Representaciones de la prensa escrita latinoamericana sobre la invasion rusa a Ucrania en 2022

Abstract

The way in which public opinion represents a war conflct is never neutral and, therefore, is given by the journalistic handling of such a problematic situation by the social media, always conditioned by the interests of its political agenda, so that the written press is also one of the privileged theaters of operations where the war conflct between the Russian Federation and Ukraine takes place. The objective of the research was to analyze the representations, this is (what is said, when it is said and how it is said) that certain Latin American written press of wide dissemination makes about the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Methodologically, dialectical hermeneutics and critical analysis of political discourse were used to describe the scope and meaning of the journalistic narrative on this conflct that acquires unpredictable consequences for the current world order. It is concluded that the war conflct between the aforementioned countries occupies a prominent place in the international politics section of the Latin American press. In general, support for Ukraine’s resistance and Russia’s condemnation of Russia as dangerous to the security of Europe and the Western world prevail in these media.
