Resumen

El presente artículo de revisión tiene como objetivo analizar críticamente la ética y la responsabilidad social en la comunicación digital, considerando los desafíos contemporáneos asociados a la proliferación de plataformas digitales, redes sociales y tecnologías emergentes. Para ello, se desarrolló una revisión sistemática de la literatura siguiendo las directrices del método PRISMA 2020, mediante la identificación, selección y análisis de artículos científicos indexados en bases de datos como Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO y Google Scholar, publicados entre 2010 y 2024. El proceso permitió la inclusión de 25 estudios relevantes, organizados en categorías analíticas vinculadas a ética digital, desinformación, responsabilidad social corporativa, alfabetización mediática y regulación de la comunicación en entornos digitales. Los resultados evidencian que la comunicación digital plantea tensiones éticas significativas relacionadas con la veracidad de la información, la protección de datos personales, la manipulación algorítmica y la construcción de la opinión pública. Se destaca la necesidad de fortalecer marcos normativos, prácticas responsables y competencias éticas en comunicadores, instituciones y usuarios. Se concluye que la ética y la responsabilidad social constituyen ejes fundamentales para garantizar una comunicación digital transparente, inclusiva y orientada al bien común.
