Analysis of the Scientific Discourse of Climate Change in El Mundo and El País Photography
Abstract
The objective of this research is to know the main characteristics and functions that the photojournalistic image fulfills within the digital version in El País and El Mundo, and to explore the way in which these Spanish media frame their photographs in the news on climate change. The results indicate the predominance of the personification of climate change in foreign political leaders, with US President Donald Trump as the majority presence. Agency or archive photographs are the primary source of news and there is also a relationship between them and the news text. As more technical aspects, the primacy of cold colors over warm colors and a very similar qualitative treatment in the studied newspapers could be pointed out.
