| description | In the current democratic societies, the media, known as “the fourth power” and that are generally incharge of the local elites, have achieved a crucial role in the naturalization of discourses in the communityhaving the capacity to even influence the public opinion in political, social, religious and economicareas, among others. Being the problem of study the influence that the expression of a certain type ofdiscourse has over its receivers, the goal of this article is to reflect about the link between the discourse,the public opinion and the press epistemology regarding the immigration in Chile during COVID-19times. The results from the examination of eleven newspapers employing a Critical Discourse Analysisapproach inform us that, on the one side, the actors such as authorities are nominalized, whereas the foreigners are assimilated in a group or invisibilized altogether. On the other hand, the themes that emergefrom the data analysis are poverty, vulnerability and discrimination. This study aims at problematizingthe discourses that come from the press from a critical perspective in order to contribute to the dialogicalconstruction of the other from an objective point of view away from preconceived and stigmatized viewsspread by the media.

En las sociedades democráticas actuales, los medios de prensa, conocidos como “el cuarto poder” y quegeneralmente están a cargo de las elites locales, han adquirido un rol fundamental en la naturalizaciónde discursos en la comunidad ejerciendo la fuerza de incluso influenciar a la opinión pública en temaspolíticos, sociales, religiosos y económicos, entre otros. Siendo el problema de estudio la influenciaque la emisión de cierto tipo de discurso tiene sobre el receptor de este, el objetivo de este artículo esreflexionar acerca del vínculo existente entre el discurso, la opinión pública y epistemología de la prensaescrita en torno a la migración en tiempos de COVID-19 en Chile. Los resultados de la observación deonce diarios por medio del Análisis Crítico del Discurso arrojan que, por un lado, los actores tales comoautoridades son nominalizados, mientras que los extranjeros son asimilados a un grupo o invisibilizadoscompletamente. Por otro lado, los temas que emergen del análisis son la pobreza, la vulnerabilidad y ladiscriminación. Este estudio apunta a problematizar los discursos que provienen de los medios escritosdesde una perspectiva crítica y a contribuir a una construcción dialógica del otro de forma objetiva alejadade visiones preconcebidas y estigmatizadoras difundidas por los medios de comunicación.
