Batalha das biografias na arena midiática da democracia: análise de enquadramento da deliberação mediada jornalística

The aim of this article is to analyze how the news frames relate to the deliberative potential of journalistic coverage. As an object, we opted for the debate about the publication of unauthorized biographies. The corpus includes 56 stories from Folha de S. Paulo, O Globo and O Estado de S. Paulo. As a methodology, generic frames were adopted - conflict, human interest, economic consequences, morality and responsibility - associated with categories of deliberative potential - inclusiveness, civility, provision of reasons, responsiveness and orientation towards the common good. The relations between frames indicate that the responsibility frame was related to negative characteristics.
