To accomplish this task, the graphic coverage of the Special Supplement of the newspaper Tribuna, which was published for the II National Cement Festival in Olavarria (1974), is analyzed. A methodology of discourse analysis was used to identify, in the journalistic narrative, the way in which meanings are represented and constructed in relation to identity and local cultural heritage. The main results of the analysis highlight the symbolic power of storytelling in the media to build, reinforce and reproduce a mining identity brand linked to the cement industry in the Olavarria party, which has become a constituent aspect of the historical and cultural heritage of the city, and has been projected over time and remains alive today. This work is expected to contribute to the discussions about the leading role the graphic press has played in different historical moments and its influence on the local identity. |
