Afterwards, there is a mapping of Research Groups at the CNPq (National Council for Scientifi c and Technological Development) Directory. Finally, the production presented over the last fi ve years at the Research Group of Journalism Studies at Compós(National Association of Graduate Programs in Communication) is listed.
