PERELMAN, Flora Beatriz; NAKACHE, Débora  y  ESTEVEZ, Vanina. Children conceptualizations about the production of news. Anu. investig. [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.2, pp.363-373. ISSN 1851-1686.

We present a research whose goals are first, inquire children conceptualizations about the production of news, and, second, explore teaching situations that allow critical readings of messages communicated in media news. We analyze the results of the first goal through Relational Constructivism and Critical Theory of Discourse. The data used was drawings by individuals and groups about news production as well as classroom observations. We collected 215 individuals' drawings, 29 group drawings and 14 observations in public and private schools. The first results show a progressive approach to the object of study that has to do with conceptualizations focused in more visible instances (breaking news, media events, communications in media devices) to those that are generally invisibilized by media companies (the production process). The progress, linked to partipation in mediated social practices, allows for the passage from a conception of "news as a mirror of reality" to the idea of "news as a possible interpretation of the world, liable to be questioned".
