This paper aims to analyze the way the narrator articulates in literary journalism through the book-report O jornalista e o assassino written by Janet Malcolm. Knowing that the study about the narrator is scarce in the area of communication we are worth, especially, by the premises of Walter Benjamin who, among other authors, elucidates the narrative issues allowing interdisciplinarity. We conclude, from this research, that the narrator of this work tries to use a language close to orality and presents a tone of advice to receptors. In addition, this narrator intertwines with the figure of the author, who narrates in the first person and does not maintain distance but, instead, presents herself as part of the narrative.
