Abstract

The project of research presented here intends to study how the online diaries, as known as blogs, contribute to the work of the international correpondents (journalists who live abroad) and how this discussion reflects in the newspaper that they are hosted on. To verify this problem, the project studies the content of the news related to politics of the blogs "Os Hermanos", from O Estado de São Paulo, and "Pelo Mundo", from Folha de São Paulo, such as the way that these discussions occur in the newspaper.
