Análise da cobertura da Lei do Feminicídio pelos portais online

Abstract

In recent years, the feminist movement won and advanced in various struggles and demands. The Law of Femicide, enacted in March 2015 by President Dilma Rousseff, is a step forward in the struggle for rights and policies to combat violence against women. This matter mobilizes discussions and studies about the event by the media. Thereby, this study aimed to analyze, through the discourse analysis model of Patrick Charaudeau, coverage of events related to the adoption of the law on online portals G1, UOL, Terra and R7. The empirical object was collected in the period from 1 to 31 March, the month dedicated to the struggle of women worldwide, totaling analysis of 18 subjects. We seek to understand the construction of news and its commitment to objectivity, truthfulness and commitment to the reader. The organization of the informative speech was seen through the types of knowledge and truth values they hold, and the reasons to inform the evidence and sources used to ensure truthfulness and objectivity of the facts. We also observed how discursive modes and the ways of the same language so that we consider the analysis of events and newsworthiness criteria are used. During investigation, we find speeches committed to democratic communication ideals and willing to discuss gender issues in society, however, are still detached from social reality and do not represent the majority of (the) citizens (multicomponent) involved in the issue.
