Dominican Republic media and political alliance criticized

Sociologist and communicator Juan Cruz Triffolio argues that a political-media endogamy is undermining truth in the Dominican Republic. He describes an increasingly visible alliance between political leaders and dominant journalists, suggesting this relationship is not professional but rather a symbiotic connection that ignores the needs and opinions of the citizenry.

Triffolio claims that certain audiovisual and radio journalists have become disconnected from social reality, instead maintaining close ties with a discredited political class. This group is accused of using their influence to protect political misconduct through silence and impunity, often operating within a social circle of media owners and politicians that prioritizes mutual favors over journalistic integrity.
