Abstract:	This article identifies the representations of the Bari and Uwa ethnic groups constructed by the regional press, in the case of La Opinión (Cúcuta, Norte de Santander, Colombia) between 1992 and 2018. The selected period obeys the first 25 years of the Political Constitution promulgated in 1991 after a political process that demanded the establishment of a secular and social state of law. Through the documentary review of 78 copies of the newspaper in its printed version, being this an intentional sample conformed by the newspapers of October 11, 12 and 13 of each year (eve, day and after the commemoration of the discovery of America or Columbus Day), a process of codification and categorization was applied, which evidenced the infantilization of the Bari, showing them through caricatures and illustrations in the children's offprint. In addition, it made the Uwa invisible; they are only mentioned twice. The newspaper represents the indigenous Bari and Uwa as warriors, associated with the resistance to the conquest and colonization during the 17th and 18th centuries, and as heritage, as it values their existence, their ancestral practices that allow the care of the territory, but in general, there is an underrepresentation of these communities in the media. This situation is recognized as an opportunity to make an intercultural educational commitment in the Department and the recognition of pluriethnicity from the school. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
