This research aims to understand how the process of professionalization of television journalism professionals took place in the city. For this purpose, a qualitative research was conducted, with data collection through in-depth interviews and content analysis from seven categories.

In addition, as advantages, the love of journalism and social contributions to the region. On the other hand, the drop in the requirement of a diploma, low salary and current labor market as negatives points that need to be discussed.
