<meta name="DC.contributor.referee I" content="Review reports of article 22_2010 ‘Xenophobic discourse and agenda-setting. A case study in the press of the Canary Islands’. Media are involved in the processing of immigration. Immigration is a complex matter in which social, economical, political and legal factors intervene; hence, the interest of media. Representation and identity of immigration have been studied from different branches of communication, advertising or audiovisual communication, whereas regarding to press, the interest has been mainly focused on the construction of news stories.Information, far from being impartial, sometimes provokes certain attitudes. Concerning this case, the article studies the pressure of press on public opinion using subjective expressions that slant information. The interest of this article lies on its synchronic analysis of news pieces from the newspaper El Día, and their connection with demographic, social, political and legal changes. It is also remarkable the critical study on press. In particular on a journal that tried to control and direct public opinion. -- Dr. Esther Martínez Pastor, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid."/>
<meta name="DC.contributor.referee II" content="This article is worth being published in Revista Latina de Comunicación Social. It proves with a qualitative and quantitative analysis, the power of media to set the political agenda of society and draw political parties and political and social institutions to their ideas. Using discourse analysis on a particular case -the support given by the newspaper El Día to a demonstration call in favour of a Residence Act to find a solution to the arrival of immigrants- the author shows how the newspaper turns illegal immigration into the main issue of the agenda setting, echoing the most reactionary voices in the archipelago. Nevertheless, the conclusions of this article point out that most of the population was able to counteract the criminalization of immigrants, defying the power of a newspaper and its social, economical and political influence.-- Dr. María José Villa, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina."/>
<meta name="DC.description.abstract" content="Abstract: Since its formulation by McCombs and Shaw in the 70s, the concept of agenda-setting has proved to be of relevant heuristic value to explore the relationship between the media agenda and the public agenda and the processes of transference between them both. Taking this idea as a reference and basing on the tools of the analysis discourse by Van Dijk, this article shows the strategy of informative dosage developed by the newspaper El Día from Tenerife, Canary Islands (Spain) to turn the irregular immigration into the main issue in the civil agenda. The case study is focused on the support given by the newspaper to the call for a demonstration supporting a law of residence as the solution to the arrival of immigrants to the islands. We identified the writing units addressed to the demonstration call, the deliberate chronological sequence used to inform the readers and the editorial declarations supporting the initiative. The analysis lets us appreciate a paradigmatic example of the power of the media to set the political agenda and take in the political parties and the main institutions."/>
