Conflicto en Siria: un análisis del cubrimiento fotográfico hecho por los portales digitales del An-Nahar, El País, Noticias ONU y The New York Times

The present investigation addressed the photojournalistic coverage of the
chemical attacks on Syria between 7 and 13 April 2018, carried out by the
media An-Nahar, The New York Times, El País and UN News, through their
digital portals. During the process, the founding theories of Agenda setting
and framing were welcomed as guiding agents in understanding the collected
material. This exercise was carried out on the basis of an observation technique that allowed to reach a descriptive research level capable of qualifying
the phenomena found, which included, for example, some similarities in the
editorial line of the media in terms of actors and ways of viewing the photographs, and differences in terms of their contextual content. This allowed for
the annulment of certain prejudices and predictions that existed thanks to the
tracing of investigative background on the chosen topic line.
