Abstract

The present essay will gather some evidence on the television news program Here, Now, of the Brazilian Television System (SBT). They emerged from a semiological survey, carried out in nine editions, of 1997, fixed on the production of meaning. The Barthes paradigm was used, above all, through the categories Fait Divers, Poder e Mito, focused on the informative typology and the organization of each edition. The nine editions of the television news series, 29, 30 and 31 of July and 1º, 04, 05, 11, 12 and 18 of August, of 1997, totaled 59 telerreportagens. All were typified as Fait Divers, in their various expressions, which also determined the organizational logic of each edition.
