Editorials represent a newspaper's principal means of ideological positioning and serve to identify the attitude of each newspaper and its readership to some of the main actors in any given conflict, especially those that are political in nature. Catalonia's independence movement has experienced a surge in recent years. The turning point came in July 2010, after Spain's constitutional court ruled against some aspects of Catalonia's Statute of Autonomy (the legislation regulating the relationship between the Catalan autonomous community and the Spanish state). The ruling annulled some of the articles of the statute. The demonstration in support of Catalan independence that took place on September 11, 2012, was considered the most important among several mass rallies held for this purpose over successive years on Catalonia's National Day. This article presents the results of a qualitative and quantitative analysis of editorial articles published around these two key dates, with the goal of studying each newspaper's treatment of political actors and their degree of identification with these actors. Their use of arguments aimed at persuading readers and legitimizing a given position during the specified time periods in 2010 and 2012 will also be studied. The study focuses on the editorial articles published by several newspapers in four distinct regional contexts: Catalonia, Valencia, the Basque Country, as well as the whole of Spain. The analyzed articles were published a few days before and after July 10, 2010, and September 11, 2012.

Comunicació presentada al VII Congreso Internacional de la Asociación Española de Investigación de la Comunicación (AE-IC), celebrat del 28 al 30 d'octubre de 2020 a València, Espanya. ; Si hubiera que precisar el origen de lo que actualmente se conoce como "el Procés" de independencia de Catalunya probablemente coincidiríamos en localizarlo en julio de 2010, cuando se hizo pública la sentencia del Tribunal Constitucional en contra del Estatut. El 10 de julio de 2010 tuvo lugar en Barcelona una manifestación multitudinaria en contra de esa sentencia que significaba unos recortes importantes sobre el texto inicial que el pueblo catalán había refrendado. A partir de ese momento, la desafección de buena parte de los catalanes fue en aumento y se hizo manifiesta en las concentraciones masivas durante los siguientes 11 de septiembre, la Diada de Catalunya. Especialmente a partir de la Diada de 2012 y hasta la de 2019 las manifestaciones contaron con numerosos asistentes. Entre estos períodos Catalunya ha vivido momentos políticos del "Procés" muy significativos, especialmente la consulta del 9 de noviembre de 2014 y el referéndum del 1 de octubre de 2017 que comportó las consecuencias de prisión y exilio de los políticos catalanes que todos conocemos. Durante este tiempo hemos analizado la opinión de distintos diarios de difusión general editados en Catalunya y Madrid. Hemos estudiado los editoriales para establecer la línea editorial de estos medios. Los periodos que forman parte del estudio son los relativos a la manifestación del 10 de julio de 2010; la Diada de 2012 y la campaña electoral de las elecciones al Parlament de Catalunya de 21 de diciembre de 2017. ; If the origin of what is currently known as the "Procés" of independence of Catalonia had to be specified, we would probably coincide in locating it in July 2010, when the ruling of the Constitutional Court against the Statute was made public. On 10 July 2010, a massive demonstration took place in Barcelona against that ruling, which meant some important cuts to the initial text that the Catalan people had endorsed. From that moment on, the disaffection of a good fraction of the Catalans was on the increase and was manifested in massive concentrations on the following 11 September, the Diada de Catalunya (National Day of Catalonia). Especially from the Diada of 2012 and until 2019, these demonstrations attracted many participants. Between these periods, Catalonia has experienced very significant political moments of the "Procés," especially the consultation of 9 November 2014 and the referendum of 1 October 2017, which led to the imprisonment and exile of Catalan politicians as is well known. We analyze the opinion of different newspapers of general distribution published in Catalunya and Madrid during this period and study the editorials to establish the editorial line of these media. The periods that form part of the study are those related to the demonstration of 10 July 2010, the Diada of 2012, and the campaign for the elections to the Parliament of Catalonia of 12 December 2017.
