The reform of the newspaper model carried out by La Vanguardia in 1989 imposed a format for headlines whose typographic features forces the usage of shorter sentences as compared to those that are usual in the classical information-interpretation model which this Barcelona daily has chosen to maintain. The main objective of this research work is that of experimenting with combined techniques for transforming head lines while conserving intact the nature, substance and purpose of the informative-interpretative headline, in spite of the fact that its material expression evokes the formulas typical of popular sensationalist newspapers. The practical exercises on which the results of this investiqation are based were proqrammed wIth the aim of closely observing the different operations which intervene in the writing of a headline. Verification of results and of the analyses to which they were submitted from a pragmatic perspective contributed to prove that a short headline is not an exclusive property of sensationalist newspapers. On the other hand, this study allows us to advance in the theoretical identification and in the systematic knowledge of the rhetorical devises that play a role in the process of putting together newspaper headlines and texts.
El biografismo como método de estudio fundamental en todas las ramas de las Ciencias Humanasprincipalmente, las vinculadas a manifestaciones literarias comienza a abrirse paso, lentamente, en las facultades españolas de Ciencias de la Información, en contraste con la práctica académica de las universidades extranjeras más avanzadas, como el caso de las norteamericanas, donde las tesis sobre la vida y la obra de periodistas, o sobre corrientes o escuelas, son materias constantes y predominantes de investigación. El libro de José Francisco Sánchez sobre Miguel Delibes, basado en la tesis doctoral que le dirigió el prestigioso profesor de Lengua Española Manuel Casado, es la más interesante de las aportaciones bibliográficas que en esta especialidad se han hecho hasta ahora en España. No es la primera aportación, por supuesto. Dentro y fuera de los departamentos de Periodismo de distintas universidades de nuestro país se han desarrollado ya algunos estudios monográficos sobre la vida y la obra de periodistas, como es el caso de los trabajos sobre Mariano de Cavia, por
