Cuando el periodismo decimonónico se puso a soñar.

Abstract

Journalism couldn't be born until the first technical revolution of the spreading of the literary messages: the printing. Since then, journalism has evolved bound to technique and every technical advance has involved a journalistic advance On the threshold of a new millennium, when computer science means the latest ­for the present­ journalism revolution, we look back to find out how Spanish journalists from 19 th. and early 20 th. century 153 Bernardino M. Hernando Cuando el periodismo decimonónico se puso a soñar imagined 21 th. century journalism. The French writer Jules Verne dared to do something more: to envisage 29 th. century journalism. Perhaps so much display of imagination in a work so tied to reality as journalism is leads to new views and concepts. Perhaps everything shades into a melancholic scepticism.
