This work intends to locate and to explore the complexities of
some classical moral dilemmas in human history considering two
paradigms as references: Antigone’s, created by Sophocles; and
Gacel Sayah’s, created by Vázquez-Figueroa. The work situates
both historical and contemporary dilemmas of journalism and
points out examples furnished by professionals in activity and
academic experts. At the same time, it relates immediate conflicts to particularities of journalistic activity – from the historical perspective of consolidation of values to the present scenario of professional journalism in both Cyberspace and the Information Society (in which ethics, techniques and aesthetics try to structure the perspective of moral convergence in order to support the activity and its social credibility and legitimacy).
