Resumen

Hasta qué punto las voces que entran en conflicto con las posiciones hegemónicas son escuchadas en las noticias de cubrimiento internacional y cómo estos patrones del discurso público cambian a medida que nuevos sucesos se develan. Este texto analiza los artículos publicados sobre el presidente venezolano Hugo Chávez en un periódico elitista de Estados Unidos durante el periodo 2001-2002. Se efectuó el análisis de contenido de 65 artículos que pertenecían a tres períodos (antes, durante y después del golpe de Estado). Se halló que las voces anti-chavistas predominaban en los discursos de la esfera pública, hasta que un golpe militar ilegal lo removió del poder y, posteriormente, las voces pro-chavistas ganaron mayor espacio en la cobertura del líder venezolano.
