RESUMO

This Master Dissertation is a result of the records and analysis of the interaction between children and journalistic vehicles addressed to them: their opinions about the material, their reading practices and, in a final moment, their ways of making a journalism they consider qualified to other children. It takes as main reference Roger Chartier´s theory, which argues that reading is always a sense production and that is necessary to investigate the reader not only based on what he consumes, but on how he consumes. The fieldwork was carried out through weakly workshops, with three-month duration, in two schools with different realities: a public one, located in Leblon, and a private one, in Barra da Tijuca. In a total, 59 nine children, with ages around 11 years old, took part on this research, divided in groups of 15 to 20 students. Based on the records of these children speeches about the print material offered to them and the observation of their reading practices, the purpose of this study was to understand how they relate to newspapers and magazines; how they read print journalistic vehicles addresses to children, especially Recreio magazine and Globinho section; which considerations they make about the text, the images and the themes brought by these special vehicles; and what they do with the information they are exposed to. The results were analyzed through Roger Chartier´s theory and latinamerican reception studies, which understand the media consumer - the reader, in this case - as an active, selective and informed individual. The analyses of the workshops´ records indicate that these children have a great interest on news, but mostly news written for adults. Having a good knowledge of media, even print media, these students say that the most interesting information for them is not necessarily on newspaper sections or magazines addressed to children.
