Realidade
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Realidade (Reality) was a Brazilian magazine published by Editora Abril between 1966 and 1976.[1] It was considered a mark in Brazilian journalism at the time, presenting in-depth stories, first-person reporting and nontraditional graphic design.
Throughout its existence, the magazine has gone through three different phases.
Realidade was established by Editora Abril in 1966.[2][3] The first phase of the magazine, from 1966 to 1968,[4] was probably the most notable, when the moment's issues, often controversial, were addressed in detailed articles inspired by New Journalism, in a structure with narrative focus. In their articles, the journalists had complete freedom to write the texts in first person, enter dialogues with dashes, making detailed descriptions of places, objects and features. Moreover, it was possible to switch the focus of the narrative of omnipresent observer to witness or participant in the events.
December 1968 would bring the hardening of the military regime, when the Institutional Act nº 5 (AI- 5) was decreed, establishing press censorship in Brazil. That month's edition marked the end of the best period of Realidade, according to its reporters José Marão and José Hamilton Ribeiro.[5]
