Acontecimento, narrativa e conhecimento no jornalismo : um estudo sobre a reportagem de João Antônio

Abstract

This is a study about literary journalism. Its object is formed by stories produced by writer-journalist João Antônio. Through historical and theoretical literature on studies in the fields of journalism and literature, came to the three main categories of analysis, namely: journalistic event, (literary) journalistic narrative and journalism as knowledge. This study intented to identify and examine the presence of these concepts in journalistic work of João Antônio, more specifically on a sample of five of his stories, representing his work in this area, published in newspaper or magazine. The analysis under the three categories conducts a journey that begins with the reflection on the construction of the script ideas and the reasons why the events are chosen and portrayed by the reporter; passes through the narrative mode used by him to perform this framework - to tell the stories; and ends by addressing a possible way of interpreting the reports, the idea of journalism as a form of knowledge.
