The article analyzes the role of Chilean political-economic journalism during the crisis of trust in 2015 when cases of corruption emerged, affecting important corporate groups and politicians. By analyzing the implementation of different professional roles in a multiplatform context, traits of a dynamic hybrid media system were found in the relationship between the journalistic profession and power.
