Abstract

The article analyse the relationship between mass media and contemporary popular culture in the context of social inequality and citizenship building. From the study about the messages conveyed by print journalism and audiovisual in Brazil, the research demonstrates the tutelary role assumed by these media when the audience involves popular contexts. So, change the meaning of communication between the media and their receptors. Instead of talking to or with popular audiences, the media speaks for them or on their behalf.
