Abstract
This work analyzes the image of the National Library of Mexico in the media during the controversy aroused by the introduction of the National Cultural Agenda 2001-2006, in which Mexican president, Vicente Fox Quesada, supported by renown writer Carlos Fuentes, announced the future creation of a Mexican National Library as part of his administration’s cultural program, when in fact the library had already been created in 1867. In order to make this analysis, a corpus consisting of 35 texts linked to the library’s creation polemics was selected and extracted from four newspapers. These 35 texts represent the 35 units of analysis that were quantified and categorized to draw the conclusions presented onthis paper.
