O foco deste artigo está na cobertura feita por três importantes telejornais do Brasil - Jornal Nacional, Jornal da Band e Jornal da Record - quando do anúncio das 100 mil mortes em consequência da Covid-19, marca atingida em 8 de agosto de 2020. Nosso objetivo foi compreender como se deu a disputa político-discursiva do noticiário, uma vez que a linha editorial de cada veículo também se reflete na agenda encampada por seu principal produto jornalístico. Mais do que abordagens distintas, a análise do corpus possibilitou entender como cada telejornal acionou um tipo de interdiscurso alinhado a seu público, seja adotando a perspectiva de cobrar às autoridades governamentais pela efetivação do direito universal à saúde, seja mostrando que é possível encontrar algo positivo na quarentena.

O populismo é uma importante marca na política latino americana e a emergência de líderes considerados neopopulistas, como o ex-presidente da Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, está entrelaçada às mudanças na percepção sobre política pelos cidadãos. O presente artigo busca compreender, portanto, como se deu a construção da imagem pública política de Hugo Chávez para que o conceito de neopopulismo fosse atribuído ao governo chavista. O período analisado compreende a eleição presidencial de 2012 na Venezuela. Nossas hipóteses iniciais, confirmadas pela análise, indicavam, principalmente, a existência de uma ênfase estratégica no populismo de Chávez na eleição de 2012 e, ainda, sinalizavam não apenas a existência do voto personalista, mas também a opção do voto retrospectivo em Chávez.

WhatsApp is one of the most used messaging platforms across the globe and is particularly prominent in the Global South. Despite being a private messaging app, WhatsApp is becoming an important platform for political information and political talk, which raises concerns about the spread of misinformation on the platform. This paper presents comprehensive descriptive results of a national survey of internet users in Brazil, focusing on political information on social media. Our data shows that Brazilians are very active social media users, particularly on Facebook and WhatsApp, and consider these platforms very important to fulfill a myriad of political and informational aims. However, they also demonstrate great concern about the quality and accuracy of information circulating online. Despite finding significant differences in how these two platforms are used, the data suggests that WhatsApp is becoming central to how Brazilians have access to and engage with politics.
