Cultural Journalism and Immediate Contemporary Needs
Cultural Journalism and Immediate Contemporary Needs

Summary/Abstract: Contemporary society was to face one of its deepest crises, structurally speaking, from March 2020 onwards, a moment that practically reset both the thinking and the limits we had imposed on ourselves until then, whether deliberately or involuntarily. The chance to return to normality has been the great challenge of these dysfunctional times. But what does normality mean after all, as it could be defined by the contemporary human being, a very active but structurally very problematic human being, but above all with very many weaknesses. Weaknesses that have turned contemporary human beings into real targets in everyday confrontations. In the present situation, the cultural field, which is a niche and has a shrinking number of followers, has been hit very hard by a consumer market that has entered into a continuous process of saving itself at all costs. Thus, cultural journalism has had the role of saving what could be saved, as almost everything has moved online, practically a space dominated by a completely different industry, the roles have increased in intensity and the achievements have been commensurate.
