Abstract

In this research, we have the purpose of identify senses related to investigative journalism practice through analyses of discursive marks in reports of Pública – Investigative Journalism Agency and Report. For this, we use theoretical methodological contribution from Discourses Analysis (DA). We analyze four reports from three analytic categories: Counting Process;Counterpoint of Facts; Humanized Description. Through the analysis, we verify that the Pública‘s investigative practice is marked for search for different versions from facts; the data crossing to oppose information; the documents utilization like sources and poll strategy and the humanization of narratives to contextualize matters.
