Resumen:
Sumario:This article aims to analyze the changes in the photojournalistic practice because of the incorporation of digital media. A first hypothesis is an aesthetic of closeness, a concept that refers to the presentation of photographs or audiovisual products made by professional photographers who introduce an amateur aesthetic or use nonprofessional media. The objective is to explore some of the keys to the advent of this aesthetic of closeness and its main formal strategies, in order to analyze the current status of photography in its relationship with the representation of reality. The analysis is based on data from a limited sample probe taken at some journalistic approaches selected and questionnaires made those responsible for the multimedia content of four uruguayan media.
