Resumo(s)
By focusing on the emergence and development of journalistic conventions and
professional routines it is possible to understand the prominent role of journalism in
the social construction of meaning. In this article, we theoretically examine journal ism as a special field of discursive production. The field of journalism presents more
than the facts it gathers and reports. The institutionalized retelling of events is a very
distinct way to put meaning on them. We suggest journalism is a historically and
culturally bounded discourse whose performative nature is at the core of its moral
authority and social credibility. In addition, the performative discourse of journal ism invites us to extend the concept to include, for example, the conventions of style
and form. The historical transformations journalism took may, thus, be looked at as
efforts in the battle for performative discourse involved in the process of a mimetic
(re)construction of the social world.
