The war does not wait, thesis for the production constituted in a book of interviews with Cuban war correspondents, aims to weigh their role in the media, and corroborates in the testimonies given the importance of interpretive historical retrospection as a way to place the subjects both in the narrated story and in the assessment about it, which contributes to enriching the referential heritage that contributes to the investigations of different branches of knowledge. Composed of ten stories of journalists reporting from eight areas of armed dispute, between 1961 and 2011, the vision of its protagonists is retaken from a three-dimensional perspective: as tellers of factual stories, as opinionated entities of the events and context, and as evaluators who interpret the given reality. The thesis made an outline of the war context from the last century to the present, the causes and consequences that combat situations bring, and built new conceptualizations about Cuban war journalism, based on the protagonists themselves. The research used the qualitative design, it is descriptive, it used the biographical method with the life history as a technique, the bibliographic-documentary method by means of the bibliographic review and the in-depth interview as the main technique, and it was based on phenomenology as the method as it requires describing and understanding the experience from its own organizational logic. A diploma work like this ratifies the thesis for production as one of the most important ways to finish undergraduate studies.

Keywords : war correspondents; journalistic interview; war journalism; retrospective journalism.
