Ethical-discursive organization in contemporary print utterances: from the journalist's work to the construction of editorial identity

Abstract

This article discusses how the intersubjective relations accomplished in the print journalistic utterance in one series of reportage show discursive movements that, on the one hand, define the ethical positioning at the work of journalists and, on the other, reveal discursive mechanisms that shape the editorial identity. Understanding the reportage as a concrete utterance established from the appreciative orientation revealed in the completion of the utterance subjects, the ways of inclusion of the words of others are problematized to demonstrate how the organization of the editorial identity takes place.
