Educación intercultural: Análisis de la prensa escrita de Arica (Chile) y de Tacna (Perú)

Based on a qualitative research design of thematic content analysis, the newspapers La Estrella de Arica (Arica, Chile) and El Correo (Tacna, Peru) were studied between August 1, 2016 and October 31, 2017, focusing on educational activities related to cultural diversity in transnational contexts. A total of 116 journalistic pieces were selected, and their themes were categorized by nationality, gender, culture, population, evaluation, and content. The results indicate that the coverage in these newspapers primarily centered on students, communities, and cultures, with a predominance of positive portrayals concerning integration, cultural preservation, and workshops addressing the specific realities of each city and/or country. These findings contrast with prior studies that highlight a tendency to portray interculturality negatively in this region, particularly in relation to migrant populations.
