Abstract

This article is based upon a research for my communication’s thesis defended in 2006 (ECA-USP).

The document concludes that TV – responsible for most part of the information received by Brazilians, and also a public concession – must respect the most important society’s goals, adjusting TV listings the constitutional commandment of civil rights education, contributing, effectively, for the social inclusion of millions of excluded all around the country.
