Abstract

Focusing on the time before the ordering of the Covid-19 lockdown in Spain, and through the study of two newspapers widely circulated in Catalonia, this paper establishes a chronology of news in order to analyse whether the media created a certain degree of a state of alarm of any kind (economic, public health, etc.), as well as whether they anticipated measures to be later implemented or which were instrumental in order to question or modify the actions being carried out at present. The results achieved in the study have been used to assess the information provided by the media and link this to present controversies such as those concerning whether the evolution of the pandemic has been rightly monitored; whether it is possible to criticise a priori the planning and managing of the Covid-19 crisis; the dilemma between public health crisis and economic crisis, or between human rights and the fight against the virus; what future changes can already be perceived.
