Evictions in the Spanish press: different stories about public issues
Abstract
According to Hallin and Mancini (2004), Spain is part of a typology of media system called Polarized Pluralism. One of his main features is a close relation between media and politic system, which produces very political media. In this paper we analyze how Spanish press has informed about one of the most important items in the public sphere nowadays: evictions. We study how El País and El Mundo have informed about it between 1st October and 31st December 2012, period in which the government modified the law about evictions. It allows us to know how an issue appears in media to silent the social protests, how journals inform about it and how the issue disappears from the public sphere.Downloads
