Abstract

This study aims to describe the social spaces, social roles and
topics in which young Central Americans are mentioned in written mass media
press between the years 2013 and 2017. Furthermore, this research belongs
to youth studies that relate social conditions with the practices of those who
are in that period of life. The retrospectively analyzed data derives from a 612
Central American news compilation from 2017 to 2013 of each online media’s
platforms selected. The two main topics in which young people are mentioned
are theoretically and historically discussed in depth, namely violence and
education.
