In Spain, rurality has been narrated in a frame of endemic decline due to complex social factors (such as the demographic challenge) and economic factors (such as the crisis of the primary sector). Nevertheless, this frame has found an alternative narrative that I have named the resituated rural. This new discourse is being significantly generated in the realms of culture (literature, cinema, museums) and the media (local, specialized journalism, social networks). These cultural spheres are triggering new insights into rural opportunities and challenges. The resituated rural opens innovative narrative flows, differing from the stereotyped and victimized accounts of rurality. In the resituated story, countryside dwellers are empowered in what I identify as being an agentic rural. In this contribution I illustrate these concepts—previously discussed—with two cases that exemplify what I call the new journalism of the resituated rural.
