Abstract
This article presents a discursive study of the way in which the educational reality in Chile is socially constructed, based on the construction of common sense knowledge in society by the mass media. For this, we present as a paradigmatic example a discursive analysis of the news constructions elaborated by several digital media on December 10, 2015, about the Constitutional Court ruling on the first proposal of gratuitousness in higher education made by the Government. From the analysis of the linguistic variation of each medium, the discursive patterns of Valuations and subjective positions of each medium were inferred in front of the actors and institutions involved in the construction of the news event. It concludes with interpretations referring to the discursive construction of a common sense knowledge established like the educational reality in Chile, emerging from the media, to which it has its own way of evaluations and confluent positions between two poles of intensity with multiple and heterogeneous intermediate intensities.
