The agenda and framing of water problems in Mexico City in the press from 2019 to 2022

In: Anuari del conflicte social, Heft 13

Abstract

The aim of this work was to establish the press framing networks surrounding water problems in Mexico City. A documentary study was carried out with press releases related to scarcity, shortages, unsanitary conditions and famine during the period from 2012 to 2022. The results show a discreet framing of the press, although the structure of such framing suggests the representation of the problem as one of shortage and its solution as the increase in tariffs, suggesting the need to extend our research to other scenarios and samples of coverage by the printed media.
