La nación en la prensa durante la Transición española: la posición de Catalunya y Euskadi

Abstract

El artículo estudia los discursos periodísticos sobre el encaje catalán y vasco que proyectaban los diarios ABC, El País, La Vanguardia, Avui, El Correo y Deia en un período que va desde noviembre de 1975 hasta octubre de 1979. A través del enfoque multidisciplinar que permite el análisis crítico del discurso (ACD), se ha constatado que los rotativos no hacían una explicación exhaustiva de la posibilidad de ejercer el derecho a la autodeterminación. En ocasiones, se ofrecía información sesgada y falacias que legitimaban y perpetuaban ideas y opiniones alineadas a ideologías de formaciones políticas con las que se sentían próximos.The nation in the press during the Spanish Transition: the position of Catalonia and the Basque CountryAbstractThis study explores the ways in which the political position of Catalonia and the Basque Country inside Spain was represented in the ABC, El País, La Vanguardia, Avui, El Correo and Deia newspapers between November 1975 and October 1979. We adopt a multidisciplinary approach of critical discourse analysis (CDA). We found that the press often fails to present the aspiration for self-determination of Catalonia and the Basque Country in a thorough, balanced way. On occasions we find that the information is incomplete or biased; the papers make gratuitous or fallacious statements to legitimise and perpetuate the positions of the political parties closest to them in terms of ideology.Keywords: CDA, nationalism, Spain, self-determination, political journalism

Widening the North/South Divide? Representations of the role of the EU during the Covid-19 crisis in Spanish media

“…The political role of the mass media in shaping public attitudes and collective identities (Perales 2014) and in increasing or downplaying conflictual views (Berger and Luckmann 1968) has been widely observed in the current Covid-19 crisis, with increasing interest in credible information (Casero-Ripollés 2020, 10). The role of the media in creating a European Public Sphere (EPS) has been also acknowledged by previous studies, which have not only focused on media responses to different crises within Europe (Strath and Wodak 2009), but also to diachronic variation in the national and supranational construction(s) of the European identity by the media (Krzyżanowski, Triandafyllidou and Wodak 2009).…”
