When producing a journalistic text there is always an expected reader, who may be identified by text and graphic marks left in the message. Several theoretical approaches try to identify such reader, considering this as the first step before an evalution with the empiric receptor. The current article presents the models proposed by Teun Van Dijk and Klaus Bruhn Jensen, the “comprehension of the news” and the “super-themes”, respectively. From these and other references, it proposes a short analytical exercise over police related news published by the newspapers Folha de São Paulo and O Estado de São Paulo, trying to draw inferences about who is the expected reader on such publications and which are the adopted strategies for reception construction.
