This article presents the results of further investigation: the analysis of the presence of young people in the highest rated media in Catalonia and how this media made their discourse about this collective on the basis of journalistic sources used, the analysis of the headlines, and the narrator's attitude from a methodology that applies qualitative and quantitative techniques. The article also includes the journalists thinking about press coverage of young people, on the one hand, and professionals working with young people, on the other, through the answers obtained with qualitative techniques.
