Los medios locales, en el contexto del COVID-19, tienen una representación social relevante, porque, a más de generar información para comprender los efectos de la pandemia, se convierten en vigilantes de la acción gubernamental y de las estrategias que el Estado instauró con el decreto de confinamiento obligatorio para frenar contagios y expansión del virus en territorio ecuatoriano.
The Covid-19 pandemic caused different governments to implement confinement measures and put in place information strategies aimed at their citizens to mitigate the sycosis. [...]those who have media communication must ensure the circulation of information in a responsible manner, which contributes to democracy and favoring a improve the state of animic of society. In addition to being a historic opportunity for local media to recover audiences and strengthen themselves as media for proximity. The information management of local media produced exponential growth on Facebook, as measured by engagement (I like, comments and shares).
