Antagonismo e protagonismo social: a violação dos direitos humanos no telejornalismo policial da Paraíba

Abstract

This Dissertation is directed to the study of police television news, its statements and perspectives, specifically, on how, when and if human rights violations occur; especially those that occur related to minority groups (blacks), who are presented and interviewed within this communicative process. The study aims to demonstrate whether there is a profile biased towards the lack of respect for human dignity and the reverberation of hate speech in the speeches of presenters and reporters from the Paraíba television media, especially those who work with police television news. Taking into account that the role of television news can affect the social construction of the reality of its audience, we analyzed the programs, in order to point out what implications may arise after this interaction with society. To this end, we take care to analyze each report and calls that were broadcast on the three most watched programs in the Metropolitan Region of the city of João Pessoa, broadcast over a period of five months, even if the television plays that deal with this theme are often used present the same cases, but each with its own peculiar approach. Thus, we discuss the way in which these antagonisms and social protagonisms are exposed, created by television media and how they are approached, using the Theories of Journalism and Discourse Analysis as analytical tools.
