    El periodismo ha representado el mundo con un “lente distorsionado” enfocándose en los problemas, en lugar de priorizar una perspectiva equilibrada que incluya las soluciones. Como respuesta, se desarrolló el periodismo constructivo, el cual ha sido implementado por periodistas y medios de comunicación. Este trabajo analiza cómo ha cambiado la mente y las rutinas de los profesionales después de transitar de una perspectiva tradicional a una constructiva, donde los valores periodísticos se han fortalecido.

    Journalism has portrayed the world with a “distorted lens,” focusing on problems rather than prioritizing a balanced perspective that includes solutions. Constructive journalism developed in response to this situation, and journalists and the media have implemented it. This paper analyses how the minds and routines of professionals have changed after moving from a traditional perspective to a constructive one, where journalistic values have been strengthened.
