Agitação, propaganda e organização política no Jornal A Verdade

Abstract

This study examines the construction of the newspaper "A Verdade" as a counter-hegemonic media outlet, guided by the Leninist conception of the newspaper's role in agitation, propaganda, and political organization. The monograph develops the historical context of the paper, presenting its financial independence from the capitalist logic that sustains large media corporations, as well as its relationship with the organizations that build it. By analyzing the structural elements of this media—from its production to the sale of copies—the study presents the experience of the newspaper’s sales brigades as an endeavor that strengthens its popular and counter-hegemonic character. In doing so, the role of journalism is highlighted as a tool for ideological struggle, used both in the maintenance of hegemony and in the organized struggle of the proletariat.
