Jair Messias Bolsonaro na mídia: a representação do candidato pelo jornal OGlobo

Abstract

Understanding the media representation of the candidate for re-election Jair Messias Bolsonaro during the 2022 presidential elections, in a context of extreme political polarization. Using the newspaper OGlobo as the object of analysis, articles published in three periods of the electoral campaign were examined: pre-campaign, first round, and second round. By examining the media narratives, the study seeks to comprehend how the media constructed discourses around the candidate, considering his antidemocratic tendencies. The work also explores the complexities and challenges faced by Brazilian democracy in this context. Through this investigation, it is hoped to contribute to a critical reflection on the relationship between media and politics in contemporary Brazil.
