The starting point is three theoretical strands of practice: 1. Functionalism, where the studies of journalistic routines are located, which contributed to a view of the repetitive acts of; 2. Theory of practice that, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, returned the actor to the social process; and 3. Theory of journalistic practice, that,more recently, brings together and develops four elements: practice, performance, the environment and order and change. To move forward, an epistemological turn is proposed, guided by Foucauldian practices and concepts in journalism, which makes possible to centralize the research axis in listening to the subjects of production, more punctually, in how they are affected by the functioning of power relations. Subjectivity and resistance actions, described in interviews, find epistemological resonance in Foucault’s thinking and practices, as a journalist. In these terms, to interrogate the functioning of journalistic practice supposes an analysis of the subjects’ action, taking into account the following elements: the practice and the discursive awareness of the agents,the procedures of discursive control, resistance and criticism of journalistic practices.
