SUMMARY:

This research has as its central point the authority of the public in journalistic production, understanding this concept as the possibility of interference by society, through the news consumers, in the editorial line of communication vehicles. One of the existing instruments to make this process viable is the press ombudsman, although it lacks sanctioning power against companies or journalists who make mistakes and whose function is commonly questioned due to the supposed lack of independence, autonomy and practical effect in journalistic coverage. This dissertation will seek to assess, based on two categories of indicators, what the reader's ears think about criteria normally associated with notions that guide the quality of journalism, such as objectivity, neutrality, impartiality and balance, in addition to attesting whether their activity really enables the public to have a satisfactory or full impact on news production. For this purpose, Folha de S. Paulo ombudsman reports produced in all Brazilian presidential elections since 1989 are heard, which resulted in the evaluation of more than 160 texts. This trajectory is supported by theories propagated by authors such as Jürgen Habermas, Hans- Georg Gadamer, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Charles Peirce, Herbert J. Gans and Mikhail Bakhtin (philosophy of communication, language, journalistic discourse, normative self-understanding of the media, public authority, public and public opinion), John Soloski, Harvey Molotch& Marilyn Lester, Michael
Schudson, Gaye Tuchmann, Warren Breed, Edward Herman, Miquel Rodrigo Alsina and Stuart Hall (journalism theories, constructivism, objectivity, ideology in media discourse and professionalization of journalism), in addition to paradigmatic authors on ideology (such as Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, Louis Althusser, MarilenaChauí, John B. Thompson and Terry Eagleton) and on deontology, ethics and the ombudsman institute (such as Daniel Cornu, PedrinhoGuareschi, CaioTúlio Costa and Jairo Faria Mendes). The result, in addition to being very up-to-date, considering that it also focused on the 2022 election between Lula and Bolsonaro, also contains reflections on paths for the ombudsman and media criticism in times of greater access by readers to
other forms of interaction with the media. of communication.
