Abstract

The article develops the hypothesis that the changes taking place in the field of current information production point out, among other things, to a growing appreciation of the interpretative journalism, reporting in depth or narrative. In this kind of journalism, the narrative takes on the therapeutic value of the word and it is proposed to organize the chaos of the immense wealth of information on news events in a possible cosmos of senses, fulfilling its primary function of guiding the citizens in a time like this, with abundant information and frequent shortage of links between them.
