Comunicar la población: (des)articulaciones en el discurso periodístico en medios de prensa en Cuba

Abstract

This article approaches the production of news on demographic dynamics in the country's press media, in the context of COVID-19. A review is made of the theoretical conceptions about the definition of communication in the population, and the examples that show certain disarticulations in the journalistic discourse regarding the subject. Qualitative techniques such as content analysis and bibliographic and documentary review converge. The analysis is carried out on the digital versions of the Granma, Juventud Rebelde, Sierra Maestra newspapers, and on the Cubadebate site, between the months of January to May 2020. It is concluded that Demography is closely linked with Communication, in times of health crisis such as COVID-19, requires the training and constant improvement of the professionals of the union in the interpretation and dissemination of problems around population dynamics susceptible to reflection and change in order to guarantee a better mastery of the subject and eliminate the repeatability of the publications.
