Abstract

Research work of the denotative and connotative features of the photographs about the general strike on September 29th 2010 in the newspapers La Vanguardia, El País, El Mundo, Abc and La Razón.

The main differences between the newspapers are focussed on the number of published photos, the omission of scenes and types of prominent figures and the gestures that the protagonist show
