Informe

Abstract

The image contains news about a report that discusses issues related to subscriptions to the “Official Gazette”, the sale and purchase of paper, and the state of a steam engine. This fragment of text is interesting because it offers a historical and contextual vision of the management and operation of a newspaper or official entity in times past. The news is a brief journalistic genre that collects information considered of particular interest or novelty. Its main function is to inform the public about current events that may affect people's lives. Furthermore, news plays a relevant role in democratic societies by making events that could impact public opinion public knowledge. The image in journalism is key to contextualizing the event from the point of view of the coverage carried out by the journalist on the field. Images must be chosen carefully to prevent the reader from mistakenly identifying the photographed company with an illegal party, as in this case. News published in the Official Gazette, No 11415, February 11, 1901.
