摘要：This article has as objective to analyze some of the perspectives and framings that configured the mediated debate, between 2003 and 2006, concerning the Bolsa-Família Program in the central space of media visibility - conceived here as composed by the Jornal Nacional and the Folha de S. Paulo. We adopt, thus, the following analytical procedure: (i) identification of the main media framings encompassing different perspectives on specific issues; (ii) selection and analysis of the texts content in order to obtain the discursive main topics related to the identified framings; (iii) identification of the main discursive perspectives within the media framings by analyzing the news direct quotations; (iv) establish the type of relation (conflictive, complementary, monological, etc.) between the identified perspectives and framings. We explore the mediated debate by opposing two major framings concerning the Bolsa-Family Program: the dependence framing (arguments related to assistencialism, philanthropy and alms); and the autonomy framing (points of view on emancipation, citizenship and inclusion).
