This article aims to present, based on the analysis of judicial rulings, the constant tension between the right to freedom of expression defended by the mass media and the right to honor, the reputation of public persons. To this end, it is proposed to identify the constituent elements of those rights in certain specific judgments, in order to determine conceptual categories of analysis.
The description of these constituent elements will allow to establish the legal framework in which the issuers of information through the mass media and legal specialists can develop for their analysis and legal categorization, especially bearing in mind that the right to social information is linked to different regulations, with different legal effects and the different jurisdictions involved in the determination of responsibilities emerging from the dissemination of information. In this way, the judgments constitute the legal tools that allow to describe the concepts and dimensions that make up each of the mentioned rights.
Consequently, this work is carried out from the analysis of certain judicial judgments, specifically selected because it establishes in a concrete and detailed way the different constituent elements of both rights with their pertinent anchorage in the communicational reality of reference and in the corresponding regulations, both national and international.
