Résumé
The first part of this article is a cross section analysis of Brazilian communication research produced by postgraduate level (doctor and master programs) of the Journalism Department, School of Communication and Art (ECA) of the São Paulo State University (USP), Brazil, between 1989 and the beginning of 2004. ECA/USP is one of the most ancient and in infuential school of journalism inBrazil. An analysis of its production may reveal an illustration of journalism research in the country. In the first three decades of ECA’s existence, the field of journalism studies accounted for around 22% of the School’s production of theses and dissertations. The second part of the article presents some data – mostly quantitative and partially qualitative – based on a content analysis of the journal Revista Brasileira de Ciências da Comunicação. The period considered ranges from January 2000 to December 2004 (five years, ten issues).Copyright for articles published in this journal is retained by the authors, with first publication rights granted to the journal.
