摘要:I found in this paper an excellent opportunity to reflect one more time concerning some experiences during my master’s degree, a study about newsmaking made in a news program of a big Brazilian company of media. Since the empirical phase I have been thinking of writing about some methodological issues and experiences as a researcher. Having my formation in the Communication area and having supported my methodological procedures in ethnography, Anthropological method par excellence, has already instigated several issues that were more difficultly faced, on and off the fieldwork. But also the choice of investigate symbolic processes present in the news production, especially guided by concepts originated from gender and feminist studies, caused many other challenges, for the research and for the researcher. Four years passed the field research experience, I restore this desire and dare to share here a first look about this questions and their results in my formation, as well as in the study that I developed. Key words: journalism, gender, ethnography, power.
