Qual é o seu Corre?”: Um livro-reportagem sobre as histórias de vinte corredores de Juiz de Fora

Abstract

This paper presents the creation process of the series of reports "Qual é seu corre", originally published in the newspaper Tribuna de Minas, which brings together journalistic profiles of runners from the city of Juiz de Fora. The journalistic profile is defined as an approach that values subjectivity and proximity between the journalist and the source, distinguishing itself from a biography by focusing on specific moments in the interviewee’s life. Thus, by bringing this journalistic genre into sports journalism, the aim was to humanize the athletes' narratives, highlighting emotional and everyday aspects.This monograph is divided into two parts. The first presents the theoretical foundation on journalistic profiles and describes the production process of the reports. The second part features the twenty profiles that make up the series. At the end of the work, I came to the conclusion that humanized journalism, the kind that shows people's faces, is fundamental and should be more valued by communications companies.
