Preferential treatment of government sources Critical Discourse Analysis about Venezuelan migration in El Comercio and El Universo newspapers

Abstract

In the diffused news by the newspapers El Comercio and El Universo, about the venezuelan migration in Ecuador, the government's story had a privileged access. The Critical Discourse Analysis shows how these media were identified with the political power perspective, which decreed several actions that were denounced as discriminatory against these citizens. Through hierarchy, inclusion and omissions, among other usual resources in informative writing, migrants were shown as problematic subjects of reception and victims at the same time.
