El origen y desarrollo de la noción del "reportero gráfico" en el perú y la visualidad del territorio a inicios del siglo xx

Abstract

This paper explores the emergence of the notion of the news photographer-reporter in Peru, as well as how it came into practice, and what were its characteristics and its contribution to the definition of a visuality of the national territory through the coverage of events and issues at the beginning of the XXth century. It comprises a bibliographical revision of the history of Peruvian journalism but, fundamentally, of original sources such as photographer and editor Manuel Moral's publications, the illustrated magazines Ilustracion Peruana and Variedades, and the daily newspaper La Cronica (founded 1912), where the notion of news photographer-reporter first appeared and was shaped.
