ABSTRACT
The present research aimed to carry out a literature review in order to identify the production on media developed by the field of Psychology in Brazil. Therefore, surveys were made in national databases, using two combinations of descriptors: media and psychology; communication and psychology. Through the survey it was possible to verify the meager production on the subject. Through the analysis of articles, authors and institutions that stand out in the production of knowledge on the subject were identified. It was also possible to verify that the media appears in the articles both as an object of study and as an instrument for collecting information. The analysis showed that interest of Psychology in researching the media has increased over the past decade. In recent years, the digital medium has gained prominence among research. Finally, it is hoped that this research, in addition to presenting an overview of the academic production of Brazilian Psychology on media, can point out the gaps, indicating new and urgent research possibilities on the interface between media and Psychology.
