<p>The work of the media is intimately linked with some fundamental rights such as freedom of expression, the right to information and the right to communication. However, in some cases and in developing their function, they may cause harm to individuals, either by massifying information in a wrong way, deficient, inopportune, distorted, or violating a fundamental right.
