Abstract

This work locates in the area of investigation of communication and history. It analyzes the present historical conditions between two moments in the history of the Latin American media in the century XIX: the press developed with the processes of liberating, it was characterized to make explicit its political roll in the discussion of ideas and it bids up it by the power; and the commercial press, that to the heat of the technical advances it was professionalized and it found in the idea of informative neutrality an effective tool of camouflage for the ideological dispute. It was at moment signed by the discussion between writers and reporters, the tensions between fiction and reality and the political confrontation about the roll of the journalists.
