This research aims to contribute to the discussion about printed media, studying the discourses of two daily newspapers concerning the MST - Movimento Sem Terra (landless rural worker's movement) from Pontal do Paranapanema. This work places itself in the debate between those positions that understand media as an ideological device of domination and those for whom the inevitable multiplicity of meanings from media may exert a constructive participation in a conflictive society, even though not intentionally. References to constructivist social psychology places our position in the second group of considerations and sees the daily newspaper as a mosaic in which multiple dialogues and meaning productions about the same theme coexist. This configures the newspaper in three simultaneous ways: as a means of conveying multiple voices, coming from different places and with different positions on what it reports; as a social actor, with its own voice and position about what it reports; and as a place to dialogue with readers, who are active co-authors of the meanings and stories that are told. Therefore, the newspaper appears as a space of expression of the hegemonic struggles of a certain time and place.
