Introduction: This study discusses the concept of appropriation of information supported by bibliographic research and critical discussion of works published on the section of letters from readers of printed newspapers. In the following internet databases: Scielo, Google Scholar and BRAPCI portal, in which thirteen scientific papers were selected in Portuguese with the descriptor "reader´s letters" and presented data of applied research, relevant to the approach of this study. Objective: To discuss the concept of appropriation of the information supported in the bibliographic study and critical analysis of published works on the readers' letters section. Methodology: Bibliographical research on reader´s letters and discussion of the selected articles under the analytical bias of the effects of meaning and elements of discourse analysis. Results: The reader's letters are identified as privileged spaces within the information in newspapers for the studies of information appropriation, since they constitute as a place for the expression of the reader subject and a possible zone of observation for the researchers interested in this thematic, because in the reader´s letters it is possible to find the marks of how the reader appropriates the information and the effects of the senses of the reading on him, that is, how he takes the information to his life when he reads. Conclusions: When interacting with the newspaper, texts and other readers, the reader´s letters present the appropriation of the information in progress, as they demonstrate how the reader seizes the information conveyed, how he constructs an understanding of the themes, leaving the marks of who he is and where he is socially and historically.
