Abstract

The exercise of journalistic activity has been disrupted since the emergence of the Internet and has intensified with the interference of social networks. By infinitely multiplying the ways of communicating on the web, journalistic activity has vindicated its profession based on a set of deontological rules. In this context, the article in question will address the identity of the Spanish information professional, taking into account heritage as a field of specialization. Taking into account that from December 14 to 20, 2020 the fifteenth session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICP) was held from UNESCO, the article aims to understand the publication logic associated with the information and use of images through three main objectives:1) Evaluate if there is a journalism specialized in heritage, or if it is subject to the area of specialization in culture for the referenced period;2) Determine to what extent official sources (institutional of the national and supranational government), as well as professionals (individual and collective from the cultural and patrimonial field) arerelevant in the process of disseminating information and creatingsocial representations.Anchored in a mixed methodology, the article analyzes the textual andvisual content of the articles collected from three national newspapers (El País, El Mundo and 20 Minutos).
