The form and content of the university chronicle in Colombia - written and published by student reporters in newspapers and magazines that serve as laboratories for undergraduates in social communication and journalism - is examined in the full-length mirror of the contemporary Latin American journalistic narrative of the so-called new chroniclers of the Indies. This article describes the gamble these apprentice journalists are taking on the chronicle. It is based on a pre-selection of 300 narratives from a total of 700 found in 35 newspapers and magazines, in print and digital form, and on a final selection made into an anthology: Aprendiz de cronista (Apprentice Chronicler) featuring 105 chronicles published between October 1999 and November 2013. It also looks at the recurring themes among young reporters, such as crime, drug trafficking, forced migration, urban life, marginalization, prostitution, gangs, music, recreation and sports, major and minor moonlighting or jobs on the side; in other words, the individual and social splendors and miseries of each day.

Authors interested in the late 18th century Bourbon reforms have paid quite a lot of attention to both the Enlightenment ideal and to the economic and administrative measures implemented by the Spanish empire in the context of the so-called "defensive modernization". However, it is also true that they often fail to mention the legislation regarding guilds and the mark it has left on the life of craftsmen. The present article focuses not only on said legislation but on its continuity and the influence it had on guilds during the early 19th century as well, in an attempt to evercome the limitations of the viewpoint from which independence is seen as a dividing line after which the colonial period does not seem to have any influence on republican life. Furthermore, although in this same direction, the social practices (civil and religious festivities) maintained by the craftsmen of Pasto during this period are described and contrasted.
