RESEARCH QUESTION

What factors influence the way journalists or newspapers frame the student movement during the Mexican authoritarian regimen?

And how do these processes work and, as a result, what are the frames that journalists use?

HYPOTHESIS

The newspaper coverage of the student movement of 1971 was constrained by some common frames. These frames delegitimize the student movement and, also, support the authoritarian regime.

These frames were presences in the environment, but the journalistic routines accentuated its presence.
