Description
Summary:This theoretical study points out the relationship between the field of Literary Journalism Studies and journalistic coverage of daily events. Of common, ordinary nature, they tend to be seen as trivial events, which are not perceived by journalistic institutions as having news potential. As its main reference, it employs classic authors in the field (Bak, Castro, Keeble, Lima, Passos and Sims, among others), highlighting the contributions of Kramer. As a result, this immersion in the interviewees' daily life allows, on the one hand, to delve in an intimate way into the more subjective aspects and issues of the events. On the other hand, it provides a dense connection with the social, economic and historical issues in which the interviewees are involved.
