Territorios culturales: un análisis comparativo de las características de la información periodística en la contemporaneidad

En este artículo proponemos la reflexión sobre la información periodística en el contexto contemporáneo a partir del análisis de las características del soporte del periódico, en una comparación entre dos periódicos de distintos países. A partir de los conceptos de espacialidad, visualidad y comunicabilidad, discutidos por Ferrara, considerando también el análisis de los componentes de paginación y diagramación de los periódicos, buscamos escudriñar los sentidos de la información y del conocimiento en este contexto de instrumentalización técnica

Miguel Hernandez published his masterpieces in different newspapers as a war reporter, with his own name and with a pen-name, playing roles of director and political commissar in different newspapers in the war-trenches. Thematically, this first article shows his personal and political engagement, as well as his desire and strategy to protect the capital city of Spain: Madrid. Methodologically, the analysis is an approached to linguistics in social sciences, which presents some of the personal characteristics and style of the chronist Miguel Hernández.

His literary style and quality are installing him in a outstanding position as well as pioneer of the genre nowadays known as New Journalism that in his case, it is politically engaged
