DEMONTE, Flavia. Food as a News Media Issue: An Analysis of the Argentinian Graphic Press Editorials, 2002-2008. Signo pensam. [online]. 2013, vol.32, n.62, pp.82-97. ISSN 0120-4823.

In recent years Argentina has been debating in different areas the food and productive matrix, and its main consequences. The aim of this article is to analyze the construction of the food problem as a public issue after the crisis of 2001-2008, by identifying and analyzing the representations associated with it in the graphic press. To this end, we selected two national print media and analyzed their editorials, appealing to the methodology of discourse analysis. The purpose was to analyze these debates in the media field, which is considered as a key player of the public space and a place where topics and problems are constructed. In addition we assume media as a space for diverse social representations, from which the positioning of the food matrix as an issue, its consequences, the actors involved, the role of the state and public policies are disputed.

Keywords : Feeding; Social Representations; Discourses; Media; Graphic Press; Food; means of communication; Graphic Press; Discourse Analysis.
