Review, the newspaper critique.

Abstract

This article argues that the review is the cultural critique in newspapers, founded on the journalistic field, which came into being along with the principles and values of modern journalism. We operate the proposal of criteria of definition of gender: enunciative logic, argumentative force, discursive identity and potentialities of the medium (SEIXAS, 2009). We observe that the regularities of the criteria help to understand the genre, but a relatively stable action must be confronted with the properties of the institution of which it is a part. Currency , periodicity, objectivity (GROTH, 2011, SCHUDSON, 2008, 2011, FRANCISCATO, 2003) act in the constitution of the review, oriented to the current and the new and predominantly argumentative (ADAM, 1992).
