Abstract

In the late nineteenth century to the twentieth, at Rio de Janeiro, the experience of working with the press occurs in the movement of expansion of literacy in the media circuit, with obvious tensions that have marked this process. This article covers the spatial distribution of those newspapers and its newsrooms and thus analyzes the performance thereof as an organization of spaces and public affirmation of the presence of workers in the city. This work also highlights the initiatives for the production and collection of historical evidence within this press, trying to understand it as affirmation strategies of workers’ identities and legitimizing their memories and stories.
