Abstract

In this article, the role of videographic evidence in media coverage in which social protest was criminalized is examined. The analyzed event took place in Chilpancingo state of Guerrero, Mexico– in December, 2011. Students from the Normal Rural School of Ayotzinapa and agents from different police corporations were involved. To carry out this examination, the concept of “frame” in communication is reviewed, as well as the context in which this case developed. Also, the frames in communication before and after the release of the previously mentioned evidence are explained. Finally, the political elite’s consensus is discussed as an other contextual factor.
