Abstract

João do Rio’s work is an indispensable object for the reflection about the development of journalist genres in Brazil. After decades of negligence the revalorization of this work needs some adjustments, though. Basically, it is necessary to strictly locate Rio’s work in a very specific context: the beginning of the 20th century – moment in which journalism in the country was suffering significant changes, the interruption of its political engagement and the incorporation of a commercial and business-like dynamic. The recognition of the peculiarities of this context is the key for understanding how the journalist genres presented in Rio’s main work are formed. By this analysis the plural characteristic in the configuration of genres originated from the European journalism, as the symbiosis between news reporting and chronicle, can be measured.
