Abstract

The article identifies some historical factors that led Esso Company to approach the journalistic community in the 1950’s. We can highlight, among the company’s strategies, the creation of Esso Reporter, on radio and television, the company’s investment in advertising and the creation of the Esso Award, the most important award given to the Brazilian press. Thus, we can’t ignore the performance of this multinational company on a wider social and political dynamic.
