The first Argentine journalist was revolutionary, independence and illustrated. And he was killed when he was 32.
Today in Argentina Periodista.Todos Day on June 7 held in Argentina Journalists Day, commemorating the appearance of the newspaper La Gazeta de Buenos Ayres ", whose founder, Mariano Moreno, is remembered for various reasons linked to his political activity, which usually bypass her vocation as a journalist.
The practice of journalism by Moreno, has often been questioned with the argument that points to "Gazeta" as merely the first local government body, rather than an independent newspaper. Even in the formal education of many generations Argentina believe that actually the newspaper founded by Moreno, responded solely to the designs of the government resulting from the revolution of May 25, 1810.
Nearly 200 years later, new historians are suggesting that the importance of "Gazeta", lies precisely in that. To have been an organ of a revolutionary government and independence, which masterfully harmonized European journalism trends and also served to publicize the people thinking of European intellectuals of the "Enlightenment."
to all journalists working in a committed way the task not only to inform and educate the people, but above all create awareness and keep alive the memory, I wish you a very happy day, and what better gift than a quotation master teachers, the great Rodolfo Walsh (Argentine journalist and writer from -1927 to 1977 - disappeared during the military dictatorship):
"The field is by definition the intellectual consciousness. An intellectual who does not understand what happens in his time and his country is a walking contradiction and that understanding will be a place does not act crying in the anthology but not in the living history of their land. "
