Čoahkkáigeassu:Colombian armed conflict relates to the control of the territory. The violence of this process turns Colombia into the country with the second largest population of internally displaced persons (IPDs). In this essay, we consider a set of news from Colombian magazine Revista Semana and analyze which elements of the conflict are operated by Journalism when it talks about displacement. Inspired by the notions of discourse battles (Foucault, 2006) and thematic path (Guilhaumou, 2009), we identify that agendas, sources and framings are external to Colombia, because they are originated by reports from international organizations, and that the armed conflict only appears when it is triggered by the sources. Despite repeatedly assuming this discursive exterior, the magazine does not show the actors of the conflict.
