O pragmatismo das fontes profissionais de informação : perspectiva teórica não-conspirativa da relação entre assessores de imprensa e jornalistas

Abstract

Based on the existing literature in journalism sociology, this article seeks to understand the role of press aides as basic pieces in news making and to particularly try to understand to what extent they can guide the journalistic work. Avoiding conspiring and Manichean positions, it is shown in the text that there is a pragmatic trend of news induction practiced by press aides, public relations, representatives, communication advisors, spokespersons and other sources that work with information professionally.
