An event, three newspapers: production processes in Latin American Journalism

With an event at its core, this paper aims to analyze the production processes that account for its journalistic materiality. It addresses the Angostura, the Colombia-Ecuador crisis that followed the attack by the Colombian army to a FARC camp located in Ecuador in March 1st, 2008. Based on the framework of news event studies, flows of the event and of Journalism were noticed (in the space, between newspaper sections and information systems). This work considers a set of news published between 2008 and 2009 in the Latin American newspapers O Estado de S.Paulo, El Tiempo and El Comercio. Through an analysis of the materiality of discourse (FOUCAULT, 2005; GUILHAUMOU, 2002), it identifies the extent to which the event can unsettle the newspapers' order. In the other hand, when it is forced to work with the event, the Journalism also organizes itself.
