PALACIO MONTIEL, Celia del. La prensa como objeto de estudio. Panorama actual de las formas de hacer historia de la prensa en México. Comun. soc [online]. 2006, n.5, pp.11-34. ISSN 0188-252X.

This article presents some of the efforts made in México in the last few years in order to make deeper studies of the history of Mexican press of the XIXth and XXth centuries.

The author also writes about how these efforts (the formation of work groups, organization of academic events, specialized electronic pages elaboration, and different kinds of publications) have contributed to the formation of a new disciplinary «field». The books about press history that appeared between the years of 1998-2004, will be especially revised, taking into account the authors, disciplinary field and place of publication. The Masteŕs and PH.D. dissertations will be also mentioned.
