Television is an important political tool in Latin America. In recognition of its ability to shape public opinion and influence political behavior, Brazilian electoral authorities provide political parties with free television airtime in the weeks preceding elections. While Brazil’s publicly financed electoral program levels the playing field between parties, it may contribute to intraparty resource disparities. This article contends that racial considerations influence how party elites distribute television airtime and thus contribute to the political marginalization of Afro-Brazilians. Using original data from Rio de Janeiro’s 2012 municipal elections, it shows that party officials provide Afro-Brazilian candidates significantly less airtime than their white counterparts, even after controlling for theoretically important nonracial candidate characteristics. Moreover, it shows that there are racial differences in how candidates use the airtime they are awarded. Afro-Brazilian candidates are nearly ten times more likely than whites to focus on racial issues in their campaign ads. These results provide new insight about why Afro-Brazilians are rarely elected to public office and, when elected, the types of issues they may address. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The concept of framing is intensively used in media studies. However, it is usually employed in a fractured way. In despite of its semantics inaccuracy, also contributes to these problems the lack of formal routines to identify media-frames. This article proposes a routine to framing identification based on the combination between Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (Caqdas) and Correspondence Analysis techniques. Such mixed method could clarify the formalization of media-frames without mechanizing the full process. To exemplify the usefulness of this technique, it's applied to a corpus of journalistic texts about the affirmative action in Brazil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
