Summary:

The work consists of three parts which are different and, at the same time, related via a common link that runs through them: the concepts of consensus and integration. The first part, devoted to studying the State, considers the consensual nature and the unitary operating function of the latter in the current political system known as the Rule of Law. The second part refers to the role of subsidiary inclusion operator of the media via state political consensus, and focuses essentially on an analysis of the work of the leader writer, materializing in articles published by El Correo Español under the pseudonym "Vicente Copa" between 1982 and March 1989 - a work that, according to our hypothesis, constitutes a legal-journalistic process that attempts to politically integrate the PNV (Basque Nationalist Party) into the state logic or status quo.  We have divided this task into three periods in accordance with the steps taken in this sense by the aforementioned party and which coincide with a certain change in leader writing discourse.
The third part deals with the lexicon used in preparing such articles, and consists of a definition according to our assumptions of their significance in terms of integration, both due to the influence of the consensual context within which they are to be found and to the structural function with which they contribute to this.
