Abstract

In the year that Mário Mesquita's (1950-2022) book of reference, O quarto equívoco - O poder dos media na sociedade contemporânea (The fourth equivocation – The power of the media in contemporary society) (MinervaCoimbra, 2003), celebrates two decades, this issue of the journal Comunicação Pública collects studies that focus on the transversality of the themes covered in the author’s work. With the main objective of encouraging the continued problematization and public discussion to which Mário Mesquita has made a fundamental contribution, this special edition reveals how his thinking and work as a researcher remain significant and continue to open countless possibilities for studying media and journalism.
