| Sumario: | The Argentine Legislative Power passed Law No. 26522 on Audiovisual Communication Services (LACS)on October 10, 2009. It called into question the historical relationship among the political, socio-culturaland economic objectives that guided the regulation and represented a new notion of ‘public interest’. Theprocess of debate and approval of the Law occupied a significant space on the media agenda, although itwas defined from particular frames that formulated diagnoses, evaluations and prescriptions. Analyzingthe journalistic treatment of this matter is important because it involved the interests of the field where themedia themselves take part. In addition, they are considered publicly prominent co-constructors of socialreality, so they collaborated with the production of narratives about the debate around the Law. This workstudies the news frames of the LACS in the Argentine economic press, observes the evolution of theseframes throughout the debate and approval of the Law and compares how the newspapers defined the aspectsunder discussion. The quantitative content analysis identified three frames in tension: ‘political andinstitutional dispute’, ‘sociocultural public interest’ and ‘business public interest’, which behavior variedaccording to the newspaper and registered fluctuations throughout the period under study. |
