Abstract

This work aims to address the construction of agendas and news about the pandemic in the national graphic press, more specifically, in the case of La Nación newspaper. Using a qualitative methodological approach, this work reflects on the nuanced meanings embodied in the images of reality and representations of the pandemic constructed by editorials and opinion pieces published on that morning paper and, thus, give an account of the way in which readers of this morning paper are informed about them. One of the main results of this work is the exposure of the paper´s shift in their representation they built around the quarantine. Initially represented in a positive light, it was eventually associated with a governmental instrument devised to tread on individuals and their freedom.
