SAEZ, Virginia. Views of Secondary School in Situations of Violence: An Analysis from the Argentine Press. RMIE [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.73, pp.565-583. ISSN 1405-6666.

The objective of this article is to examine how educational institutions are viewed in the media. Specifically, an analysis is made of the characteristics of the representation of Argentine secondary schools in the coverage of school violence by the newspapers of the city of La Plata. The study is qualitative and is based on 3,581 articles published from 1993 to 2011; the method used was the socioeducational analysis of discourse. The project shows that public secondary schools are represented as a dangerous place that is associated with crisis, violence among teachers, and a lack of security at school. This research contributes to reflections on the way the implicit meaning of coverage constructs certain spaces as threatening.

Keywords : school violence; media influence; secondary education; public sector; Argentina.
