Abstract
In this article we provide a critical analysis of 132 recent publications on the crisis of the written press. We find that the discussion of the phenomenon has been organized mainly in three thematic groups: the economic and financial dimension to understand the crisis, the description and analysis of the labor dynamics of journalists, and the crisis possible impact on the press social role and values. Research has been heterogeneous in terms of their conceptual approaches and the set of techniques used: mostly case studies and -to a lesser extent comparative studies. Moreover, they have mainly focused on the productive dimensions of information, leaving mostly aside the reception of news and the consumption of newspapers. Finally, we outline a possible framework for rethinking the crisis in this article, but also a future research agenda, from and in Latin America.
