Description

The objective of this project is to understand the type of representation of "politics" as the subject and "citizen" as a subject in TV that aim to represent reality. In the context of increasing sensationalism and trivialization of the "public realm" in television, both public and private, and at different levels -national and regional-, this research project proposes to trace spaces of political deliberation in television through the analysis of different genres to articulate the different ways through which each TV channel has certain representations of politics and public policy issues.

This research project includes methodological inheritance from studies generated by the UNICA research group in previous research projects, in order to give a more accurate and representative view of the types of political and public representations of our immediate context made by television stations.
