摘要：The practice of journalism in television doesn’t respect ethical standards of professional exigency. The selection of hard and soft news made by channels indicates that TVs of public ownership are more exigent that privately owned ones in their exercise, because news related to politics and economy have primacy in the newscasts. However, the analysis of the treatment shows the opposite: public channels are more relaxed in the fulfilment of ethical principles. Results reveal that sensationalism and not to distinguish information and opinion are the most common mistakes. A total of 1,928 news items integrating evening newscasts of the six most widely watched TV channels in the Basque Country have been examined: La 1, Telecinco, Antena 3, laSexta, Cuatro and ETB2.
