Abstract

MUNOZ VILA, Cecilia et al. Journalism, demobilization and reinsertion. Diversitas [online]. 2008, vol.4, n.2, pp. 375-399. ISSN 1794-9998.

In this article, the authors bring up the way in which the phenomena of demobilisation and demobilised people, reinsertion and reinserted people were observed by the Sunday written press (El Tiempo and El Espectador) and magazines (Cambio and Semana), including the legal framework that regulated them and the problems that the victims of the armed conflict had to go through during 2004 and 2005. They describe in detail the sub-topics that the written press highlights in these three great topics. From the way and style of the media to build different interpretative frameworks for these phenomena in their features, reports and opinion articles, the authors define the different "dimensionality of the mental state" and the "informative dimensionality" that characterise the people who speak in the written press about these phenomena. The features contain factual information either superficial or in detail; the reports highlight the demanding and threatening voices of the culprits and the achievements and praises of the authorities; last, the opinion articles are characterised by criticism, fear and doubts about the reality defined as important by the media. Finally, the authors make a brief reference to the "copying-repeating" mentality and the "accommodative-chameleon-like" mentality of the newspapers and the "reflective" mentality of the columnists.

Keywords : Written press; Demovilization; Reinserted; Informative dimensionality.
