Abstract

This article deals with the relation between the media discourse and the crisis of representativeness in the democratic model. We start from the hypothesis that, located among the institutions that defend the public interest in the context of freedom of expression, media vehicles contribute to the public distrust in politics and politicians. This is also because the democratic model does not privilege popular participation in decision-making.
