In addition, we present an overview of the emergence and evolution of the TV series in USA, very popular today and available to the public through a variety of channels, which implies the importance of their understanding. / Neste trabalho investigamos a construção da personagem do jornalista em The Newsroom, série de TV do canal norte-americano HBO, comparando-a com a representação desse profissional no cinema. Além disso, apresentamos um panorama do surgimento e evolução das próprias séries televisivas nos Estados Unidos, hoje muito populares e disponíveis para o público por meio de uma variedade de canais, o que implica na importância do seu entendimento.

[pt] A produção e consumo de seriados ficcionais, especialmente nos Estados Unidos, têm crescido, resultando no surgimento da cultura das séries (SILVA, 2014) e da seriefilia (JOST, 2018). Esse aumento é impulsionado pela complexidade da estrutura narrativa (MITTEL, 2006), o contexto atual tecnológico que permite que as produções sejam assistidas em vários suportes e ambientes e pelo surgimento de grupos especializados (MUNGIOLI, 2017). Enquanto os dramas médicos têm ganhado popularidade (MEIMARIDIS, 2017), a representação dos bastidores jornalísticos não recebe o mesmo destaque. O presente trabalho discute a representação do jornalismo nas séries The Newsroom (2012, Aaron Sorkin) e The Morning Show (2019, Mimi Leder) verificando a verossimilhança por meio de estudos teóricos e cenas cotejadas com quatro entrevistas com profissionais. O objetivo é compreender a construção da prática jornalística nessas narrativas, considerando o papel fundamental do jornalismo como mediador entre eventos que ocorrem no mundo e na sociedade. / [en] The production and consumption of fictional series, especially in the United States, have seen a surge, leading to the emergence of the series culture (SILVA, 2014) and seriaphilia (JOST, 2018). This increase is driven by the complexity of narrative structure (MITTEL, 2006), the current technological context that allows productions to be watched on various platforms and in different settings, and the involvement of specialized groups (MUNGIOLI, 2017). While medical dramas have gained popularity (MEIMARIDIS, 2017), the representation of journalism behind the scenes doesn t receive the same prominence. This paper discusses the portrayal of journalism in the series The Newsroom (2012, Aaron Sorkin) and The Morning Show (2019, Mimi Leder), assessing its realism through theoretical studies and scenes compared with insights from four interviews with professionals. The aim is to understand the construction of journalistic practice in these narratives, taking into account the fundamental role of journalism as a mediator between events that occur in the world and in society.

In its serial space, David Simon’s The Wire season two relates the seemingly “disconnected” union men, foreign sex worker women, and African-American drug traders and crosses constructed boundaries of race, gender, sexuality, and geography to evoke the possibility of a transnational working class. The Wire’s serialized narrative trespasses the limitations of money and numbers games and of individual characters to build, scene by scene, what Roderick Ferguson calls in Aberrations in Black: Toward a Queer of Color Critique “the location for new and emergent identifications and social relations” (108).
