Abstract

This paper has the goal to verify which the frames applied by the magazines Veja and Carta Capital for the Lava-Jato operation were. Framing is a wide concept, which started to be used in Communication studies in the 1980’s. The fi rst defi nition of the concept in this fi eld was from Gaye Tuchman (1978), who said that news’ framing define and build the reality; the source of the concept, though, comes from Erving Goff man (1974), who studied framing through the approach of social sciences. The paper was based on Robert Entman’s (1993) categories to analyse the cover articles from the magazines that reported about Lava-Jato on the period of January 2014 to June 2015. Nine pieces from Carta Capital and 19 from Veja were analysed. The study offered supplies to think about the contemporaneous relationship between media and politics, and also the theoretical relevance of the framing concept to the analysis of journalistic approach of the political facts.

Keywords: Lava-Jato, frame analysis, social construction of reality.
