The production and consumption of fictional series, especially in the United States, have seen a surge, leading to the emergence of the series culture (SILVA, 2014) and seriaphilia (JOST, 2018). This increase is driven by the complexity of narrative structure (MITTEL, 2006), the current technological context that allows productions to be watched on various platforms and in different settings, and the involvement of specialized groups (MUNGIOLI, 2017). While medical dramas have gained popularity (MEIMARIDIS, 2017), the representation of journalism behind the scenes doesn t receive the same prominence. This paper discusses the portrayal of journalism in the series The Newsroom (2012, Aaron Sorkin) and The Morning Show (2019, Mimi Leder), assessing its realism through theoretical studies and scenes compared with insights from four interviews with professionals. The aim is to understand the construction of journalistic practice in these narratives, taking into account the fundamental role of journalism as a mediator between events that occur in the world and in society.
