through the Federal Constitution and of usual laws limits the power of the press. The
right occurs that to inform and the protection of the personality rights constitutional
ruleses are, then, it has an apparent conflict of norms in knowing which of them must
prevail. The agreement is that if it must keep them and does not have one
supremacy on the other and nor the public interest must be remained on the private
