Summary:In the present article, the author will base the existence of the ombudsman on the right to information inherent to every citizen. Far from being a simply theoretical matter, the acknowledgement of this right obliges managers as well as journalists to stop feeling as if they were masters and owners of information and to consider media users from a point a view beyond that of the strictly commercial. En el presente artículo, el autor fundamenta la existencia del defensor del lector en el derecho a la información que asiste a todos los ciudadanos. Lejos de tratarse de una cuestión simplemente teórica, el reconocimiento de este derecho obliga a directivos y periodistas a dejar de sentirse dueños y amos de la información y a considerar a los usuarios de los medios desde una óptica que vaya más allá de la estrictamente comercial.
