This paper analyzes the information treatment of the Mapuche people in the newspaper El Mercurio during two periods. First, between 1950 and 1973 (twentieth century); and second, during the years 2010, 2013 and 2014, (21st century). To this end, a corpus of 340 journalistic texts has been selected, of which 147 correspond to the 20th century (1950-1970) and 193, to the 21st century (2010, 2013-2014). The analysis shows that most of the frames are linked to conflicts, criminal prosecutions and arson attacks; so that El Mercurio prioritizes connotations and negative events to inform about the Mapuche indigenous people.

Por ello, mediante un estudio cuantitativo, a través de la teoría del framing, se buscó analizar la presencia de la mujer como agente noticioso en medios de comunicación escritos chilenos. Para ello, se llevó a cabo la selección de medios de prensa escritos y se analizaron 236 publicaciones. Los hallazgos obtenidos muestran a la mujer como agente noticioso, vinculada principalmente a materias de trabajo y educación, y que es escasamente representada en tópicos económicos o en espacios públicos. Por tanto, se sugiere que los medios de comunicación escritos puedan contribuir sistemáticamente a visibilizar la presencia de las mujeres en roles no estereotipa...
