Abstract

Cinema uses fiction to represent a story, but these stories are based on real emotions, feelings and sensations. Moreover, cinematographic fiction affects, as mass-media, the spectator ́s perception about the world. The cinematographic imagery forms a part of the culture and the fiction turns into something absolutely real. When war correspondents are represented on cinema their social responsibility, their private life and the war drama are represented too. In many cases the audience will know more a fictitious journalist than the real one, and the image they acquire might depend more of the profile that the cinema offers them that of the real work of a real journalist.
