Abstract
Este artículo busca identificar la relación de poder establecida entre políticos y periodistas en ruedas de prensa sobre la relación bilateral entre Estados Unidos y México en 2017-2021. Se analizaron ruedas de prensa concedidas por representantes gubernamentales estadounidenses y mexicanos. Se utilizaron modelos de comportamiento en la relación de poder entre periodistas y políticos, teorías sobre los roles de periodistas y políticos en ruedas de prensa, y sobre tipos de preguntas y respuestas. A lo largo del texto, se analizó el contenido para identificar actores, temas, tipos de pregunta y respuesta, así como al análisis de discurso para exponer y comentar las preguntas y respuestas. Los temas predominantes de la investigación son la migración, la evolución de la relación bilateral, la seguridad y la renegociación del TLCAN. Se hacen más preguntas “inquisitivas” que “procedimentales” y los representantes políticos responden enfatizando los puntos de interés común y “matizando” las declaraciones de Trump. El modelo de relación de poder predominante es el “modelo de intercambio”. El análisis permite determinar el nivel de transparencia ofrecido por las instituciones gubernamentales. También se puede discernir qué modelo de relación de poder predomina en el intercambio entre políticos y periodistas. © La autora © Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey.
This article aims to identify the power relationship established between politicians and journalists in press conferences on the bilateral relationship between the United States and Mexico in 2017-2021. Press conferences given by US and Mexican government were analyzed. Behavior models used to analyze the power relationship between journalists and politicians, theories about the roles of journalists and politicians in press conferences, and theories about types of questions and answers. Throughout the text, press conferences available on the websites of the US Department of State and the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs are taken as a sample. Content analysis is used to identify actors, topics, types of question and answer, and discourse analysis is used to present and comment on the questions and answers. The predominant topics are migration, the evolution of the bilateral relationship, security and the renegotiation of NAFTA. More “inquisitive” than “procedural” questions are asked. Political representatives respond by emphasizing points of common interest and “nuancing” Trump’s statements. The predominant power relationship model is the “exchange model”. The analysis allows for the determination of the level of transparency offered by government institutions. It is also possible to discern which model of power relationship predominates in the exchanges between politicians and journalists. © The author © Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey.
