Resumen

This study analyzes the impact and performance of a socially responsible journalists’ network. The findings were obtained following their participation in a training program, managed as part of a university’s social responsibility strategy in collaboration with a business school, private companies, and a third-sector organization. Surveys were conducted with 120 journalists from various regions of Peru. The results indicate that the responsible journalism training had a positive impact on the professional practice of the participants, enabling them to apply the knowledge gained in both their personal and professional lives. Among the study’s conclusions, the role of academia, the private sector, and the third sector in organizing and managing these programs from a social responsibility perspective is emphasized, generating shared benefits and a positive impact for all involved.
