OVIEDO BOTERO, Silvia Constanza. «POVERTY»: MASS MEDIA FICTION, COMMUNITY REALITY. Forma funcion, Santaf, de Bogot, D.C. [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.2, pp.203-244. ISSN 0120-338X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/fyf.v29n2.60196.

This paper intends to discuss the representation of poverty as a social phenomenon from the perspective of mass media. For this purpose, some press articles from El Espectador, published between the end of 2013 and the beginning of 2014, are analyzed where the term poverty was used with several meanings that shape public policies and ways of life affecting sectors embodied by this term. Discursive strategies were classified and identified in the press articles. Then, the information presented in the press articles was contrasted with the country's reality. These concepts were then reviewed within a theoretical framework that deals with poverty, discursive strategies, linguistic representations, communication theories and digital newspapers. Once the theoretical framework was established, it was possible to relate to one another the diverse forms of intentionality underlying the strategies used. This helped to observe how poverty becomes a social phenomenon entrenched between fiction and reality
