Examines the role of public hearings held in the Chamber of Deputies as instruments of political participation and citizenship. From a brief theoretical summary on the creation and structuring of the public hearing in Brazil, describes the coverage of the public hearings made by legislative media, pointing out the limitations and problems of activity. The conclusion is that despite the potential of the instrument, adjustments are still required to ensure that the public hearings are appropriate for the Brazilian population as an instrument of participation in the elaboration of public policies.Downloads
