The article explains the mechanisms of journalistic manipulation used in the news programmes of the regional public television of Valencia, channel �Canal 9�, in their treatment of two issues of interest, urbanism and water resources, during the months previous to the autonomous regional elections of 2007. The empirical sample on which the model for bias and framing analysis was tested consists in 140 news items about the two issues. To determine the informational bias we examined in the news: the type of event, the sources, the relevance indicators, the absence or presence of context, the lexicon and the images that were selected. The research proves that, during this pre-electoral period, the channel�s expressive and discursive tools were used to promote a biased party-line version of the facts, in a framing that coincided with the reasoning of the governing party (the Partido Popular).
