Over the past years, Communication Media produced in Brazil has mainly and primarily been conceived and performed by a few oligopolies that, functioning as strong networks, end up by withholding actual power over what ordinary people should or should not know. Thus, media seems to have been serving as the only source for the country’s population is informed, form opinions and be entertained. This situation results from the fact that other social and political institutions, such as Education and the State itself, seem not to be adequately and effectively fulfilling their basic role. The present paper aims at studying the most relevant aspects of the Institutional Campaign designed to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the local newspaper, Zero Hora, the most representative printed matter of the RBS1 Group. The largest communication network in the south of Brazil, RBS owns 64% of all Communication Media in its southernmost states: Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. Our objective is to study the mentioned 40th Anniversary Campain’s Ideosphere, called Esta é uma história real [This is a real story], from the TV advertisements shown by RBS, in 2004. We have based our analysis on Roland Barthes’ assumptions, and on the following categories: a priori, Stereotype, Fait Divers, Power, Culture, Ideosphere and Discourse. In order to proceed to such analysis, we have used the Structural Historical Dialectics – SHD – method. Our approach is Semiotic, based on some Semiological Research. Furthermore, we try to understand the ideological role of Fait Divers, as a signifier, an invariant from RBS’s Encratic Discourse, found within the basis of the present Culture and in its Power relation way of functioning, which give support to the present Ideosphere.
