Abstract

The conceptual definition of newsworthiness does not eliminate the journalistic field of one of the main questions about the subject: how the definition of some criteria happens or, in other terms, how does the events, in fact, become news? In this scenario, the delimitation of the newsworthiness concept needs complementation from the theoretical improvement of the criteria that antecede and characterize the selection of news. The article goal is to revisit the conceptual debate about the newsworthiness with the intent of understanding their processes in the inside of a own reference framework of discursive theories from Patrick Charaudeau contributions.
