In a scenario marked by flexible working and identity tensions, the paper intends to an effort of theorizing and understanding of the work of the journalist in addition to their "traditional" identity (contracted with a formal contract) from three distinct and complementary plans: 1) the production plan, involving theory of value and critique of political economy, in addition to the types of labor relations; 2) platforms and devices while speeches considering language as work; 3) the "brand" identity resulting from the process considering subjectivities and performances. We seek to highligt the signic and productive circulation of the journalist's work by circulating where the ideological directions of its activity of communication and work.
