In the late 70s’the sociologist Gaye Tuchman (1976) drew attention to calling news information a story, ensuring that it is not a question of accusing the
news as fictional, just of claiming its reality “built” and “selective.” Tuchman’s
approach is the beginning of the contemporary discussion on the narrative
structure of the news and which, today, are under the scrutiny of those who
hold, as Van Dijk (1983), that the news must contain the classical categories of
the narrative, such as the story, the drama, the event, etc. This article particularly consults García–Noblejas (2005) who supports his approach to news narratives as fictions that make a reality cut and, as such, they have a high content
of subjectivity of the journalist – narrator, who decides on what society should
or should not know about an event.
