Modesto Sánchez Ortiz, communicator and treatise writer on Journalism
Abstract
This paper aims to approach the almost unknown biographical profile of Modesto Sánchez Ortiz (Aljaraque, 1857-Madrid, 1937), an Onubense self-made journalist in the last decades of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Very linked to Politics, from his journalistic career we can highlight, among other achievements, the intelligent management and the modernization of the newspaper "La Vanguardia", as well as the writing of "El Periodismo", a book about the journalistic profession that makes him one of the first treatise writers on Journalism in Spain. Despite this, he is little remembered today, so we intend to recover the trajectory of a person who started an important dynasty of journalists and writers that continues today, with new unpublished data.
