Abstract

Firstly, we present a model of discourse analysis that it puts communication in the center. Inspired by Habermas’ Formal Pragmatics, language transcends the linguistic framework to be studied from the social, subjective and objective point of view. Secondly, we apply this methodology model on a content analysis of Africa’s news in www.elmundo.es and www.elpais.com. We check what allows a more qualitative approach to its media treatment. By placing news in an act of communication between journalists and readers, it opens the possibility to track the attitude and the interests of journalist, and let infer what kind of communication is to be established and its implications.
