This paper studies a set of profiles of women written by Marta Brunet for the Chilean magazine Ecran between 1935 and 1936, published in her column "Alrededor de una mujer" (Around a Woman). This column was an important space for the divulgation and appraisal of artistic and intellectual activities of Latin American women of the period. The profiles are analyzed considering the medium in which they circulated. In this sense, I maintain that, unlike the female models that Ecran publicized on its pages, in Brunet s column the qualities of modern women were highlighted, with trajectories where work, travel and self-training were decisive for carrying out a personal and original project.

La Crónica (1883-1886), a morning paper from Buenos Aires, based its distance from party fights both on its title and on its editorial structure. It had three sections: a literary, a scientific and a journalistic one, so politics was out of the focus in the traditional way. It main genre was "alta crónica", which focused both in local characters and places. These "reportajes" allowed their chroniclers to find out and to experience several features of the genre which will endure for long time. Thereby, it offers a counterpoint to development of the chronicle genre and a different look both at literary and journalistic modernization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we intend to address an analysis of the publication of domestic violence and femicide cases, through a survey conducted with four Argentine newspapers during the first half of 2012. We are interested in enquiring who the privileged representatives by the media are when reporting on the phenomenon, in order to distinguish the space of enunciation that the press gives to diverse actors. Through the analysis of the stories of aggressors, family, justice and victims, we intend to observe the diverse positions and the arguments involved and elucidate who has a louder voice in defining and fixing the interpretations of femicide and gender violence. Based on this, we seek to catch a sight of the reduced space women take up in a sea of voices in counterpoint. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
