Resumo: Recent science journalism studies have found a non-critical and reverential discourse as well as a reductionist perspective that restricts researches to its finished conclusions, concepts and products. Based on the hypothesis that such features are related to conventional journalism’s core paradigms, we analyze a science reportage by Richard Preston, “The Mountains of Pi”, written from literary journalism principles and techniques. As we have found, it promotes a distinct understanding of science by opening black-boxes, in the latourian sense, and by narrating work processes and the historic development of concepts, and, albeit the author assumes for himself his characters’ cause, his textual elaboration allows for the reader to make his own impressions about science.

Partiendo de la hipótesis de que esos factores están ligados a los presupuestos del periodismo convencional, analizamos la reportaje “The Mountains of Pi”, de Richard Preston, elaborada a partir de las técnicas y principios del periodismo literario. Avaluamos que el texto promueve una comprensión diferenciada de la ciencia por abrir cajas negras, en el sentido latouriano, y mostrar procesos de trabajo y desarrollo histórico de conceptos y que, mismo que el autor asuma la causa de los entrevistados, l construcción textual permite que el lector construya sus propias impresiones.Estudos recentes em jornalismo científico apontam uma postura acrítica e reverência em relação aos pesquisadores, bem como a redução da realidade da pesquisas às conclusões, produtos e conceitos acabados.
