Alheia, displayed in 2010 by Rede Globo. Given the lack of studies on the representation of
the journalist in television series, we present a brief overview of studies that analyze
representations of this professional audiovisual products. The journalist is represented in
many audiovisual media, such as movies, soap operas, TV series and recently in sketches
