Resumo
This study aims to investigate how citizenship and democracy are established as foundational
elements of graduate programs in journalism in Brazil. The study involves an analysis of the
official documentation of the mentioned programs and the bibliographic references used in
Journalism Theory courses offered by journalism programs at federal universities in the
Central-West region of Brazil. The general topics of the study are journalism education in Brazil
and the institutionalization of journalism as an academic discipline in Brazil. Scientific research
on these topics was prompted by the implementation of the new national curricular guidelines
(Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais – DCNs) for journalism programs in Brazil in 2013. These
guidelines determined that journalism programs would be considered independent bachelor's
degree programs instead of specializations within social communication programs. The
problematization of the current context of journalism programs resulted in a theoretical and
exploratory study that aims to investigate the foundations and theories of journalism as an
academic discipline. This study also pertains to a larger group of studies that interrelate
citizenship with democracy. The methodology consists of bibliographic research to build the
theoretical framework on the correlation between citizenship, democracy, and journalism. It
also includes a documentary analysis of the official documents published by the Ministry of
Education (Ministério da Educação – MEC) regarding undergraduate programs in journalism
in Brazil. These documents include both basic curricula and DCNs. The analysis aimed to
identify mentions of citizenship and democracy, as well as expressions related to these two
concepts, in these documents. Finally, a bibliographic analysis was carried out to analyze five
books that were listed in the bibliographic references of Journalism Theory courses offered by
journalism programs at federal universities in the Central-West region in Brazil. The results
demonstrate that citizenship and democracy are foundational elements of the regulations of
undergraduate programs in journalism in Brazil since the establishment of the third minimum
curriculum in 1969. The first mentions of these concepts were found in the curriculum
established during the military dictatorship, a period when citizenship and democracy were not
ensured by the Brazilian government. Therefore, these foundational concepts of journalism
education in Brazil were not achievable when they were first mentioned. Citizenship and
democracy are concepts that are considered ideal in the education of Brazilian journalists, which
justifies the implementation of the DCNs in journalism programs in 2013. However, citizenship
and democracy, as foundational concepts, are not integrally addressed by the bibliographic
references of Journalism Theory courses offered by journalism programs at federal universities
in the Central-West region of Brazil. The results of the bibliographic analysis reveal that these
concepts are partially addressed in theoretical reflections that aim to explain journalism.
Therefore, citizenship and democracy, as foundational elements of journalism theory, have
been neglected by the bibliographic references of Journalism Theory courses.
