This investigation determines the media treatment that two media, one private and one state media, gave to the kidnapping and murder of the El Comercio newspaper team. The methodology was qualitative and quantitative, since through the content analysis carried out to the news published by both media regarding the kidnapping of the mentioned equipment, the contents were analyzed descriptively, taking into account the information sources, the genres used, the type of photographic material used, as well as the issuance of publications. The technique used corresponds to the content analysis, which in the opinion of Van Dijk (1990) is a tool that allows us to examine fundamental elements that affect when presenting a news event.
