description Police violence is a problem scarcely addressed by the Argentine reference media and, frequently, by communication studies in the country. This article aims to analyze the ways in which a sector of the Argentine hegemonic press produces news about the subject, placing special emphasis on the meanings built on the victim-victimizer pair. From a qualitative approach based on content analysis, e a group of news regarding violent police interventions between 2020 and 2021 is analyzed. Two types of frames present in the information are found:  "insecurity" and "victims in focus". Both frameworks allow observing how a logic of differential victimization or selectivity of the victims operates discursively, because of particular modes of construction and interpretation of the facts in the media, as well as trace possible effects of the sense of legitimation or discursive delegitimization of the violent actions of the Police.

La violencia policial es una problemática escasamente abordada por los medios de comunicación de referencia argentinos y, asimismo, por los estudios en comunicación en el país. El presente artículo tiene por objetivo analizar los modos en que un sector de la prensa hegemónica argentina produce noticias acerca del tema, poniendo especial énfasis en los sentidos construidos sobre el par víctima-victimario. Desde un enfoque cualitativo, sustentado en el análisis de contenido, indagamos en un conjunto de noticias sobre intervenciones policiales violentas en el período 2020-2021. Hallamos dos tipos de encuadres presentes en la información, que denominamos de la “inseguridad” y de las “víctimas en foco”. Ambos marcos nos permiten observar cómo opera discursivamente una lógica de victimización diferencial o selectividad de las víctimas, producto de modos particulares de construcción e interpretación de los hechos en la prensa, y rastrear posibles efectos de sentido de legitimación o deslegitimación discursiva del accionar violento de la Policía. Abstract Police violence is a problem scarcely addressed by the Argentine reference media and, frequently, by communication studies in the country. This article aims to analyze the ways in which a sector of the Argentine hegemonic press produces news about the subject, placing special emphasis on the meanings built on the victim-victimizer pair. From a qualitative approach based on content analysis, e a group of news regarding violent police interventions between 2020 and 2021 is analyzed.

A violência policial é um problema pouco abordado pela mídia de referência argentina e, frequentemente, pelos estudos de comunicação no país. Este artigo tem como objetivo estudar as formas como um setor da imprensa hegemônica argentina produz notícias sobre o assunto, dando especial ênfase às representações construídas sobre a dupla vítima-autor. A partir de uma abordagem qualitativa baseada na análise de conteúdo, investigamos um conjunto de notícias com intervenções policiais violentas e encontramos dois tipos de enquadramentos presentes nas informações que denominamos “insegurança” e “vítimas em foco”. Ambos os enquadramentos permitem observar como opera discursivamente uma lógica de vitimização diferencial ou de seletividade das vítimas, fruto de modos particulares de construção e interpretação dos fatos na mídia, e traçar possíveis efeitos do sentido de legitimação ou deslegitimação discursiva das ações violentas da Polícia.
