Abstract
This article, of a comparative nature, analyzes the news coverage of four Spanish-speaking media outlets in Mexico and in the United States around immigration and the coronavirus. To do this, we have opted for topic modeling, a quantitative technique that allows us to examine the main topics that make up the phenomenon alluded to in these headers, thanks to the association established between their keywords. In the results, on the one hand, the vulnerability and stereotypes that criminalize immigrants are observed and, on the other, we find a distinctive treatment of immigration associated with the media, depending on the context in which they operate, as a country of origin, or as a receiving country.
