The aim of this study was to examine how the political party Sweden Democrats is represented in two Swedish newspapers. The study included a national newspaper and a local newspaper, Aftonbladet and Blekinge Läns Tidning.   We studied 35 articles from both papers, from 2005 and from 2009. We analyzed the texts using the linguist Norman Faircloughs (1995) method for discourse analysis. Based on his theories, we created our own model to examine the texts. Our model primarily focused on representation.   The study was conducted at a time when Sweden Democrats was given much support in opinion polls and knocked on the door to the Swedish Parliament.   The study showed that Sweden Democrats in both newspapers, primarily by descriptions, the choice of interviewees, etc., often are represented as racists. Another phenomenon is that SD in a number of texts often are linked with suspicion and assigned with a hidden agenda. In contrary, we have also found examples of articles that portray SD as any other party in the political spectrum, especially in the articles published in 2009.   Our study aimed to discuss and also showed that here are several complicated problems, both legally and ethically, when dealing with, and reporting about Sweden Democrats.

The news media are expected to provide equal space to female and male political actors, promoting the idea of equal access to political power, since they are recognized as a holder of power with a social responsibility to respect gender equality. However, as previous research shows, political news coverage is characterized by so-called “gendered mediation” (Gidengil and Everitt 1999), i.e., gender imbalance, stereotypes, and a lack of discussions about gender inequality. Scholars point to media logic, organization, and individual characteristics of journalists as the main reasons for this pattern, but still very little is known about how and why gendered mediation is practiced and processed in political news. This dissertation focuses on gendering understood as the perceived imprint of gender on the media portrayal of politics and politicians, as well as the processes by which gendered representations materialize. By applying a perspective of comparative journalism culture studies (Hanitzsch 2007; Hanitzsch and Donsbach 2012), it examines the processes and modes of origin of gendering as they are perceived and experienced by journalists. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with 40 journalists working for the quality press in Russia and Sweden. The results show that the national culture of political journalism, and the context it is located within, are of crucial importance for understanding gendering and its modes of origin. Gendering may cause problems to the democratic development of society and the position of the quality press in it; however, it also offers a potential for promoting gender equality. The choice of the form of gendering does not fully depend on journalists. It depends on the contextual possibilities for journalists to fulfill the gender-ethical ideal of the quality outlet as long as they need to meet the demands of society and market, and to face the challenges of political communication.

Em ano de eleição, as campanhas em favor de candidatos a diversos cargos políticos se intensificam, assim como a cobertura da mídia em razão dos eventos e das personalidades políticas vinculadas ao pleito eleitoral. Desta forma, esta dissertação propõe-se a investigar o discurso jornalístico, em especial o gênero reportagem de revistas semanais de informação de Brasil e Alemanha, no que diz respeito a duas importantes figuras políticas desses dois países em ano eleitoral, a saber, Dilma Rousseff e Angela Merkel. É nesse contexto que se inserem as publicações Época e Focus, cujos projetos gráficos, em princípio, possuem semelhanças. Foram selecionadas dez reportagens dessas revistas, sendo cinco para cada título. Partimos da hipótese de que, por meio de seu discurso, as publicações tentam projetar algum tipo de ethos, seja positivo ou negativo, dessas personalidades políticas a fim de persuadir seu leitor em um contexto eleitoral. A fim de verificarmos tal hipótese, foram adotados os suportes teóricos da análise do discurso e seus modos de organização, de Charaudeau (2010b), as formas de discurso relatado e modalização, de Maingueneau (1997, 2011), as concepções de ethos (Meyer, 2007; Amossy, 2008; Charaudeau, 2008), além das considerações sobre o jornalismo (Lage, 1985, 2001). Os resultados apontaram para o fato de que, por meio de procedimentos linguístico-discursivos, as imagens das candidatas projetadas pelas revistas são, de modo geral, negativas. Isso significa que ambas as revistas possuem um posicionamento a respeito das duas candidatas, e, com isso, moldam o seu discurso a fim de persuadir os seus leitores a respeito dessas figuras políticas / In election years, campaigns in favor of candidates to various public posts get more intense, as well as media coverage, due to the events and political personalities connected to the polls. This dissertation aims at investigating the journalistic discourse, specially the genre news report, in weekly magazines published in Brazil and Germany, as far as two important political figures of those two countries are regarded, viz., Dilma Rousseff and Angela Merkel. This is the context of Época and Focus, magazines that have points in common regarding their graphic projects. Ten news reports have been selected, five from each magazine. The hypothesis of this work is that, by means of their discourses, the magazines sought to create a type of ethos, either positive or negative, of those political personalities so as to persuade their reading public in the electoral period. In order to confirm the accuracy of that hypothesis, the theoretical supports of Discourse Analysis and its organization from Charaudeau (2010b); the forms of reported speech and modalization from Maingueneau (1997, 2011); the concepts of ethos (Meyer, 2007; Amossy, 2008; Charaudeau, 2008), as well as the considerations on journalism made by Lage (1985, 2001) were used. It was concluded that, by means of linguistic-discursive procedures, the images of the candidates built by the magazines are overall negative. This means that both of the magazines take stands regarding the candidates and therefore shape their discourse in order to persuade their readers so far as those public figures are considered

In respect to the editorial gender, newspapers put themselves in the discussion arena, defending their viewpoint and certain policies. Political agents, on the other hand, are aware of the coverage’s influence. They know how important it is to be supported or rejected in editorials and how much it can help or jeopardize their reelections plans, for example. Thus, this work aims to analyze which public image of the Brazilian Congress is shaped in the editorials of two newspapers, O Estado de S. Paulo and Folha de S. Paulo, identifying themes, characters and frames presented in their coverage. Besides, we also want to investigate the image that these newspapers shape to themselves in their editorials and identify the role they believe to play in the society. The corpus is composed by 164 editorials that mention the Congress, the Chamber of Deputies or the Senate, published by both newspapers, between 2011 and 2013. We use Content Analysis as methodology. This method provides support to identify the most frequently presented themes in the coverage, the most mentioned characters and the frames used to characterize the Brazilian Congress. Results point that both newspapers’ coverages regarding the referred institution are mostly composed of criticism. Most editorials dedicate themselves to Politics and the most frequent frame is conflicts between government and allies in the Congress and between government and Congress in general. Congressional representatives are characterized as self-interested and devoid of concerns with public spending. Other political agents and institutions are also characterized in a negative way, such as Executive institutions and, to a smaller extent, those of the Judicial power. To a certain extent, it is possible speak of an anti-political bias in the coverage, especially considering that the journalistic field legitimizes itself to the audience when it appears as supervisor of the political field. Despite the coverage’s tone of criticism, newspapers recognize the importance of the Congress to democracies. Criticism can actually contribute to make the political sphere more responsive, but we cannot forget that the interests of the journalistic institutions are at stake in editorials, generating tensions between public and private interests. / Embora fatores distintos influenciem na configuração da imagem pública de agentes políticos e de instituições, o Jornalismo ocupa um papel privilegiado em tal processo. No caso do texto editorial, o jornal tem a oportunidade de se posicionar na arena de discussão, defendendo seus pontos de vista e determinadas políticas públicas. Os agentes políticos, por sua vez, estão cientes da influência da cobertura e do quanto ser apoiado ou rechaçado em um texto com caráter editorial pode ajudar ou comprometer, por exemplo, os planos de reeleição. Nesse contexto, a dissertação propõe analisar qual a imagem pública do Congresso Nacional construída nos editoriais dos jornais O Estado de S. Paulo e Folha de S. Paulo, identificando temas, personagens e enquadramentos mais presentes na cobertura. Além disso, a intenção é investigar que imagem os periódicos analisados constroem de si nos editoriais, bem como identificar o lugar que acreditam ocupar socialmente. O corpus da pesquisa é composto por 164 editoriais que tratam do Congresso (de modo geral), da Câmara dos Deputados ou do Senado Federal, publicado pelos dois jornais, entre 2011 e 2013. Os textos são examinados tendo como metodologia a Análise de Conteúdo, que oferece subsídios para identificar os temas mais abordados pela cobertura, as personagens mais citadas e os frames acionados para caracterizar o Legislativo Federal. Os resultados apontam que há uma cobertura predominantemente crítica em relação às referidas instituições por parte dos dois jornais. A maioria dos textos dedica-se à Política e o enquadramento mais frequente trata das relações conflituosas entre o governo e a base aliada e entre o governo e o Congresso de maneira geral. Os parlamentares são caracterizados como auto interessados e desprovidos de preocupações com o gasto público, mas a caracterização negativa não é exclusividade deles, acontecendo também em relação a agentes e instituições do Executivo e, em menor dimensão, do Judiciário. Em certa medida, pode-se falar em um viés antipolítico na cobertura, até porque é ao mostrar-se como fiscalizador do campo político que o Jornalismo se legitima perante a audiência. Considera-se que, apesar da cobertura crítica em relação ao Congresso, os periódicos sabem da importância da instituição para o regime democrático. Este tom pode, inclusive, contribuir para tornar a esfera política mais responsiva, mas não se podem esquecer que os interesses e as agendas das próprias instituições jornalísticas estão em jogo nos editoriais, criando uma tensão entre interesse público e privado.
