implicados maestros y estudiantes. Para quienes deseen consultar las fuentes, citaré tres casos en Buenos Aires: las manifestaciones públicas y paros hechos por docentes en favor de un aumento salarial, el paro de estudiantes de colegios secundarios y la inconformidad de padres y madres de familia por el sistema de inscripciones electrónicas que dejó fuera en principio a muchos niños de los colegios públicos.

Los casos, cada uno con sus particularidades, no son el objeto, sino la participación de los medios de prensa y los canales de televisión argentina. En los periódicos, los temas ocupaban espacios extensos, lejos de la reproducción de los boletines oficiales de prensa; los segundos, los canales de TV, fueron para mí un aprendizaje inestimable. Acostumbrado a la modorra o el desdén de la televisión por los temas de la vida pública nacional, me sorprendió la cobertura que tenían en los casos citados. Los reporteros transmitían en vivo desde las ruedas de prensa, en las marchas, en los sitios donde se manifestaban los inconformes, y se daba voz a los distintos personajes, a los maestros, a los estudiantes, a las madres, no solo a las autoridades; se juzgaba, sí, pero las partes tenían voz. No se encapsulaban las notas en cortos de tres minutos, fragmentarios y superficiales, como es usual en los noticieros mexicanos más vistos.

Además de los espacios en los noticieros, las cadenas televisivas, las privadas del poderoso Grupo Clarín y las públicas del gobierno nacional, o de otras organizaciones, tienen sus programas de análisis político en horarios estelares y no hasta la media noche, con participación de expertos e implicados. Un ejercicio en las pantallas lo más cercano a una escuela para la democracia mediante la formación de una ciudadanía informada, inteligente, deliberante. Es otra cultura política, otro nivel de politización, es verdad. Y tampoco es la perfección, pues junto a sus programas diarios de análisis político hay muchísimos segmentos para la farándula y el fútbol, pero en todo caso esa diversidad no la conocemos en México.

Los hechos que ahora ocurren en México, en el Politécnico y en Guerrero, me hicieron inevitable la comparación entre las coberturas mediáticas de acontecimientos de esa naturaleza allá y acá; me hacen ponderar y admirar lo positivo que puede haber en estos lares, y lo que nos falta para acercarnos a lo que hay por aquellos pagos, lo que tenemos como televisión y sus compromisos disímiles con la vida pública y con la construcción de una auténtica democracia.
