This work aims to achieve a rhetorical analysis of the argumentation of journalism through excerpts of the speech said by the character of the television reporter Edward R. Murrow at two times of transmission of the TV show See It Now, portrayed in the movie Good Night and Good Luck (2005), and to verify if the content of these arguments is, essentially, technical and legitimating order based on the Rhetorical Discourse Theory (TRD). This film work deals with the period that, during the first days of broadcast journalism in the 50s, in the United States, the reporter fights the McCarthyism excesses made in the investigations against communism led by the Senator Joseph McCarthy. In an attempt to clarify the facts to the audience, Murrow and his team perform a work of news production based on the search and transmission of information and opinions that go against the senator s actions. Considering that See It Now was a program that allowed the incursion of his presenter s views and it was transmitted in time dedicated to a more specialized public (audience), it is understood that the proposal argumentation presented a theoretical based on the knowledge (technical data, logos) and on the image of the speaker (ethos). This investigation process happens on the basis of theoretical and methodological model of TRD that supports on classical rhetoric and it incorporates some principles of other theories about discourse. The TRD presupposes as the main attribute of the argumentation the proposition of a thesis that the speaker seeks adhesion. In this context, it is understood that Murrow, as representative of journalism in this film work, works to make the audience join the thesis that propose through this argumentation more focused on the technique and legitimacy, contemplated in the Dimension Evidential of the Argumentation (ethos , pathos and logos), referring to the thesis justification. The other two dimensions that TRD predicted are the Aesthetics and Politics. The first is about the discursive development of argumentation to attract the audience attention through the extra resources and the second refers to the negotiation of the relations of power between the rhetorical subjects. The main authors that base this research are Aristóteles (2005), Dittrich (2003, 2005, 2008, 2009), Berger (2002), Marcondes Filho (2009), Melo (2009), Traquina (2005), with respect to rhetoric, to TRD and to the journalistic language, respectively. It was noticed in this research, that besides the effectuation of initial hypothesis, there was the discovery of a significant presence of sensitizer arguments (pathos Evidential Dimension) over the course of one of the stages of analysis. It was also observed the need to continue this research in order to add the analytical possibilities stemming from Aesthetics and Politics Dimensions, that should include other possibilities that permeate the discourse on screen.
