Contemporary television journalism in Brazil. An analysis of coverage of Jair Bolsonaro's inauguration and the role played by television news in reporting

Abstract

This article seeks to apply, in a reduced corpus, the research methodology adopted for our doctoral research. The analysis of audiovisual materiality is a method developed by the Nucleus of Journalism and Audiovisual that understands the audiovisual without the fragmentation seen in other methods. We seek to understand the production of meaning and its relationship with audiences based on audiovisual experimentation. In this work, we apply an analysis sheet to the reports that create a narrative about Jair Bolsonaro's inauguration. We seek to cross the information extracted from the coverage of three news programs (JN, RB and JR) and understand how television journalism, in Brazil, behaved, beyond editorial lines, in its role of informing. Observe the narratives and professional ontology to verify the role played by each broadcaster and by telejournalism in the role of informing.
