Abstract
Journalism, as a cultural product resulting from social needs, is the subject of systematic and complex exposition by Otto Groth. The purpose of this text is to analyze the links that the author establishes between the characteristics of journalism and culture, understanding the newspaper as a specialized materialization of senses present in society. In reviewing texts that study Groth’s work, we identify the absence of reflections on the neo-Kantian framework that structures the author’s propositions. In this occasion, we present a conceptual analysis of journalistic science as a science of the spirit, to later explore the newspaper’s characteristics: periodicity, actuality, universality and publicity.
