Abstract

This research aims to conduct a study of the journalistic content, focusing on the gastronomic coverage, of the newspaper Folha de São Paulo, between 1988 and 1996. The proposition is based on reading and analysis of the periodic seeking to identify recurring features of its food journalism coverage, such as: approach; themes; text genres; use of images; culinary, food and gastronomic trends; professionals involved; locals and sources cited; spatial integration of the section in the newspaper. The project also aims to observe how this coverage has been modified according to the context in which it was happening.
