La simplificación en el mensaje periodístico. La dinámica dualista: el caso Assange

Abstract

In this article, the result of an academic research on the completion of aFinal Degree Project, we seek to define the concept of simplification of the message. The search for this definition is carried out based on several authors from the world of the Information Structure and the Social Psychology of Communication. Given the breadth of the concept, we have delimited the research offering a more basic and fundamental view of the aspects treated. Throughout the work, we have tried to establish which are those characteristics that meets what we could call the contemporary press, which had never lived with such haste, and which is so linked to the machinations of Power. For this, we have turned to elementary authors of the Communication, such as Ramon Reig and other researchers, although we have also sought to introduce, albeit in a reduced and laconic way, a neuroscientific explanation to give answers to the perfect functioning of “simple journalism”.
