ABSTRACT: The
movement of populations is something that has been happening throughout history
and is currently a key element in all the political agendas. The impact that
the media has on the general opinion of society is undoubtable. With the
systematic review of the headlines of four key Spanish Newspapers during the
period of 2007-2012, we were looking for the tendencies and differences of 5 key newspapers
concerning the same event at the same time. The following keywords in Spanish
(Dugout, Sub Saharan, Moroccan, Avalanche, Massive arrival, Refugees, Alien
law, Internment centers, Human trafficking, Trafficking) have been searched for
in a Spanish newspaper repository. The results have been confronted between the
newspapers, obtaining clear differences on the importance and the usage of the
language repetition of terms to become opinion generators depending on the
political moment of the country and the editorial line of the media.
