Résumé
"This article analyzes how television news has enhanced the role of representation of the United States-Mexico border in themes such as immigration, represented in “spectacular” ways related to “warfare.” By using textual analysis on TV reports, I aim to show how local television network news in the United States (NBC) and Mexico (Televisa) construct the representation of the U.S./Mexico border through a particular conflicting vision to account for border enforcement and interventions on both sides and with similar visual strategies. The analysis centers on actual “visual text” or television news reports, which tries to demonstrates how assumptions guide the activity of local network coverage, and how, at the same time, limits what the news reports, and consequently contributes to the perpetuation of a representation related to “crisis” in the border region."
