The present: temporality in journalism and its consequences

This discussion is about the concept of temporality in the field of journalism, starting from the principle that current events are the basis of journalistic narrative reflecting two devices used to bring density to the present: the past, as a factor of memory, and the future as projection. In doing so, we intend to understand the ways in which journalism establishes strategies enabling the creation of the sense of "presentification", simulating the idea of a current event. At the same time it fits together the dimension of fact, its narrative and the reader, although, in general, the journalistic narrative refers to some event that has already happened.
