This paper aims to analyze two printed newspapers founded at the beginning of the 20th century, in order to observe the presence and the performance of these newspapers in the construction of events around the emancipation of Juazeiro. We analyzed the newspapers Correio do Cariry (1904-1912), from the city of Crato (CE), and O Rebate (1909-1911), considered the first periodical of Juazeiro do Norte (CE). Both the vehicles starred an intense political clash, during the period that the, at that time, district of Juazeiro formulated its request of municipal autonomy from Crato (1910). From a theoretical reflection on the analysis of the influence of the media in the construction of the senses, it was analyzed how the journalistic discourse of those newspapers contributed to the process of constitution of new representations (CHARTIER, 2012) and identities (BHABHA, 1998), (HALL, 2003, 2007), (WOODWARD, 2007) of those localities. It was also analyzed how newspapers used rhetorical (PERELMAN; TYTECA, 2005) and ideological strategies (THOMPSON, 2011) to guide events in the course of the struggle around the emancipation of Juazeiro. The methodology selected was Discourse Analysis, of French tradition, because it allows the observation of discourses as inseparable constructions of production, relating both the internal scope and the external one. From the methodological concepts of some authors such as CHARAUDEAU (2006, 2012), ORLANDI (1996, 1999), MAINGUENEAU (2008, 2011), VERÓN (1980, 2004), for Discourse Analysis, we seek, from reading and interpretation of the strategies used in the discourse of the newspapers, make it possible to translate the way that the journalists perceived the events and how they interacted with their opponents during the period of the clash between the vehicles. At the end of the work, it is concluded that O Rebate discourse focused his defense on the emancipation of Juazeiro from the city of Crato, articulating the idea of local economic development and exalting the strength of its main leader, Father Cicero. In its turn, the Correio do Cariry defended the maintenance of Juazeiro as a district of Crato, creating an imagery of terror about the village and rejecting its "patriarch" (father Cicero).
