Euronews, visiones de Europa en los años Noventa (original) (raw)

2020

Entre 1990 y 1991, durante la Primera guerra del Golfo, la cobertura exclusiva del conflicto por parte de la cadena estadounidense CNN puso de manifiesto la hegemonia cultural de Washington tambien bajo el perfil mediatico, y por ende el retraso europeo en el mismo dominio. Para contrarrestar este fenomeno, se formo un consorcio que reunia a numerosas cadenas nacionales del Viejo continente, que en el mes de enero de 1993 dieron vida a Euronews, el primer canal de television europeo. La nueva emisora se presento como una de las principales politicas culturales impulsadas para crear una opinion publica a nivel continental. Mas alla de constituir solamente un simple capitulo en la historia de los medios de comunicacion, el estudio de la genesis y de los comienzos de Euronews puede aportar nuevos elementos a la hora de trazar la historia del accidentado proceso de formacion de un sentido de pertenencia europeo.
