Periodismo de servicio en la prensa local de Galicia

Abstract

the main newspapers in the 90s, in the beginning of XXI century service journalism won new spaces. All newspapers' redesign from 2000 aimed for new windows with more useful information, directed to the immediate demands of the citizens. A research on the characteristics of the press contents shows an important change in journalism trends. Another study about service journalism indicates how La Voz de Galicia, the reference newspaper in Galicia, took this path which also transits the main newspapers. This new model, that is walking its first steps, opened a new stage in the information offer in Galician press, that looks for ways to get away from the crossroads in which is immersed. Government control, stabilization of the sales, difficulties for the increasing of advertisement profit and multiplication of the information offer put Galician press on the spot.
