Newspapers are inside schools reinforcing the role of reading and writing as components of a school culture, which made us choose the newspaper as an object of study. The focus was the relationship between text and image at the sections dedicated to the popularization of science, by which it is possible to investigate how they establish structures that make certain models of science explicit and enable the development of educational practices. The newspapers that were chosen are of large national circulation. We analyzed the samples from 2006 to 2011, noting that sometimes the structure expressed in the relationship between text and image has markers in order to control polysemy but in other cases they stimulate other possibilities of readings. In the first case a conception of science without a doubt is defined, in the second case another way of understanding science takes place, more speculative and less rigid.
