Abstract

We are in a media landscape ruled by the advent of new digital formats result of the technological revolution. In the last few years new forms of knowledge that have changed social interaction have been developed. The digital press that is transmitted only on the Web, has shifted to the classic printed in the consumer habits, due to new and potentially instantaneous multimedia language. In this article we analyze the degree of involvement of the press, especially the newspaper in the socialization of their audience. Being a historical review (not based on assumptions, deductions), we start from the concept of mass communication to be contextualizing the study and focus it in the papers printed with a degree of depth that allows us to clarify the status of the issue. In order to approach the current situation, we conducted a study to readers from a quantitative perspective to provide reliable data that support our theory by way of conclusion.
