1) Does the word "telejournalism" exists in English? I can't find it in any dictionary. Do you have any suggestions for replacing this word?

2) BTW, how do we call TV shows that broadcast news in English?

3) Last but not least, could you take a look at the text below and tell me if is there something that doesn't make sense:

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the use of fashion as a theme in Rede Globo four daily news: Bom Dia Brasil, Jornal Hoje, Jornal Nacional and Jornal da Globo. Sketch of a history of the Brazilian telejournalism. Historical panorama of the world fashion and the Brazilian fashion. Outlining of the resemblance between telejournalism and fashion. Analysis of fashion as a social and as an economical phenomena. Discussion of to what extent the pressure of the �deadline� can be considered a reason for the production of superficial and/or non-elaborated fashion reports. Questioning of how the implementation of a fashion editorial board in Rede Globo, in order to collaborate with all the news of the broadcasting station, could be useful for the treatment of fashion information and for the elaboration of reports about this theme.

1. It ought to exist because it is quite clear what it means. I believe it is referred to as TV journalism.

2. TV news, or Network news, or just, The news.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the use of fashion as a theme in Rede Globo four daily news, Bom Dia Brasil, Jornal Hoje, Jornal Nacional and Jornal da Globo.

Outline of the history of Brazilian telejournalism.

Historical panorama of world fashion and Brazilian fashion.

Outline of the resemblance between telejournalism and fashion.

Analysis of fashion as a social and economical phenomenon.

Discussion of to what extent the pressure of the �deadline� can be considered a reason for the production of superficial fashion reports.

Discussion of how the implementation of a fashion editorial board at Rede Globo, in order to collaborate with all the news of the broadcasting station, could be useful for the treatment of fashion information and for the enhancement of reports about this theme.

I guess, Clarissa that you are doing this as a bulleted list with an introductory paragraph?
If so, may I suggest that if you finish the intro with something like "the following subjects will be discussed" you can probably leave out the phrases like: Qualitative and quantitive, Discussion of, Outline of etc..

I've left telejournalism alone, but you can change it if you like.
There were hardly any actual errors in your English, which is of a very high standard.
