«Los cinco sentidos del periodista» is the essay by Ryszard Kapuściński published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in paperback (90 pages, in Spanish).
The book arises from the workshops Ryszard Kapuściński gave in Mexico in 2001 and in Buenos Aires in 2002. In them he dissects the workings of a news story and presents journalism as a collective task: those who practice it, those who are protagonists of that narrative, and those who read it all take part.
Published in 2003, the volume launches the Nuevo Periodismo collection, directed by Tomás Eloy Martínez.
Aimed at journalists, communication students and readers interested in how a news story is constructed.
Ryszard Kapuściński was a Polish journalist, photographer and author. He received many prestigious awards and was considered a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Kapuściński's personal journals in book form attracted both controversy and admiration for blurring the conventions of reportage with the allegory and magical realism of literature. He was the Communist-era Polish Press Agency's only correspondent in Africa during decolonization, and also worked in South America and Asia. Between 1956 and 1981 he reported on 27 revolutions and coups, until he was fired because of his support for the pro-democracy Solidarity movement in his native country. He was celebrated by other practitioners of the genre. The acclaimed Italian reportage-writer Tiziano Terzani, Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez, and Chilean writer Luis Sepúlveda accorded him the title "Maestro".
