Representations of Venezuelan migrants in Colombian border newspapers
Abstract
This research describes the media representations that are built on Venezuelan migrants in two Colombian border regional newspapers: La Opinion, from Norte de Santander, and La Guajira , in the department that bears the same name. Migration Colombia announces in its studies that in 2017, one of the years of greatest exodus of Venezuelans to Colombia, 37 thousand daily entries of Venezuelan citizens to the country were reported. The border crossings in which high incomes of documented and undocumented persons are registered, are those located in the mentioned departments. Therefore, it is important to ask, from the Theory of Social Representations, and particularly from the Theory of Social Production of Communication, how from the journalistic frontier stories the image of migrants is constructed.
