ABSTRACT
In this paper, which aims to discuss protagonism and language, we focus on interviews with the editor of the newspaper O Trecheiro and a text published in the same newspaper. These data illustrate issues of discursive access central to the debate of protagonism in language. The authorial position of texts with access to discursive spaces is a crucial aspect when linking protagonism and language. For this reason, analyzing how the objective position of author is subjectively occupied is relevant to understanding the role of an alternative media vehicle in promoting change in society.
