“O FIM DE TODOS OS MALES”: O DEBATE EDITORIAL DO IMPEACHMENT DE DILMA ROUSSEFF NOS JORNAIS O ESTADO DE S. PAULO E FOLHA DE S. PAULO
This dissertation consists of an analysis of the journalistic coverage of Dilma Rousseff's impeachment, through an investigation by the editorials of the two brazilian newspapers, Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo. The analysis was concentrated as editorial pieces published during the period of March 2015, the month in which the first large street demonstrations against the Dilma government appeared, until August 2016, when the impeachment was approved by the Brazilian Senate. For the empirical study were analysed 336 editorials published, 229 from the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo and 107 from Folha de S. Paulo. The goal of research is to analyze the mechanisms used through Journalism, to build a coverage of political phenomenal. From this investigation, it is possible to analyze the dynamics between the media and the political field, in order to identify possible approximations and divergences. The analysis of the editorials, a space in which the communication institutions, take a stand about certain subjects and present their opinions to the readers, which allow to identify the positions of the newspapers, regarding the impeachment process. Therefore, the main arguments used by newspapers were identified to characterize Dilma's removal. Regarding the methodological procedures, we opted for the mixed methods approach. The Grounded Theory, methodology based on empirical analysis for knowledge construction, used as a guide during the process of preparing analytical categories. In the empirical investigations, we used the qualitative analysis software ATLAS.ti as a tool to assist the data listing and categorization and the Sphinx software to assist in the tabulation and quantitative analysis of the data. According to the results, there was an attempt by both legitimate newspapers to impeach Dilma. For that, arguments were mobilized that gave legitimacy to the process. Although the news coverage of Folha de S. Paulo and the State of S. Paulo showed similarities in the way of characterizing Dilma's removal, the editorials gave priority to different aspects of the process. This finding contributed to the defense that the editorials investigation makes it possible to identify the different opinions that the communication institutions defend in the public debate.
