NARVAEZ MONTOYA, Ancízar  and  ROMERO PENA, Ana Carmenza. The Nation in Colombian Television Newscasts: 1960 versus 2015. From the Fictitious Offender to the Omnipresent Enemy. Folios [online]. 2017, n.46, pp.55-65. ISSN 0123-4870.

This paper is an advance of the research project entitled Media education and nation in Colombia-narration and "audiovisual" institutionalization. The purpose of the research is to distinguish between how the nation is narrated in the Colombian television newscasts of the 60's (Actualidad panamericana) and how it is narrated in current newscasts (Noticias RCN). For that purpose, the authors analyze the media narrative of the nation in television news broadcasted both during the sixties and recently, according to four aspects included in the code theory, namely: expressive substance, expressive forms, content forms, and content substances. The paper only deals with the latter. Authors compare the ways to represent-mostly what is represented as nation-, in television newscasts at two different moments in time, more than fifty years apart.

Keywords : mediation; media coverage; media culture; media education; television narrative.
