Abstract

This paper investigates, from a real example, what effect does journalistic techniques have on the media “point of view”, creating a paradox and sophisticated imaginary. Journalistic technique’s “essence”, is not technical, but cultural. It shapes, distorts, reforms, conforms to and transforms a fact into a happening.
