Control procedures and the resistance in the journalistic practice

Abstract

A collection of interviews with journalists has put in evidence a process of autonomization in the journalistic practice. During the asking and answering game, in order to catch them in their illusions about themselves and the journalism, we have constructed a theoretical-methodological device that triggered the notions of discursive consciousness and of control procedures that affect the professional practice (MAROCCO, 2012a). In the enunciative analysis of data, which gave birth to the present text, we have detected in the core of four discursive figures the tension between control procedures and the resistance in the journalistic practice.
