Aborto infantil na agenda da mídia em 2020: análises sobre reportagens na BBC News Brasil e Jornal Nexo

Abstract

The research is about how many themes that are published in the media are the result of the influence of the public agency in the routines of newsrooms. In 2020, an abortion case involving a 10-year-old child took over the media agenda after the repercussions of the case grew on social networks. In this context, the object of study is BBC News Brasil and the newspaper Nexo, which had narrative constructions on the theme, different from other newspapers. The BBC criticizes the repercussion of the case as something unprecedented and brings alarming data of similar conditions in Brazil, while Nexo brings an explanatory timeline on the facts that evolve the case for the outdated reader.. The work used reflections on abortion data in Brazil and its relation to public health, the studies by MCCombs and Hoelfeldt (1997) on Agenda Setting and the content analysis methodology (BARDIN, 2011) to understand and analyze the effects of case of abortion in a 10-year-old child, briefly in the media as a whole and specifically in the two newspapers analyzed.
