CAVAZZINO, Valeria. Narrative reporting as a journalistic genre in Spain between literature and journalism. Comun. soc [online]. 2021, vol.18, e7751.  Epub June 20, 2022. ISSN 0188-252X.  https://doi.org/10.32870/cys.v2021.7751.

The relationship between literature and journalism is regarded as ambiguous and conflicting. It would be necessary to underline the complementary nature of the two creative dimensions of human communication in order to assess the combination of creative resources available. By virtue of the exchange of stylistic and structural techniques and strategies produced at the crossroads of the two fields, it is essential to devote attention to the hybrid genres originated by such an encounter, as is the case with narrative reporting. Therefore, this study analyzes its connotative elements, reviewing the evolution of the leading classification theories of journalistic genres in the Spanish context from a comparative perspective.
