Abstract
Em 2006 é fundada a International Association for Literary Journalism Studies dedicada ao estudo do jornalismo literário (ou reportagem literária). Dois anos depois a associação realiza no ISCSP, em Lisboa, a terceira edição da sua conferência anual sobre a tutela de dois dos seus membros fundadores: as professoras Isabel Soares e Alice Trindade. Em 2014 surge a primeira tese de Mestrado inteiramente dedicada ao tema do jornalismo literário Português e em 2018 a primeira tese de Doutoramento, neste caso com um foco mais acentuado no campo de análise nacional e com entrevistas a alguns jornalistas literários portugueses. Ainda assim e apesar do crescimento do estudo e análise desta temática, a história do jornalismo literário Português ainda carece de
uma análise formal e aprofundada. Uma das possíveis explicações deve-se ao facto de o jornalismo literário ser ainda hoje confundido em larga parte com aquilo que chamamos de escrita criativa e/ou literatura não-ficcional. Talvez a definição mais simples de jornalismo literário pertença a Pedro Rosa Mendes que definiu como: “Literary reportage is an engagement with reality with a novelist’s eye but with a journalist’s discipline.” Tendo isto em conta propõe-se com esta análise desenvolver e explorar o conceito de jornalismo literário e delinear uma possível estrutura para a sua história em Portugal. Para isso será importante primeiro ter em conta os académicos mais preponderantes da atualidade nesta temática como John Bak, Norman Sims, entre outros. Em
segundo lugar, é fundamental analisar alguns dos jornalistas literários portugueses de hoje em dia como Paulo Moura, Susana Moreira Marques, entre outros. Por fim, será importante delinear um caminho para a história do jornalismo literário português, assim como justificar o contributo que este estudo poderá trazer para futuras análises que pretendam ter em conta as diferentes vozes e vertentes do jornalismo nacional.

Two years later the third edition of its annual conference takes place at ISCSP, in Lisbon, under the organization of two of its funding members: professors Isabel Soares and Alice Trindade. In 2014 the first Master thesis entirely dedicated to Portuguese literary journalism is published and in 2018 the
first PhD thesis, this time focusing more on a national analysis through interviews with a number of Portuguese literary journalists. Still and despite the growing number of studies and analysis on the subject, the history of Portuguese literary journalism is yet to be formally analyzed and explored. A possible explanation could be connected to the fact that literary journalism is still widely confused in what we call, in large part, as creative writing and/or non-fictional literature.
Perhaps the simplest of definitions for literary journalism belongs to Pedro Rosa Mendes that defined it as: “Literary reportage is an engagement with reality with a novelist’s eye but with a journalist’s discipline.” With this in mind the following analysis is aiming to develop and explore the concept of literary journalism and at the same time try and create a possible structure for its history in Portugal. To do this it is important to first consider the preeminent academics on the
subject nowadays like John Bak, Norman Sims, and others. Secondly, it is imperative that we analyze the Portuguese literary journalism of today, like Paulo Moura, Susana Moreira Marques, among others. Lastly, it is important to be able to outline a path towards the history of Portuguese literary journalism, as well as justify the contribute that such a study can bring to future analyses that wish to take into account the different voices and sides of Portuguese journalism.
