Visual narratives in a page: the photography and diagramming of the meanings

Abstract

This article is aimed at analyzing the composition of newsmagazine reportage viewed as a creation process and, specifically, determine its intervention in the meanings of photography. The resulting news diagram and visual narratives reflect the editorial concept of the publication meanwhile speeches are enhanced. Photoreporting appeared in Brazil after the years 40, and marked the start of modern photographic journalism. The piece of a photoreporting entitled 4 a 1 published by O Cruzeiro magazine is intended to be analyzed here. A photoreporting covering a mere soccer match between a São Paulo and a Rio de Janeiro team discloses how diagramming seeks to reset news timing and how the meanings in Jean Manzon images are extended beyond the pages.
