Algunas reflexiones sobre la documentación televisiva

Resumen

The author's purpose in this article is to emphasize the nature of documentation as the background which is absolutely necessary to make a journalistic report. The essential element of documentation is not the datebase -even though we can't neglect the technological support- but the achievement of real documentation that serves as a practical support to the theological, ethical, rethorical and poetic sense that should be developed by the communicator. Documentation sense presupposes an attitude of service to citizens, an inclusion of the text into its appropriate context, and its historical perspective in order to find the depth and real meaning that reality has, discovering courteous signs inherent to communication: wealth, beauty and refined meaning.
