FIGUEIRA, João. The political denoucement at birth of new journalism: the pioneering case of Rodolfo Walsh. OBS* [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.1, pp.172-191. ISSN 1646-5954.

Fifteen years before Tom Wolfe's seminal work featuring the new journalism and with a decade in advance on Truman Capote's "Cold Blood," argentine journalist and writer Rodolfo Walsh published "Operation massacre", its first of three journalistic investigations that truly mark the birth of the new journalism. Starting from a critical reading about the new journalism, we show how this current was not born in the United States and how only the hegemony of the english language explains that the phenomenon is generally focused on the north american reality, ignoring other experiences. The present article also makes clear the political dimension of Walsh's work, which is a distinguishing mark compared to other authors of the new journalism.

Palabras clave : New journalism; narrative; "Operation massacre"; Rodolfo Walsh.
