Summary:This article analyses main contributions that social sciences provided to the study of the newsreel produced in Argentina. It takes into consideration the history of the genre, the conceptualizations proposed from semiotic and socio-historical perspectives, and defines its specificity by studying its similarities and differences in relation to documentary film and press. The article's contribution to the subject consists in systematising, analysing and discussing the concepts formulated to date, and what follows from that points to an original analytical perspective that constructs newsreel as an object of sociological study.
