The representation of unaccompanied foreign minors in the Spanish press: a linguistic study
Abstract
The aim of this work is to focus on the representation of unaccompanied foreign minors (UFM) in the Spanish press. Mass media play a crucial role in contemporary society due to their power to influence public opinion. The investigation sheds light on the discursive construction of information regarding this group in the most popular Spanish newspapers, El Mundo and El País, between 2018 and 2023. The study adopts the perspective of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to observe how ideologies are reproduced in the representations of this subordinate group in the press and, simultaneously, highlight the presence of a protective or alarming discourse.
