No rastro de Hilton, esbarrei na minha existência: diário de uma jornalista em sua primeira grande reportagem

Abstract

This work consists of a profile designed in the mold of literary journalism, about the trajectory of the journalist of João Pessoa Hilton Gouvêa, who has been in the press of Paraiba for more than four decades and is considered one of the resisters in the art of reporting in the state. The report-profile was drafted in a diary format, telling the insecurities of a first-time reporter and her involvement with the agenda. To reconstruct the main passages of the story of the character, features such as flashbacks, scene-by-scene descriptions, perspective changes, worked dialogues, life status, and even stream of consciousness were used in the narrative. During the investigation into an attack that the personal reporter suffered in the 1990s, due to a journalistic coverage that he did at the time, the researcher ended up coming to the details of a tragic murder in her own family, occurred when she was still a child, that influenced her entire life trajectory. The narrative, therefore, also gained an autobiographical outline.
