Resumen
Este trabajo se propone analizar la cobertura de la violencia paraestatal realizada por Los Andes y su relación con la figura del escritor y periodista Antonio Di Benedetto. Al analizar las páginas de este matutino durante los meses previos al último golpe de Estado, encontramos que pese a su conocido carácter conservador, Los Andes realizó una completa y profunda cobertura de las noticias que daban cuenta del accionar de las bandas parapoliciales. Al indagar en las causas por las cuales este conservador diario tuvo tal compromiso con lo ocurrido, nos encontramos con la figura de Di Benedetto, quien se desempeñaba como subdirector en ese momento. Conocido es el trágico destino del escritor, quien la madrugada del 24 de marzo de 1976 fue secuestrado y sometido a todo tipo de vejámenes. Si bien es difícil desentrañar la lógica con la que la represión actuó, la pregunta que siempre dio vueltas fue: ¿cuál fue el motivo del brutal “castigo” al que fue sometido Di Benedetto siendo que él nunca se había comprometido políticamente e incluso era conocido por sus ideas políticas conservadoras? Partiendo de la hipótesis de que su detención estuvo vinculada a la divulgación de noticias sobre la represión predictatorial, el siguiente trabajo se propone indagar cuáles fueron esas publicaciones que causaron tanto malestar al interior de las fuerzas armadas y cuáles fueron sus consecuencias políticas.
This paper aims to analyze the coverage of parastatal violence perpetrated by Los Andes and its relationship with the figure of writer and journalist Antonio Di Benedetto. When analyzing the pages of this newspaper during the months before the last coup, we find that despite its well-known conservative character, Los Andes made a complete and deep coverage of the news that gave account of the action of the parapolitial bands. When inquiring into the causes for which this conservative daily had such a commitment to what happened, we find the figure of Di Benedetto, who served as deputy director at that time. Known is the tragic fate of the writer, who was abducted and subjected to all kinds of harassment on the morning of March 24, 1976. Although it is difficult to unravel the logic with which repression acted, the question that always revolved was: what was the reason for the brutal "punishment" that was submitted to Di Benedetto being that he was never politically committed and was even known by his conservative political ideas? Based on the hypothesis that his detention was linked to the publication of the news about the repression before the dictatorship, the following work intends to investigate what was the news that caused so much discomfort within the armed forces and what were the political consequences of its publication.
