ABSTRACT
This article intends to discuss the relationship between the historian and the media considering the perspective of public history. The authors analyze the context of production of the Brazilian TV Show Guia Politicamente Incorreto, recently produced by History Channel and inspired in the book Guia Politicamente Incorreto da História do Brasil, written by the journalist Leandro Narloch. In this text, we consider public history as a space of dissemination of historical knowledge in its intersections with other areas, such as journalism and film production. Therefore, we aim to highlight the public role of historians in the present time.
