This paper is based on the contribution of two theoretical-methodological approaches expressively disseminated in the journalism studies field – frame analysis and rhetorical criticism – in order to develop a critical analysis of the concept of “construction news-value”, conception originated from European authors, such as Traquina (2008) and Wolf (2003), with significant reception in Brazilian journalism schools. Rooted on authors such as Goffman (2012), Gitlin (2003), Entman (1993) e Kuypers (2009), this article elaborates a critical view to the concept of “construction news-value” and it contributes on the understanding that both approaches mentioned above can offer a more elaborated theoretical-methodological base in comparison with a news classification from fixed parameters supposedly shared in the journalistic field.
