The media space continues to be the place for debate on the most important issues for social development. In contexts of socio-environmental conflict, the media are defined in a space of symbolic dispute by both the pro-mining and anti-mining sectors, which have made their position visible through the media in various contents, including advertising. For this reason, we consider it valuable to study the coverage carried out by the newspaper El Mercurio and radio La Voz del Tomebamba during the Consultation for Water accomplished in Cuenca on February 7, 2021.
Social organizations that defend nature measured forces at the polls with those who defend mining as a mechanism for local development. Just over 80% of voters said yes to the prohibition of metal mining in the water recharge areas of the Tarqui, Tomebamba, Yanuncay, Machángara and Norcay rivers.
The media play a transcendental role in the final decision of the voters, therein lies the importance of this study, for which a qualitative, descriptive and analytical methodological approach is used. |
