Abstract

This article assumes that, because of the avalanche of information that traditional media confront us every day, you need to reaffirm the idea that journalism does not represent or mirrors the social, political and cultural life of a society. In fact, as narratives builders, journalists operate textual and non-textual structure codes that, allies what they know of the world, various professional and ideological visions constraints, give meaning to events. In this context, this article crosses contributions of narrative studies with constructivist theories of journalism, with special focus on newsmaking theory, to show the influence of narrative mode over journalistic textualities. It is to discuss the degree of narrativity inherent in the journalistic discourse, demonstrating that, as in other types of narrative, journalistic narrative builds multiple realities with meanings that vary according to discursive strategies mobilized by enunciating involved by ideological devices. As analytical work, it refers to tools of Critical Discourse Analysis, combined with narrative categories, to analyze articles published in Brazilian magazines Veja and IstoÉ on a demonstration by students from the University of São Paulo occurred in October 2011.
