PUERTA, Andrés. Narrative Journalism or a Way of Leaving a Mark of a Society from a Period of Time. anagramas rumbos sentidos comun. [online]. 2011, vol.9, n.18, pp.47-60. ISSN 1692-2522.
Journalism and literature have nourished and fecundated themselves and have been involved in promiscuous and incestuous relationships. Mutual borrowing and theft have been important for both disciplines. The only winner has been the reader who has been able to enjoy better literature and journalism. However, we should understand that there have been many failed attempts from both sides ending in a total failure for texts which are neither journalistic nor literary works. Forms of a good journalism can also become a way of literature. Journalism (narrative journalism, especially) is a way of writing which, due to its specific characteristics (including finding characters, recreating actions and contexts) has been a way of keeping a living memory of civilizations, a beating story, and is alive in those yellowish papers which become valid every time someone tries to study them. When talking about representing history, the main genre has been the report which is one of the genres with the highest contribution to narrative development in Colombia and Latin America. From the Indias reporters to the new Indias reporters, an exchange between literature and journalism has occurred generating successful results such as El Camero written by Juan Rodríguez Freile, Gabriel García Márquez's work, development of movements such as the Modernism, times and forms of narration such as the novels known as Violence Novels. In our days, an impulse has been noticed with a group of writers trying to reflect reality of our continent in the search for a personal voice to give testimony of a specific period of time.
