UM PERCURSO PARA ESBOÇAR O ‘NOVO INTELECTUAL’ QUE SE FAZ NECESSÁRIO NO JORNALISMO CONTEMPORÂNEO

This text intends to elaborate a theoretical path for the constitution of the figure of the ‘new intellectual’, proposed by Gianni Vattimo, with his association with the actions of three reporters. Eliane Brum, Alexandra Lucas Coelho and Adriana Mabilia adopted, inside and outside the media, another mode of journalistic objectification; positioning themselves as critiques of journalistic practices, as opposed to the ‘intellectual journalists’ identified by Bourdieu. They provide evidence of this figure in the production of the ‘reporter's book’, where they analyze their field, questioning the principles and giving evidences that with this action they undertake a movement of individualization deviating from the collective authority prevailing in the disciplinary regime of journalism and expressing a desire not to conform to the norms and political will of others.
