    ANÁLISIS DE LA REPUTACIÓN DE CHILE EN LA PRENSA EXTRANJERA 2015 Ricardo Leiva Doctor en Comunicación Universidad de Navarra Tatiana Berckhoff Cádiz Facultad de Comunicación Universidad de Navarra Facultad de Comunicación, Universidad de los Andes Av. San Carlos de Apoquindo 2.200 Teléfono 22 618 1245 – [email protected] 1 ANÁLISIS DE LA REPUTACIÓN DE CHILE EN LA PRENSA EXTRANJERA 2 ANÁLISIS DE LA REPUTACIÓN DE CHILE EN LA PRENSA EXTRANJERA Resumen Ejecutivo Un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de 1.744 artículos publicados sobre Chile en 10 diarios y 1 semanario de relevancia mundial durante 2015, muestra que los conflictos y escándalos políticos y empresariales—como el de la colusión del papel higiénico—y los litigios limítrofes con Perú y Bolivia, dañaron la reputación de Chile en el extranjero durante 2015. La buena actuación de Chile en la Copa América, en cambio, sirvió para paliar el gran número de noticias negativas que se escribieron sobre nuestro país el año pasado. Fue precisamente la Copa América el tema que resultó más interesante para la prensa extranjera durante 2015, seguido de los desastres naturales y accidentes, como las erupciones de volcanes como el Calbuco, y las inundaciones en el norte durante el primer trimestre, entre otros. Los triunfos de la Selección chilena de Fútbol se tradujeron en un volumen considerable de noticias positivas para Chile, las que fueron parcialmente contrarrestadas por la detención de Arturo Vidal tras su accidente en estado de ebriedad, y el comportamiento antideportivo de Gonzalo Jara. En 2015, el 39% de las noticias publicadas en 10 diarios y 1 semanario de referencia mundial fueron negativas para nuestro país, comparadas con el 33% que fueron positivas y el 28% que fueron neutras / mixtas.

    Sorensen interview with Jenny and Sherry February 2010 Q. Your relationship to Thompson and his to Kennedy When John F. Kennedy was elected president in 1960, one of the reasons he ran was because at the height of the Cold War he was fearful that the Eisenhower/Dulles foreign policy of massive retaliation might only lead to nuclear war. Your father, Llewellyn Thompson, who had been US ambassador in Moscow during those late 50’s years was I’m quite certain a career a foreign service officer who was appointed I’m not sure what his title was counselor or maybe Ambassador at Large in the State Department. When CMC broke, (and more details in my new book called Councilor: Life at the Edge of History) on Oct. 16 the first of 13 memorable days of 1962. Historians still call them the 13 most dangerous days in the history of mankind. Because a misstep a wrong move could have started a war which would have turned very quickly into a nuclear exchange. And if the first step were Soviets firing tactical nuclear weapons, The United States, would have responded at least with tactical nuclear weapons and once both sides were on that nuclear escalator, they would have moved up to strategic weapons and then to all-out warfare, and the scientists say that the explosion of so many large nuclear weapons in both eastern Europe and in North America would have produced, in addition to the bombardment of 100s of thousands and millions of people in both countries, would have resulted in radioactive poisoning of the atmosphere and in time of every dimension of our planet and would be speed via wind and water and even soil to the far reaches of the planet until that planet was uninhabitable: no plant life, no animal life, no human life, and we you and I would not be talking right now.

Los hechos ocurrieron a las ocho de la mañana del 2 de julio de 1986, Rodrigo Rojas De Negri caminaba junto a un grupo de jóvenes por una calle de la comuna. Verónica De Negri en 1976 fue trasladada al campo de concentración de Tres Alamos. Allí permaneció más de un año, sufriendo las más hasta que fue expulsada del país y logró refugiarse en Estados Unidos, donde se reunió con sus dos hijos. En medio de planes, postergados una y otra vez por la negativa chilena para que su madre retornara al país, Rodrigo nunca se insertó plenamente en la sociedad norteamericana. Y tampoco tenía madurez para comprender lo que ocurría en su tierra de origen. Vivió un tránsito indefinido, igual que tantos otros, entre una realidad que sentía ajena y otra que, sabiéndola suya, sólo percibía por señales lejanas. Desarrolló un sentimiento casi obsesivo ante esa realidad que escapaba de sus manos. Buscaba ansioso la literatura latinoamericana, tocaba charango en un grupo de música andina, participaba en actividades de solidaridad, todo en los días en que jóvenes de todo el mundo tenían en el rabillo del ojo las victorias sandinistas en Nicaragua, las hazañas del Frente Farabundo Martí en El Salvador y la lucha del pueblo chileno contra la dictadura.
