El surgimiento del reportaje policiaco en México. Los inicios de un nuevo lenguaje gráfico (1888-1910)

Year: 1998

Type: article

Abstract: The México City press was deeply transformed during the last quarter of the 19th century. It became more news-oriented, a novel commercial character. This change altered the journalistic morid; suddenly, thousands of copies of newspapers reached a more heterogeneous public than before. Clearly, this was possible due to the recently improved technological infrastructure. This article gathers and describes some of the first engravings and photographs which appeared in the press of the turn of the century. Special emphasis is placed on scenes related whit crime. This paper also tries to document how some sectors —goverment-linked or pertaiming to the opposition— used these images to build and illustrate their particular view of crime.
