Campesino: Protagonista Invisible

Abstract

This monograph work aims to offer a general overview of the participation of peasants in the national media and their visibility in the media scene, analyzing how their presence on the national stage has been addressed, what type of publications have been carried out in different printed and audiovisual spaces chosen at random and what type of access does this union have to the media. Specifically, it is an analysis of the participation of the Colombian peasantry in the media during the last ten years. The topic becomes important in the sense that the rural population of our country, especially those who work in the countryside, suffers from various difficulties and is a victim of inequalities that will be exposed in the development of the monograph. In the social sphere, oblivion and ignorance of these problems prevail, and if this is the case, perhaps it is because of the invisibility that the main communication media have made of the issues that concern the peasant. What the monograph intends is to inquire whether said non-visibility is true or not. In addition to the investigative document (monograph), the work will present two communicative products: the first one takes radio as the setting for the preparation of a documentary that, taking the peasant in the role of protagonist, of his low presence in the media or the intermittent of the same only when the conjunctural situation makes it news.
