The beginnings of the mystery journalism in the Spanish television: MÁS ALLÁ (TVE1, 1976-1981)
Abstract
This investigation analyzes one of the television programs that started the so-called mystery journalism in Spain: Más Allá. It was presented and directed by journalist and psychiatrist Fernando Jiménez del Oso and it was emitted on the second public Spanish channel since 1976 to 1981. The program dealt with many debates and interviews focused on the hidden sciences field (to concrete, it encompassed any theme related with mystery and unknown topics). It has been analyzed its presence during the programming (channel, day and hour of emission), the main dialed topics and the esthetic and audiovisual resources used to create a specific climate. It will be shown that Más Allá meant a cultural shock as it broke with some aspects of the “Franco regimen” dealing with topics that until that moment have been considered taboo
