Abstract

Based on the theory of ideology and methodological framework of depth hermeneutics, proposed by John B. Thompson, the text aims to analyze how the Brazilian media deals with the matter of the historical memory, which is presented in the 3rd National Program for Human Rights (PNDH-3), based on the assumptions of how the weekly magazines Veja, Época, IstoÉ and CartaCapital talked about this issue. The choice for these mainstream media is due to the fact of the influence and power they exert upon the public opinion, either directly upon their readership, or the assumptions of other media segments, in addition to exerting an important ascendancy on the discussions conducted in the political environment. 

Key words: human rights, media, historical memory, Truth Commission.
