Milena: La naturaleza de Risto Mejide. (The nature of Risto Mejide.)
In this headline we can observe a biplanar character since there is signification when we relate a present experience to an absent one. They are two planes, meaning that, as long as we do not have the relationship between the signifiers (which are risto's comment and the mentions of Ana Obregon and Cristina Pedroche's lives) we do not assimilate the terms. In this news we can see the clear intention of the journalist against risto calling for sensationalism. In the headline, there ir a person reference is used when referring to Risto's nature. With this he tries to attract the attention of the possible readers, he makes them interested in what is Risto's nature, is it good or bad? We can also find a clear violation of the maxim of relationship since the journalist is expressing his own opinion on the subject. The text is full of verbs with expressive intention as they show the journalist's emotions and also declarative, with which he exposes what is said by those affected.

Milena: Exigen el despido fulminante de Risto Mejide. (They are
demanding the immediate dismissal of Risto Mejide.) CLICHE In this headline we can observe an interpreting character, where to take into account the meaning of the headline, we must take into account what happened and from there it leads us to reason and deduce the possible arguments. The journalist uses a directive speech act "demand", where he simply states in a generic way a proposed action, without putting his opinion, which makes this headline have a direct style, where he interprets other people's statements. We can also observe conventional meaning where we can see how the journalist expresses a message without expressing it explicitly. The conventional meaning we see are: Maxim of quality, he does not say anything that can be considered false; maxim of mode, he uses a clear and brief headline..
Milena: Risto Mejide se burló de la muerte de un familiar en OT
(Risto Mejide mocked the death of a family member in OT)
This headline has a psychic character, in which the readers
themselves are the ones who have to find the meaning of the headline. We can also find deictics that guide the reader to think what the journalist wants. The deictic of person "a relative" is used in which, by not mentioning who he is talking about, he uses it to arouse the reader's intrigue. The journalist uses an expressive speech act "he mocked" where he is conveying his point of view on the subject and makes the headline have a direct style, since by adding that, he is manipulating the reader's perception. Therefore, we can see a violation of the conventional meaning of relation and mode as he makes an irrelevant and ambiguous comment.
Risto vs ana y cristina
Risto: A media personality of television that sometimes with his
comments does not think about what may be provoking, staying in the character he created several years ago, even so, he defends his actions, he did not do it to bad or to criticize these people, his intention was "innocent", more an attack on those media companies that take advantage of the misfortunes of others to sell.
Ana Obregón and Cristina Pedroche: They are public figures
whose comments, like Risto's, end up having a lot of repercussion in the media world. It was believed that Pedroche was going to announce her pregnancy during the chimes and Obregón had just experienced close deaths, two topics that were going to provoke a lot of audience. So Risto's comment was a hint towards these girls criticizing television and these two for wanting to give audience in this way, although it was not their real intention. However, it was an unfortunate comment that managed to give the opposite effect: more audience than there was going to be in the beginning. Risto is often criticized for making cold comments without thinking about how it might affect the other person.
