Ecuador en cien lugares: crónica de la ciudad de Piñas

Abstract

Abstract: The chronicle and its process are an integral part of contemporary journalism and a way of disseminating information about a specific event or place. The general objective of this research is: to create a chronicle about Piñas, province of El Oro, through the analysis of thirty available documents, chronicles, interviews, reports and academic works. The methodology is of qualitative design, of the documentary-bibliographic type and the observation and analysis of content were used as techniques, and the content matrix, libraries and digital networks, Facebook and YouTube, as instruments. The results allowed us to appreciate a glimpse of the Piñas canton through the historical, social, economic, tourist and cultural spheres, developing each one with sources in different formats. The conclusions show an imbalance between the sources and the quality and quantity of information they contain regarding each area, with tourism being the most addressed. Likewise, they confirm the scarcity of journalistic texts about Piñas.
