Abstract

We propose an analytical device for reading of scientific popularization. We specify some characteristics of journalistic
discourse, based on the newsworthiness and scientific journalism for the construction of an analytical device for analysis of
reading scientific popularization texts about physics in the magazines Ciência Hoje and Pesquisa Fapesp. This device was put in place during a reading activity with undergraduate students of physics. The analysis showed specificities of journalistic discourse
on their interpretations, which justify the elaboration of the device.
