This paper has as main objective to suggest a news’ classification which we call non-news, a product strongly present in our lives nowadays. We analyze the most famous celebrity publication in Brazil, a magazine called Caras. Our hypothesis is that, the media creates a phenomenon of self feeding. Weapply some concepts from the News and Journalism theories, and we subvert the cannons. To analyse this case can help us to understand a new mediatic reality. In this environment, the news - the non-news – is a momentary result in which the media does not cover events that take place in the outside world, the media creates the non-news itself by self feeding.
