Análisis del discurso de dos crónicas urbanas sobre el COVID-19 elaboradas por el periodista ecuatoriano Lenin Artieda.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic we went through in 2020 meant an informative umbrella from which several communicational products emerged accompanied by the change of dynamics within the media. That is why this study analyzes the discursive construction of two communicational pieces of journalist Lenin Artieda issued during COVID-19 in Ecuador in order to highlight the theoretical bases on which both pieces are based and to determine their structure. The theories of New Journalism, New New Journalism and Slow Journalism are taken as a reference, since the author's style can be narratively linked to these schools, especially in the written support of both communicational products, including rhetorical resources typical of literature in order to generate an immersive environment in the communicational piece. The analysis of the discourse used in the methodology of this research allowed to know, among other premises, that the communicational pieces do not belong to a single journalistic genre, but are a combination of reportage, chronicle and opinion where the language presents a high aesthetic remark.
