With the analysis of the photographs that Elsa Medina took of the consequences of the earthquake that hit Mexico City the 19th of September of 1985, we want to observe how the photojournalistic way of seeing does construct itself. After that, Elsa Medina will work at the newspapers La Jornada (Ciudad de México) and El Sur (Estado de Guerrero). With professionalism and knowing very well how to use her camera, she offers the portrait of a wounded city.
