In this article, Chomsky & Herman's "propaganda model" was applied on the examination of the news coverage practiced by Brazilian mass media regarding the exclusion of candidates due to legal processes in the 2018 Brazilian and Venezuelan presidential elections. To this end, this research employs the chomskyan methodology of conducting a comparative study of the news content concerning the excluded candidates from each election produced by Brazilian newspaper O Estado de São Paulo between January 1st and May 31st of 2018. The analysis focused on: how the paper framed the matter in each case through representation techniques, the plurality of opinions presented, and how authors of opinion pieces positioned themselves. The results show that the newspaper's coverage corroborates claims of attacks on the freedom of candidacy in the Venezuelan election, whilst rejecting such claims in the Brazilian election.

The election of Jair Bolsonaro for the presidency of Brazil in 2018 had repercussions worldwide. Important vehicles, such as The Economist and The New York Times, have dedicated a prime space to the political event. In this paper, however, the focus is on the coverage made by South American newspaper sites that speak Spanish language shortly after the announcement of the outcome of the election. For that, nine newspapers from different countries were selected and their texts were analyzed through Content Analysis, by Bardin (2011). Despite the variety of context-related themes, Jair Bolsonaro and the PT, the texts had more resemblance than differences in the way they dealt with the subject, showing that the south of Latin America - even without much dialogue between its peoples - follows relatively similar paths, including in journalism.

This paper introduces the newsreaders as subjects that form discourse communities in contemporary journalism, and it develops the features of the comment in news as a discourse genre.

This paper investigates the forms of representation of children and young people that stand out in three daily newspapers in Brazil and Portugal. We analyze seven editions of each of the following newspapers: the Brazilians Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo and the Portuguese Público.

In addition, the representation of boys and girls as a population threatened by modern ills gains prominence, as well their image as autonomous consumers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes a analysis of the narrative models used by newspapers Diário de Pernambuco and Jornal do Commercio in the reports about a political scandal occurred during the municipal elections of 2004, in Recife City. The electoral dispute was between the parties PMDB and PT and their candidates. We have the assumption that the journalistic narrative structures, in some points similar to those used in literature, dramatize the events and remodel the politicians involved in the fact in characters. The use of those structures denies the myth of objectivity underpinned by the professional ideology of journalism, which sees the news as a faithful mirror of reality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
