To do this, we draw a timeline of how the trajectory of the alternative proceeded to understand how the potentialities allowed by alternative journalism are explored in the reports that circulated between October 1976 and March 1979. Among the components, we must that the alternative, at the to focus on common issues at the time, distributing relations between media and history based on the pages and statements of sources, pointing to silenced and often hidden issues, as a counterpoint to the government's official discourse.
