SANTANDER M., Pedro. El acceso de los ciudadanos a las noticias de la televisión: la construcción de un tercero discursivo. Lit. lingüíst. [online]. 2004, n.15, pp. 183-210. ISSN 0716-5811.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0716-58112004001500012.

The next work deals with the representation that is made of the citizens without social power in Chilean television news, from the perspective of the Discourse Analysis. It is analyzed how they access linguistically to the news discourse. Unlike what other studies claim, it is stated that the access of the citizens to television is frequent. However, it is often associated to controversial and tragic situations; besides, strategies that turn them into second-class informative sources are linguistically predominant: is not talked to them, but about them
