Abstract
In this work Muniz Sodré bases his analysis on the principle that journalistic practice mobilizes different types of discourses, which have as their central point the production of news, the result of a liberaldemocratic strategy which has been in effect in the society for at least two centuries. The author avails himself of the thesis that although the concept of news makes use mainly of the principles of objectivity to support the imperative of supposed neutrality, the journalistic discourse is hindered by rhetorical and imaginative procedures which form the basis for construction of the event.Copyright for articles published in this journal is retained by the authors, with first publication rights granted to the journal.
