Through a qualitative and Critical Discourse Analysis of three Chilean newspapers (El Mercurio, La Tercera, La Segunda) an examination has been undertaken of how issues, which according to scientific findings are directly linked to environmental problems and/or climate change. This paper deals mainly with the discourses published by the Chilean newspapers El Mercurio, La Tercera and La Segunda during two weeks in 2007 and hoa they have addressed, or not addressed in those media. The results of the analysis reveal the ideological significance of "the absent", as well as the way by which the modification-process operating within this medium creates a certain order of discourse: neoliberal and neoclassic.
