Abstract

Mario Filho is considered the main reference for Brazilian sporting journalism. The aim of this paper is to investigate how it was established the affirmation that this agent would be the “inventor” of modern sporting journalism. Following some “traces”, especially the analysis of sporting chronicles, it was concluded that it was mainly in Rio de Janeiro that Mario Filho became a sport’s celebrity. On the other hand, his reach was limited in other centers. Regarding the recurrent transmission that the journalist was the “inventor” of modern sporting journalism, it’s important to emphasize the effort made by renowned journalists, intellectuals and artists. Within this group, the most committed was his own brother, Nelson Rodrigues.
