Abstract

It proposes a critical analysis of the journalism model that has become a professional practice and an instrument of democracy, seeking to understand the weaknesses that contribute to the crisis of trust and legitimacy that it is experiencing today. It traces a brief history of this model, locating its origin in the moment of consolidation of the bourgeois order, after the liberal revolutions, and identifies as one of its main characteristics, relevant for the current moment, the conception of objectivity as a synonym of neutrality. Coming to the contemporary scenario, it discusses the role of journalism in the normalization of extreme right leadership in Brazil and Portugal.
