The present paper discusses the influence of TV and general media on students scientific ideas and the teacher's perception of this influence on students during class time. 17 high-school chemistry teachers with teaching degree, working in state schools, were interviewed. The interviews showed that both, teachers and students, have a positive opinion of science and the scientist. According to their teachers, students' positive view of science is greatly influenced by TV. The developed study shows how important epistemology is in teachers' college formation to offer them a critical perception of science treated in general media. Com o surgimento da escrita, a comunicação não necessita mais da presença física das pessoas, mas pode ocorrer, também, entre aqueles distantes uns dos outros no tempo ou no espaço.
