Abstract

This article reflects on the (dis) ways that Brazilian telejournalism has taken with the use of so-called hidden cameras. Technological apparatus used to obtain, without the interviewees knowing, images and information that will be transmitted by the television stations to millions of people. A resource that endangers both the professional and the journalistic ethics, and that leaves in the background other techniques of calculation so precious to the exercise of the profession of informing.
