Studies on history of education that uses the press as a primary or secondary source is increasing significantly and contributed greatly to an understanding that the historical processes are mediated and are part of a totality. Using other sources other than specifically of those of the school context assists to the comprehension of the permanency and ruptures of current educational processes, because it points out to debates and the resonance of the same social context, giving subsidies to the understanding of social, political, economic and cultural relations. Having as theoretical presupposition the historical materialism, this article aims to present a proposal for the analysis of the press as a source for the history of education. For this purpose, firstly notes will be taken about the press as a research source and then a proposition for the analysis of the press. It is important to emphasize that there’s no ready recipe, each researcher makes his own way and choices, there is no right or wrong, only choices, so we don't fall in a reductive determinism or don’t be strict in the practices or representations in itself or for itself.
