| Sumario: | Introduction. In this research we analyze contents of the radio program Complementarios of the public chain Radio 5 as a sample of the concerning pandemic of pseudoscientific discourses broadcast by media. Methodology. We used content analysis from the Frame Theory perspective to determine the discourse device with which pseudoscientific contents are promoted in this radio program. Results. The public radio chain aims to promote an informational space and of social utility but contributes instead to the diffusion of contents without any scientific validity and puts itself at the disposal of the pseudoscientific discourse. Discussion. The so called complementary therapies and pseudoscientific discourses occupy the public space pretending to be useful and scientifically valid. Conclusions. These mediatic contents can be quite harmful and derive into serious public health problems, and should be treated from a much more critical and scientifically responsible perspective. |
