Illegitimate interference with the right to one’s own image and investigative journalism: the use of hidden cameras in television reporting.

Abstract

The use of the hidden camera as a tool of investigative journalism is a reality present in different television formats and causes a series of disputes related to the violation of fundamental rights, in particular the right to one’s own image. This work presents a critical analysis of the constitutional doctrine on freedom of information reflected in STC 25/2019, with regard to its impact on the jurisprudence on civil liability for illegitimate interference with the right to one’s own image and reflects on the future of its protection in this area.
