Social Cartography. A map of journalistic research programs in Argentina

Abstract

The present work aims at developing the particular link that journalistic research programs establish with the reality represented with two modalities as starting points: commitment (complaint) and (surveillance) protection. These links are established from the characterization of a social cartography whose limits are framed in the relationship with certain subjects, spaces, and practices: those located on the margins and the conflict with law or social norms. A reflection on the functions which these operations build for television as a means: surveillance of context and modeling subjects and practices is also provided.
