The journalistic collaborations of Francisco Umbral in Mundo Hispánico in the sixties: the forge of a writer
Abstract
This article describes Francisco Umbral's journalistic collaborations during the 1960s in the magazine Mundo Hispánico (1948-1977), one of the Madrid media where he began his career as a journalist. In addition to compiling his articles during this period, most of them classified in the genres of cultural journalism, it analyses the evolution of Umbral's literary style, which began with genuinely journalistic pieces, such as reports and interviews, and ended up in the freer format that would later distinguish him as a journalist: the literary article.
