O enquadramento do caso Eliza Samudio no Portal R7: a descrição da vítima e do agressor

Abstract

This work analyzes the journalistic coverage of Portal R7 about the murder of Eliza Samudio, which occurred in June 2010. Eliza was murdered and had the body hidden under the command of her former partner, Bruno Fernandes, then Flamengo goalkeeper, who also contributed in the act of crime. Our corpus is constituted by the first month of coverage, which comprises 31 news items, analyzed on June 26th, 2010, the date on which the first case material was published by the portal, until July 26th in the same year. To support the research, we use the concepts of the theory of Constructivist Journalism in conjunction with the theory of the Frames. From this, we could conclude that the frameworks used by the portal bring Bruno Fernandes as a highlight to, in this way, silence the victim, Eliza Samudio, who (when) is described in a confusing and pejorative way.
