This research approaches the journalistic work, understanding it from the perspective of immaterial labor and as a producer of stuff in the Culture Industry, understood in its structural place in capitalist society. We discuss journalism and professionals in this area of activity on the development of this society and its relations with the common knowledge in dialogue with the world of life and the world of work. We also reflect on the knowledge that permeates the profession, related to professional culture and expectations of different actors interested in propagation of journalistic information, such as the State and the market. We argue that the way to produce this information, based on all kinds of information that circulate in society is sustained on a model of journalism that was consolidated by the development of capitalism. We intend to show how the product of this activity, the news - in addition to being itself the subjective interpretation of the producer, based on the immediate, fragmented and reified reality -, is constituted from the contradiction between different interests on this information, the limits imposed by the routine production, a specific parameter of social importance and validity, which is historical and social, from the requirements of the consumer market and others. We pointed out that some of these contradictions can be identified in the National Curriculum Guidelines for the degree courses in Journalism, established by the Ministry of Education in 2013, through a critical analysis of this document. The Guidelines, besides indicating another journalism relation with knowledge, this time, academic, refers to the formalization by the State of journalism professional requirements to meet the general demands and accomplish their social role. The Guidelines refer to the result of disputes over the legitimacy and recognition of the profession throughout history, which is based on a specific proposal of what should be the journalist and the news because of the needs of capitalism, of its society and its typical conflicts. All these discussions are made dialectically and the proposals and theoretical concepts are not separated from the method and are constituted in the development of all research.
