Resumo
With a newsroom installed in Vitória, capital of the State of Espírito Santo, with strictly regional
journalistic agendas and regional competition, that is, with a marked physical-geographical
territorial link, but with circulation, consumption and recirculation in the symbolic territory of
the network society's communication, the digital newspaper Século Diário from Espírito Santo
self-titled “independent with a focus on the interpretative view of facts” is the theme of this
study. Initially, from the epistemological discussion about the alternative / popular /
independent aspects, this work aims, under the critical-dialectical view, to provide clues about
the place of meaning construction that, in this first scientific work breaking with the culture of
silence in the academy, it is verified by a brief analysis of the structural aspects together with
the news production of the newspaper giving the tone of “independence” to the Daily Century
newspaper in the scene of regional socio-discursive disputes. Founded in March 2000,
originated from the discontinued SÉCULO magazine, a printed vehicle with predominant
characteristics of traditional media, both Revista Século and Século Diário, were idealized by
the first photojournalist from ES, Rogério Medeiros, whose performance with a progressive
vision in different intervention spaces politics, such as the founding of Sindijornalistas-ES, PTES and as a mentor of the Rubem Braga Law to encourage culture in Vitória, is confused with
the own identity of the independent Século Diário. The agendas on the Environment (analyzed
editorial), the "flagship" of both vehicles that symbolize the struggle for respect for life and
mother-earth, converge in the trajectory of the founder himself with popular social movements.
Editorially, as an alternative to the silencing of declaratory journalism by the mainstream
traditional regional media, Século Diário presents itself as interpretive, humanistic critical
journalism, which enables and problematizes the reality of the margins based on banners to
fight in a positive representation of ethnic minorities and traditional peoples, retelling history
from the narrative on the side of the overcomed and/or forgotten, as outlined by the frankfurtian
Walter Benjamin, and in the defense of human rights. Symbol of resistance, Daily Century
survives in the confrontation of legal violence due to the number of lawsuits, attempts to silence
(censorship) by the State apparatus against the digital newspaper, which, ending in financial
violence (asphyxiation with escape of advertisers), inevitably affected sustainability and
resulted in the departure of the “hard core” of the newsroom in 2017 and changes in the
journalistic business model.
