Drawing on Borrat’s and Enguix Oliver’s theoretical approaches regarding newspapers and social networks, and through CDA models of Fairclough and Richardson, this research aims to understand to what extent the national quality newspapers such as El Nacional, El Universal, and Últimas Noticias, and the international ones as The New York Times, The Guardian, El País, and Le Monde participated in the Venezuelan political conflict and constructed the respective political narratives through Instagram. The findings show that both national and international press participated as external narrators in the political conflict and highlight the role of newspapers as political actors and social media as a tool in their hands.encritical discourse analysisdiscursive strategiesEl NacionalEl PaísEl Universaljournalistic discourseJuan GuaidóInstagramLe Mondenews in the pressNicolás Maduropolitical actorsocial mediatextual analysisThe GuardianThe New York TimesÚltimas NoticiasVenezuelajournal article
