The present essay aims to understand the depiction formulated by the opinion leaders at the Mexican capital’s press about the indigenous population after the Neozapatista Uprising in 1994 and its transformation throughout the years in which the guerrilla movement stood present at the media, until 2003. In this dissertation, I sustain the idea that the approximation between the guerrilla movement and the press resulted in a change in the image that the media constructed and spread, modifying the depiction that had happened until then about the indigenous people by rethinking the preestablished categories inside the Mexican imaginary, in addition to exposing and proposing new perspectives and ways of representation. Therefore, I begin at the idea that the opinion articles published by the press between 1994 and 2003 were able not only to rethink the image of the indigenous people but also to give the uprising a fundamental space that allowed it to have a communicational reach like never before a guerrilla have had, changing the Mexican’s political and social relations To reach such goals we have chosen to analyse two Mexico City’s newspapers, La Jornada and El Universal, which have been selected due to their active participation in representing the indigenous people between the studied time frame, also for being both of them diaries with widespread national recognition for its collaborators and with an important number of daily copies throughout the country. These newspapers also were selected by having opposite ideological positions and editorial lines of work, which allowed the essay to have not only a broader perspective of the facts and its representations, but also helped to show how the different interests changed the light in which the indigenous people were shown.
