MICHEL, Caroline Braga  and  ARRIADA, Eduardo. The educational mission to Uruguay: what the newspapers A Federação and Correio do Povo say. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2016, vol.41, n.2, pp.447-458. ISSN 1984-6444.  https://doi.org/10.5902/10.5902/1984644416155.

This paper aims to discuss how the educational mission sent to Uruguay by the governor of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Antonio Augusto Borges de Medeiros, was addressed by the local press. To this end, the issues of the years 1913 and 1914 of two newspapers were taken for analysis: A Federação and Correio do Povo. Results showed an interest of government authorities in reporting through such newspapers the ongoing educational mission sent to the neighboring country. Apart from the interest of the real possibility of leveraging education in the State, the Republican government also sought to sell the image of a modern and efficient administration, concerned with the direction to be taken by the State.

Keywords : A Federação (The Federation); Correio do Povo (People's Post); Educational Mission.
