This paper presents an analysis of voices presented in science popularization (PC) news. Thirty exemplars of PC news from the BBC News International and Scientific American sites were analyzed based on a Critical Discourse Analysis perspective (VAN LEEUWEN, 1996; 2008) and a Systemic-Functional perspective (HALLIDAY, 1994; 2004). The results show that these texts have a multiplicity of voices, which can be grouped into different enunciative standpoints (researcher, colleague, government, public and the journalist him/herself). However, the analysis indicates that the government and the public participation is timid in these texts.
