CALDERA SERRANO, Jorge. Agency dispatches (teletypes) as a documentary type. Investig. bibl [online]. 2007, vol.21, n.42, pp.177-193. ISSN 2448-8321.

An agency's dispatch is analyzed as a documentary type (print, audiovisual and sound material) which must be preserved and analyzed by the documentation departments of the mass media. In order to carry out such analysis, a study of the semantic structure of their discourse is made to serve as a basis for the identification of access points that the data base requires if it is to store such material: subject, chronological, geographic and author information.
