Abstract

PALAU-SAMPIO, Dolors. ‘Sala Negra’, narrative and investigative journalism to unravel violence in Central America. Andamios [online]. 2019, vol.16, n.40, pp.327-349.  Epub May 18, 2020. ISSN 2594-1917.  https://doi.org/10.29092/uacm.v16i40.709.

Launched in 2010 as a section of the Salvadoran digital newspaper El Faro, Sala Negra has become a fundamental reference to unravel the keys of the violence in Central America. Based on a qualitative methodology, this article analyzes a dozen long-lived texts on gangs, human trafficking, prisons or abuses by security forces. Results highlight that, unlike the objectivist options of the Anglo-Saxon press, the techniques of narrative journalism contribute to enhance texts based on in-depth research, in line with the first muckakers.

Keywords : Narrative journalism; investigative journalism; violence; Central America; human rights.
