Sumario:This article seeks to demonstrate the role played by the Colombian written press in the construction of the social narrative on the femicide of adult women in the country, through the identification of the dominant macrostructure in more than 1 000 journalistic products from more than 20 local and national newspapers. The sample, which was taken over three years, was subjected to a content analysis that showed that the dominant macrostructure is neither the understanding of femicide as a social phenomenon, nor the dissemination of the antifemicide law in Colombia, but the Myth of Romantic Love as a discursive element present in most of the cases published in the national press.
