El derecho al honor y buen nombre en el delito de calumnia ocasionado por medios de comunicación

Freedom of expression is a universal right stated by the Organic Law of Communication, and the media are a clear example of this. Their purpose is to inform the population about various events. However, there are cases when the media, through their headlines, declare guilt to a person without prior investigation violating fundamental rights such as the right to honor and a good name, enshrined in Article 66 of the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador. When one of these rights is violated, it is considered slander, this is sanctioned as indicated in Article 182 of the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code (COIP). Based on this, the present work aims to conduct a critical analysis aimed to determine whether the right to honor and a good name in the crime of defamation is violated by the media. As a result, it has been observed that recently, cases of this crime have decreased, as the media cannot evade criminal responsibility. Therefore, the main objective of this article is to develop a critical analysis of the right to honor and a good name in the crime of defamation caused by the media, in the province of Tungurahua in 2023. The research method employed was interviews, where a set of open-ended questions provided relevant information on the subject, revealing that the media does indeed have an effect on the right to honor and a good name.
