Abstract
The relationship between literature and journalism is a topic that has generated controversy throughout the years. On one pan, conventional journalism demands to rely only on facts in an objective way. On the other, there are ones who believe that in order to express a journalistic fact it is necessary to include emotional, spiritual and moral aspects, stepping into literature's field of studies. At the present time there are motives which increase this polemic: the proliferating number of writers who work on both fields, such as Gabriel García Márquez or Elena Poniatowska; the necessity of journalists to compete with electronic means of communication, making them increase their creativity and to make texts which border with literature; and, furthermore, the eternal conflict between objectivity and subjectivity.
