SUMMARY:

The main objective of this study is to understand how the love of blackness operates as a decolonization tool in the field of journalism. I consider the concept of love as stated by Maturana & Varela (1995): a possibility of looking at the other as an equal. From bell hooks (2019), I understand that the love for Blackness is a tool of political resistance that transforms our ways of seeing and being creates the necessary conditions for us to move against the forces of death and domination that take over Black lives. Based on these approaches, and in the social understanding pointed out by bell hooks (2019) that the purpose of racism is for Black people to have a way of looking and seeing the world that denies their value, I treat initially: how are the affective, conflictive and moral crossings caused by the experiences of racism in the community of black journalists; and how the love of Blackness was incorporated into the experience of the studied community, analyzing how this feeling materializes and is potentiated in the life and daily life of its members. Finally, I want to address two basic questions: if, while  the decolonization of the media, Black journalists need to decolonize themselves; and, if that is the case how decolonization of racist perspectives towards the field of journalism is put into practice. For that, I used the topical life story (SALTALAMACCHIA, 1992; BONI e QUARESMA, 2005; NOGUEIRA et al., 2017) and the semi-structured interview   (BONI e QUARESMA, 2005) as ethnographic techniques (PEIRANO, 1995; MATTOS, 2011). Based on the experience of Black journalists, I seek for a broader understanding of how the transformation in media takes place from an anti-racist position. With listening to the social actors involved, I seek to obtain, beyond a form of objective knowledge, the wisdom that destabilizes and disturbs (INGOLD, 2019) the structures of the status quo, blackening the sight, the thinking, the being, and the social practices.
