Theorentical-methodological considerations in the study od video-journalism´s spectacle

Abstract

This article aims at introducing the reader into the theoretical-methodological debate about the study of the spectacle in journalism, especially in video-journalism. We will initially discuss some fundamental concepts for the understanding of the theme according to the considerations by authors who are concerned with studying the communication process. Later, we will make an analysis of the possible approaches to the subject. Finally, some conclusions about those analyses will be presented.
