Abstract

En el contexto de la relevancia de la confianza política para la gobernabilidad democrática, se ofrece un estado del arte basado en 52 trabajos publicados en los últimos diez años en bases de datos latinoamericanas e internacionales, acerca del factor mediático implicado en ello. El documento reseña la función de la confianza para la democracia y las principales teorías que explican su variación temporal. Centrándose en la explicación específicamente mediática, se explicitan las vertientes clásicas y contemporáneas de los efectos de los medios a este respecto, así como los trabajos empíricos que las apoyan o refutan. El artículo concluye con una reseña de las principales metodologías implementadas para su estudio, así como una reflexión crítica acerca de las lagunas de conocimiento e insuficiencias encontradas en la revisión, como punto de partida para nuevas pesquisas.
