Abstract
This article investigates the forms and the functions of discourses represented in the construction of journalist discourses. In the journalistic field, is especially relevant the study of how journalists represent the discourse of the other. When building his/her discourse, the journalist must decide if reveal or not his/her sources and, if his/her goes to reveal them, how to turn the discourse produced by his/her sources in discourse represented. Based on theoretical and methodological contributions of a model of discourse analysis, the Modular Approach to Discourse Analysis, the study focused on a discursive production quite complex. Through the analysis, it was possible to see the complexity of decisions that a journalist must make, when he/she represents in his/her discourse the discourses of other agents.
