This article takes on the experience and narrative of two Brazilian reporters, Helena Salem and Adriana Mabilia, in the coverage of the Palestine question. In different moments, both summarize as books an intense trajectory of reporting on the subject. Palestinians, the new Jews (Palestinos, os novos judeus in the original), published in 1977 by Salem, and Trip to Palestine: outdoor prison (Viagem à Palestina: prisão a céu aberto), published in 2013 by Mabilia, project over time some possible meanings for the conflict between Israeli and Palestinians. The cartography they compose results from the narrative position and the politics of the sources explored by them. Given that both women come from a developing country and are journalists, they are personally interested in problematizing the conditions that made possible the time and space chosen for their exploration. The clues they offer in their narration do not reprise naturalizations on the subject, an effort which allows also for a debate on some aspects of the practice of journalism based on their books.
