Análise dos enquadramentos utilizados pelos sites BBC News e BBC News Brasil na cobertura jornalística dos desdobramentos das eleições presidenciais na Venezuela em 2024

Abstract

This research aims to meet the requirements of the Final Course Work activity, of the Journalism Course at UFS, and aims to identify which frames were used by the BBC News and BBC News Brasil websites in their journalistic coverage of the political crisis that took place in Venezuela in 2024. The conflict was triggered by the contestation of the results of the presidential elections by international leaders and the opposition group, which argued that there was electoral fraud. The study carried out a content analysis of the journalistic articles published on the portals in the period from July 29, 2024 to August 28, 2024, using the concepts of Framing Theory. The focus is to understand the actions of President Nicolás Maduro and his political group, Chavismo, as well as the opposition group, as well as how diplomatic relations between Brazil and Venezuela developed as a result of the problems that occurred in the electoral process. The results obtained indicate similarities in the coverage of the internal actors in the dispute carried out by the websites, but reveal a greater concern on the part of BBC News Brasil in framing the Brazilian role as a mediator in the conflict.
