In more than a century of history, the relationship with the press in organizations in Brazil has been transformed, was claimed by different areas of communication and gained shape and strength in the labor market. However, the activity still needs legal foundation and academic reflection. It seems to result in a juridical insecurity and it has direct impact on the formation of professionals who will build their careers in the area. In order to collaborate with this discussion, the objective of this research is to reconstruct the trajectory of the press relationship in Brazil, using the memory and orality of some of the people that took part in this story. The research tries to understand the collective action (BECKER, 1977) of the professionals, as someone that is on deviance and carries a stigma, inside the space of possibilities in which they were inserted. Based on the considerations, the investigation intends to establish itself as premises to reflect on the organizational communication connected with the labor market needs, offering a diagnosis of the area. Thus, to propose ways to understand and unify areas that are historically separated: labor market, legislation and academy in order to contribute to communication studies and help to improve the qualification of professionals to work in the sector.
