Selling economic crises: negative impacts on public opinion and the responsability of rating agencies

Abstract

This article aims to determine, at the juncture of the economic crisis that occurred after the covid-19 pandemic, the real relationship between the information pressure carried out by the bodies responsible for public communication, and its effects on Public Opinion. Regarding the research methodology, everything is born from the definition and contextualization of the main theories related to this field, leaving, in this case, the internet and social networks on the margin of the study. A content analysis has been built that allows generating a discursive corpus through which to analyze the thematic convergences of the media in relation to its narrative axis. The necessary space has also been devoted to explaining the role of the Rating Agencies in these effects on public opinion.
