Self knowledge and citizen communication: from conformism to action in the June 2013 protests

Abstract

The knowledge of self, the telling the truth and the free speech, principles of citizenship of Ancient Greece, reported in Foucault's work, are also theoretically principles of Journalism. However, from the analysis of the coverage of broadcast television channels about the protests that took place in Brazil in June 2013, what we saw was an antagonism between the media discourse and popular aspirations, transmitted in the streets and various forms of citizen Communication, including online universe. Thus, this paper explores, through Discourse Analysis, these antagonisms, aiming to examine the comments of José Luis Datena, Arnaldo Jabor and Rachel Sheherazade. This research reveals that while the public sphere has changed, the TV coverage follows the standards enshrined in the television news of the twentieth century.
