SANCHEZ PARRA, Sergio Arturo  and  UZETA F., Antonio de Jesús. Journalism and political violence in Mexico, 1970-1976. View of El Diario de Culiacán. Let. hist. [online]. 2015, n.12, pp.115-140. ISSN 2448-8372.  https://doi.org/10.31836/lh.12.1780.

This essay covers some aspects of the political violence which afflicted Mexico and Sinaloa during the 1970s as viewed by El diario de Culiacán, a newspaper of the Sinaloan capital. It is not an essay which describes a set of political and military actions which various guerrilla groups deployed the length and breadth of Mexico. This, and other preoccupations, are considered in studying this phenomenon which deeply affected the Mexican society of this time and which we ask our readers to consider. Our essay will analyze the role of instruments through which the public acceded to a public forum to channel diverse opinions about the problem, looking for explanations, or at the same time, using reports, opinions and editorials which allowed the reconstruction of potential social representations of these groups which decided for idealogical and political reasons to confront the Mexican state through armed struggle.

Keywords : politics; public forum; collective representation; guerrilla.
