News about science should never be treated as trivial matters. This article focuses on the topics of allergies and prehistory to analyze and compare the presence of these two areas in the Spanish written press. We performed documentary analysis of 141 news items and 150 units of analysis. We have also developed our own methodology. In this sense, the tool is divided into two blocks: the first part collects general data about the written media and the second assesses the excellence of the text and the information. Our work confirms the scarcity of information on both topics, their low media relevance, and a lack of any remarkable journalistic focus in terms of originality and creativity. In particular, we looked for items in the printed versions of the dailies El Mundo, La Vanguardia, La Razón, El País, and El ABC, ranked as the most widely read newspapers in the different editions of the Spanish General Media Report in 2018.
