Narrativa telejornalística: uma análise da cobertura do programa Brasil Urgente sobre o caso Lázaro Barbosa

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze journalistic production on the program "Brasil Urgente" regarding the Lázaro Barbosa case, understanding how the show constructs the narrative of the event through the presenter's narration. The research question guiding our study seeks to uncover how the "Brasil Urgente" program constructs the narrative of the event based on the Lázaro Barbosa case. To achieve this, we analyzed three episodes (June 14, 17, and 28, 2021) of the "Brasil Urgente" program on Band, which gave full coverage to the case. We employed the Pragmatic Narrative Analysis methodology (MOTTA, 2005) and drew on studies related to death as a journalistic event, crime journalism, television journalism, sensationalist journalism, and journalistic ethics. Among the results, we highlight that the program utilizes the creation of narratives that appeal to emotions and seek to shock the audience in order to attract higher viewership.
