Abstract

Considering the importance of journalism in people's lives and their ability to reinforce standards, highlight social norms, and confer prestige on certain groups and subjects, this research seeks who should be represented as a citizen of Uberlândia in the publications of the journal Almanaque. Within the methodology of Content Analysis (BARDIN, 2010), the paper proposes to analyze the subjects cited and mentioned by the journal, considering the use of the sources as a form of maintenance of power and the established social structure. 15 editions of the journal Almanaque were analyzed, from which 15 journalistic profiles were selected, of which 269 subjects were found, among sources and personalities, cited and mentioned. The analysis took into account the categories: font type, classification, sex, color and occupation. Among the results, it can be seen that the citizens of Uberlandia are represented in the Almanaque, mostly by male subjects, white and exercising political occupation.
