Journalistic narratives and youth citizenship. Analysis of newpapers in Aguascalientes, Mexico
Abstract
A stereotyped representation of young people prevails in journalistic narratives, which does not account the diversity of this population. This is a problem because it influences public opinion and policies. Therefore, the purpose of this text is to show how young people are represented and who has a voice on youth in the press of Aguascalientes, Mexico. The analysis focused on identifying the dimensions of citizenship: civil, political, social, economic and cultural through the method of descriptive content analysis. The findings show that mainly social citizenship is referenced and other dimensions are scarcely mentioned, which infers a scarce recognition and comprehensive understanding of the citizenship of young people. In addition, although the value of new generations is highlighted, the press does not give them voice to raise their perspective on their own problems and those of public interest.
