Abstract

The author goes over the objectives and events that gave meaning to a journalism that seeks participation and compromise from the community. Civic Journalism is defined not as "an old wine in a new bottle" but as an expression of its time, as a result of an historical development that demands to journalism the recovery of its ideals.
