Abstract

The article explores the question of the knowledge of objective reality by journalism. Comparing the loss of meaning of the real expressed both in irrationalist hegemony in the digital territory and in important hegemonic thought currents of journalism studies, the text points to news praxis as a form of knowledge immersed in a class society, evaluating its power in pursuit of concreteness. For this, it takes the perspective of the ontology of social being in Marx to debate the possibility of knowledge of objectivity, investigating the peculiarities of journalism in the conceptual building of materialist dialectic. Thus, it presents a critical ontological characterization for one of the central problems of journalism in the context of 21st century digital capitalism.
