Writing Journalism History

This book critically examines the transformations of historical knowledge about the journalism produced in Brazil.
Beginning with an analysis of the first accounts, originating from the activities of the Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro and its provincial/state counterparts, in the 19th and early 20th centuries all the way to the specialized academic production, which emerged with the institutionalization of the area and subsequent expansion of postgraduate studies at the turn of the 21st century.
This volume will be of great value to students and scholars alike interested in historiography, the history of journalism and Latin American history.
