Resumen

El uso de titulares en los medios digitales puede tener un fuerte efecto en la cognición sociopolítica de los lectores (Abdel-Raheem y Alkhammash, 2022). Es decir, partiendo de la afirmación de Van Dijk (1988), la construcción de titulares en los medios de comunicación no siempre se considera una cuestión de sintaxis, sino más bien un problema de conocimiento. Con este fin, se aplicó un muestreo intencionado de titulares de noticias para construir la macro-representación de los iraquíes en The Guardian y Deutsche Welle, seguido de un análisis crítico del discurso y del encuadre utilizando el enfoque socio-cognitivo de Van Dijk (2008,2009) y la teoría del encuadre de Entman (1991,1993). El estudio llega a los siguientes resultados: En primer lugar, se considera que los titulares de las noticias desempeñan una función discursiva política y empática en The Guardian. En segundo lugar, los resultados revelan que la representación contrastada del discurso en Deutsche Welle es el efecto de los acontecimientos políticos en Alemania. El hallazgo más destacable que se desprende de este trabajo es que la crisis de los refugiados iraquíes se define como un problema social en Oriente Medio en el que la atención se centra en las minorías étnico-religiosas, como los yazidíes y los cristianos. Además, The Guardian y Deutsche Welle refuerzan la idea de que los refugiados iraquíes han sufrido desplazamientos forzosos, ataques brutales, éxodos y reubicaciones demográficas en Irak, donde el ISIS es el principal factor de la crisis.
