Abstract
For many communication researchers, the journalism crisis now facing is a product of contradictions underlying the profession itself. In this article, we bet on another interpretation, having the methodological guidance in a dialectical approach. It is evident, therefore, that, although it has its own peculiarities, many of the symptoms of “journalism crisis” are consequences of the structural crisis of capital. This articulates via complex cooperation, technological and managerial innovations, increasing the subsumption of living labor to the current social metabolism system. Chronic unemployment, ideological decay, social barbarism and fall of commodities profit rate are phenomena that directly affect journalistic practice.
