摘要：This study constitutes a journalistic framing analysis of the Brazilian weekly ma- gazines Veja and IstoÉ coverage of the impeachment process of former president Dilma Rousseff, which was concluded in August 2016, from a gender perspecti- ve. A multimodal analysis is used as a methodological approach, adding some elements to the classic functions of framing, such as the study of sources, infor- mation channels, and rhetorical strategies related to journalism. It is possible to infer that the journalistic framing of the impeachment process by the two Brazilian magazines plays a destabilizing political role in the power game, and that it suffers influences from the sexist universe that historically characterizes the deliberative politics in the country.
