How to read this edition

Abstract

Brazilian Journalism Research celebrates, in this issue, ten years of life. We have decided to mark this date with an edition especially dedicated to those who study journalism theories and are worried about central concepts. We have selected 13 articles, among those published in these ten years, and we will propose some reading journeys around certain articulating notions. BJR, which was born in 2005 with a complex mission of connecting Brazilian researchers with the research in journalism performed in international level, had since its beginning a double ambition. On one side, the journal intended to bring forth debates that were being blocked in other parts of the world. On the other side, BJR intended to stimulate the international insertion of Brazilian and hence since the first issue was wholly published in English, in order to facilitate its circulation in several countries and investigating centers. These two goals were accomplished and all the journal content is available for cost-free access in open access system, which characterizes the contemporary Brazilian scientific publication. In these ten years, the journal published 202 articles, both in dossiers and in the free thematic session, and 38 journalistic book reviews. Summing up, 253 authors have already had their articles published. 189 Brazilians and 64 foreigners. This result was possible thanks to the dedication of a large number of collaborators, member of the Editorial Board, partners and invited editors, coordinated by editors Luiz Gonzaga Motta (from 2005 to 2007), Claudia Quadros (from 2008 to 2009), Beatriz Becker (from 2010 to 2011), Kenia Maia (from 2012 to 2013) and Fabio Pereira (from 2013 to 2014). We have prepared this issue having in mind texts with conceptual longevity, which we thought were useful for the researcher HOW TO READ THIS EDITION
