Abstract
The author describes the individual characteristics and some attitudes of the journalists of the politic section from four newspapers. The aim is to know the attitude of the journalists toward the role they consider they have in the society, regarding the information and their relation with the politic sources. It is a group that conceives itself as responsible to bring the best information available to make the best decisions. In this sense, they claim that the journalistic profession has a strong social responsibility. However, this commitment has some burdens in very important matters for the journalists that were interviewed by the author: the low wages they have.
