Abstract

This article aims to present some of the main results obtained from the performance of 16 discussion groups with urban popular young people from four regions of Chile, related to their perceptions, evaluations and levels of identification with the informative production of digital and print media. This article describes how young people present a strong disidentification to the contents and news coverage developed by print and online media about what we define as «popular young world».
