Abstract

The purpose of this article is to approach Journalism and its practices and epistemic constitution considering two secular natures: the time of Cronos and the time of Aion. In the time of Cronos, practices present in the journalistic mode of selection, edition, cut, readability and circulation focus on the journalism itself considering characteristics such as measure, identity, locality and successively. In the time of Aion, the external and virtual forces constitute journalism in their differences as well as their ‘devires’. Aiming at the future of journalism as creation, this second modality of time presents characteristics like the immoderate, the lack of identity, the concomitance and the displaced.
