Construcción del discurso periodístico sobre la aprobación del matrimonio igualitario en los diarios El Universo y El Comercio. (marzo - julio 2019).

Abstract

This investigation analizes the journalistic discourse used by El Universo and El Comercio newspaper in reference to the approval of equal marriage in Ecuador from march to july 2019. It is anchored in the theoric and methodological precepts of discourse analisys, especially from Van Dijk´s (2003) contributions regarding the understanding of the discourse as fundamental dimension in the sociocultural phenomena. The study is an approach to how the analized media contributed to the representation and fabrication of the reality of its readers, creating or delegitimizing prejudices. This works reveals the treatment given to the topic of equal marriage through the examination of the dimensions such as the features of the journalistic discourse in the sample that was analized, the schemes and semantic-discourse strategies that replicate ideologies, among other aspects.
