The article analyzes the dispositions, perceptions and values of journalists interviewed by Brazilian documentary “O Mercado de Notícias” [“The Staple of News”] (Jorge Furtado/2014/94 min). The analysis is based on the theoretical-conceptual framework of Pierre Bourdieu's sociological thinking. Some of the main excerpts from the testimonies of the 13 professional agents invited by the filmmaker are studied and categorized to explain the representations they have about the journalistic field.
