WASHINGTON CONFERENCES OPENING BETWEEN CHILE AND PERU IN THE AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS (1922)

Abstract

The American journalistic discourses are described and analyzed during the opening of the Washington conferences held between Chile and Peru in 1922. Starting from the theoretical assumption that the press is a political actor that constructs the events that it thematizes, a content analysis was carried out on 120 news. The conclusion holds that the press represented the conferences on an epistemic, projective and political level.
