This dissertation has as its objective to investigate the Superinteressante magazine coverage towards to the religious theme and to characterize the type of vision that this publication diffuses about religion. Since the 90 s, the magazine has enlarged the space and frequency of the religious themes on its pages, especially, during the triennium 2000, 2001 and 2002. Starting from this confirmation, we formulate the questions that lead this research: What are the main religious themes that appeared on its pages? Do they reflect, somehow, the spiritual uneasiness from the post-modern society? Does the religion approach made by Superinteressante tend to the spectacle? Does the magazine fulfill a lack in the editorial market, considering that it is a secular publication that frequently deals with religion? Our preliminary suppositions lead to a journalistic coverage of the religious theme that would oscillate from the attempt to go deeper to the transformation of the information into a spectacle, which would reflect the spiritual uneasiness and the type of religiosity that permeates the pots-modern society, with a strong tendency to the elaboration of referential beliefs in a pretty much particular and individual way. In this aspect, the magazine would fulfill, also, a lack in the editorial market while dealing with religion without proselytism, going to contrary direction of the institutional means of communication, which have a confessional tone. To investigate the phenomenon, we have worked with two interpretative lines; one looking toward the content analysis using the multidisciplinary theoretical references indicated by the Science of Religion, based on the work of Guy Debord, Anthony Giddens, Zigmunt Bauman and Gianni Vattimo; and another one looking toward the analysis of the content delimited by Journalism referential. In the first line we have tried to establish specific characteristics of the object of study and in the second one, their general aspects. The first chapter aims to trace a wide profile of the magazine. The second one analyses the reporting contents, giving privilege to Science of Religion s approach. In the third, we look for the counterpoint, with a quantitative analysis under the focus of the Journalism and in the fourth chapter we have the crossing of the two theoretical lines
