description The article proposes to analyze from a sociological perspective the local journalistic practice around the constitution of shocking cases in small towns of Buenos Aires province. The research focus attention to trouble practices of the local journalists in the city of Ayacucho using as a reference a death that happened in the town in 2011 that was constituted as a national shocking case: the Antonia case. With these objectives we interviewed local journalists, developed participant observations in their work environments, andanalyzed sources of local, provincial and national press. The analysis of the coverage of the Antonia case allows to advance in the characterization of practices, categorizations and ratings shared by local journalists organized around the production of police news, a territory rarely explored by the social sciences in our country. The revealing power of the case is expressed particularly in two tensions produced in its configuration process as an event. On the one hand, a tension derived from the presence of national press journalists whose practices questioned local journalists. On the other hand, a tension between the daily routines of local journalists and the extraordinary practices demands for a case that generated attention of local and extra local audiences. Regarding their experiences in the case, crossed by these and other tensions, the local journalists identified possibilities and restrictions that link to the exercise of the profession in the context of a small city.

El artículo se propone analizar, desde una perspectiva sociológica, las prácticas periodísticas locales en torno a la constitución de casos conmocionantes y noticias policiales en ciudades pequeñas de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. Enfocamos la atención investigativa en problematizar las prácticas de periodistas locales de la ciudad de Ayacucho, utilizando como referencia una muerte ocurrida en 2011: el caso Antonia. Con la mira en estos objetivos, realizamos entrevistas en profundidad con periodistas locales, observaciones participantes en sus ámbitos laborales y analizamos fuentes de prensa local, provincial y nacional. El análisis de la cobertura del caso Antonia permite avanzar en la caracterización de prácticas, categorizaciones y valoraciones compartidas por los periodistas locales organizados alrededor de la noticia policial, un territorio escasamente explorado por las ciencias sociales en nuestro país. El poder revelador del caso se expresa particularmente en dos tensiones habilitadas en su proceso de configuración como acontecimiento. Por un lado, una tensión derivada de la presencia de “enviados” de medios nacionales cuyas prácticas interpelaron a los periodistas locales. Por otro lado, una tensión entre las rutinas cotidianas de los periodistas locales y las prácticas extraordinarias que demanda un caso en torno al cual se configuraron públicos en diferentes escalas. A colación de sus experiencias en el caso, cruzados por estas y otras tensiones, los periodistas locales identificaron posibilidades y restricciones que vinculan al ejercicio de la profesión en el contexto de una ciudad pequeña.  Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios sobre Cultura y Sociedad 2017-06-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares application/pdf https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/astrolabio/article/view/12668 10.55441/1668.7515.n18.12668 Astrolabio; No. 18 (2017): SOCIALIDAD MEDIATIZADA: SOFTWARE SOCIAL EN PERSPECTIVA LATINOAMERICANA; 173-196 Astrolabio; Núm. 18 (2017): SOCIALIDAD MEDIATIZADA: SOFTWARE SOCIAL EN PERSPECTIVA LATINOAMERICANA; 173-196 Astrolabio; n. 18 (2017): SOCIALIDAD MEDIATIZADA: SOFTWARE SOCIAL EN PERSPECTIVA LATINOAMERICANA; 173-196 1668-7515 10.55441/1668.7515.n18 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/astrolabio/article/view/12668/17176
