Abstract

Introduction Rodolfo Walsh's work is an undisputed part of Latin American journalism. Operación masacre, a point of reference when talking about pioneering texts that combine journalism, chronicle and literature, usually monopolizes most of the studies on Walsh's work. Objective In order to broaden the analysis, this article aims to focus on the author's journalistic work and detect the invariants and variables that occurred over time. Method From a literary-journalistic register, we approach the life and work of Rodolfo Walsh. We then opted for a reading of Walsh's three major journalistic works and an analysis of those works in their political context. We stand on the many critics who have studied the author, as well as the personal diaries that Walsh has left after his death. Results The diachronic study of Walsh's work provides us with the criticisms that Walsh has made of the different Argentine institutions: military forces, unions, journalism, justice. Likewise, the search for justice appears as a constant in his work. Conclusions Rodolfo Walsh's journalistic vision is condensed in the last text that he has published while alive, the open letter to the military junta. In that text he makes explicit his vision about journalism and the commitment that this vision of journalism implies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
