All this, having as a background, on the one hand, the theory of journalism, while on the other, the narrative. The main objective is to study the complexities and meanings that are established when the narratives of a printed media (Unicom laboratory newspaper) are adapted to an audio media, through audiodescription. In order to do so, a bibliographic research has been carried out on the subject, which contemplated an investigation on audiodescription, narratives and laboratory newspaper. For operational purposes, participant observation has been used as a method, which consists of accompanying, together with journalism undergraduate students, the entire production process of the audiodescript newspaper. From this, the research indicated that the processes of journalistic audiodescription lead to new practices of journalism and require adaptations in its narrative structure and in the strategies of dialog that establishes with its public, especially those who are blind. In addition, this thesis also brings to the discussion the proposal of the informational inclusion of the blind. This study shows the importance of reflection on the topic of communicational accessibility in the academic environment through the point of view of journalistic narratives.
