| Sumario: | This article addresses the analysis of the public communication of paleontological science carried out by the general newspapers of Argentine Patagonia, considering that this region is where the largest number of paleontological finds are produced in the country, and that it had been observed in previous research, that the topic was one of the most addressed by the national press in general. The objective of the research is to map the situation of journalistic coverage on paleontological science among the most representative newspapers in Argentine Patagonia, having observed that such disciplinary field does not have such indicators so far. This implies exploring and determining regularities and particularities in terms of the volume and characteristics of the informative approach carried out by the analyzed media on said scientific discipline. The methodology developed is that of content analysis carried out on an annual exploratory sample of the digital versions of 4 general newspapers from the provinces that make up Patagonia of the national territory (namely, Río Negro, Chubut, Neuquén, Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego), which are considered more representative by their respective populations. In this regard, among the results of the survey carried out, it is evident that the origin of the journalistic production of the published stories is predominantly local, that the journalistic genre used is preferably that of the news (the shortest and most classic genre), that the treatment of sources are poorly diversified, and human sources are prioritized over documentary ones. |
