Resumen: This article analyzes how statewide and regional public television in Spain handled the demonstration held on September 11, 2012 (the National Day of Catalonia), in Barcelona under the slogan 'Catalonia, a New European State.' The author performed a content analysis of fifty-eight news programs and a narrative analysis of eighty-nine stories. The results indicate that the majority of the channels offered limited coverage of the demonstration. The television narratives also minimized the role of citizen agency in the achievement of goals through democratic participation and displayed a depoliticized account. The author argues that the coverage of the march and its consequences resulted in a masking of citizens political engagement; far from promoting an understanding of why the march was so massively supported, it instead presented a story on politicians strategy. The author relates this case to a wider trend of media coverage of citizens protests in a Western, post-democratic context.
