This research examines the degree of interference of the audiovisual news in the human perception of time. In the contemporary environment, where the media define their own temporal scales, new temporal relations can be established between the individual viewer and the news consumed. Quite changeable and eventually anything similar, such externally delimited time intervals interact with the internal timeline of the subject. Thus, the present work undertakes an interdisciplinary reflection about (i) the way of demarcation and consolidation of time by the news; (ii) the way oscillates advances and retreats, accelerates and delays the time of news; and, finally, (iii) the possible descontinuity between the time of audiovisual news and the subjective time of the individual. The philosophy of Henry Bergson and his depiction of the human way of recollecting through virtual halts in time will constitute the theoretical framework of this work. Real duration, what we feel and live, is absent from remembrance. We comprehend time through a linear representation, our remembrances consisting of records fixed in the one-dimensional and anterior time of our memory, characterizing a philosophic description consistent with the neuroscience of Antonio Damásio and Gerald Edelman. The definitions of time and memory are developed from a general and systemic, and therefore ontological, perspective, notably as discussed by Mario Bunge. Thus, memory is seen as fundamental to the maintenance of the autonomy of the individual. Time is considered as arising from the primordial human perception that sustains and creates it, the one of earlier than and later than any event (according to Kenneth G. Denbigh). Time, in this work, is the irreversible time of phenomenology (according to Ilya Prigogine and Isabelle Stengers). As for events, they can as well be portrayed by the news, thus constituting a new audiovisual event, in which a representation of facts is elaborated on a representation of time, continually recreating and reinforcing the linear human logic of retrospection. It is considered, however, that the intensity of the news flow may be beyond the individual‟s internal processing capacity. This research analyses the full of a newscast, focusing on the time intervals established in each news separately. The analysis of this empirical data will offer plausible evidence for sustaining the argument made here that the contemporary news flow, when interacting with the virtual halts of the recollection of an individual, may alter the memory, interfering in the person´s autonomy
