| Summary: | In the first half of the twentieth century, modern journalism mediated collective factual directions necessary for the construction of the nation’s projects. Taking the historical assumptions by Géraldine Muhlmann (2008) regarding unifying, decentralizing journalism as a starting point, this article discusses how Monteiro Lobato journalistically represented issues involving a national project in his narrative Problema Vital (1918). We conclude that the literary journalist condemned the Brazilian national crisisby omitting information on data concerning foreign countries and interpreting the scenario in the hinterland of the country with its lack of public sanitation. |
