Agenda e imagens: Jair Bolsonaro e o tema da segurança pública na grande mídia (2016 - 2018)
Abstract
This research addresses the media coverage of then federal deputy Jair Bolsonaro between January 2016 and May 2018, focusing on the construction of his image by the press and with an emphasis on issues related to public security. His statements about violence, crime and security were analyzed, using these terms as keywords to search and select news linked to the field of the new right, where Bolsonaro became an extremely relevant figure, especially during this period and using it as a strategy of public visibility and political capital the repressive, authoritarian position and the liberalization of the carrying of weapons, the age of criminal responsibility, among others. For this search. Four journalistic sources were used — the newspapers Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo; Carta Capital magazine and Globo's G1 news portal — for the quantitative and qualitative examination of news. The research was guided by the hypothesis of the attenuation of Bolsonaro's speeches regarding these themes in the period prior to his candidacy for president, in order to understand the facts that allowed a politician initially considered of low relevance to rise publicly through the defense of radical projects and reactionaries. The way his positions were reproduced by the mainstream media had a significant impact on his candidacy for president as he gained empathy and legitimacy from the public.
