摘要:This paper presents and examines the discursive strategies built and explored by three specific magazines – Veja, IstoÉ and Época – during the coverage of certain political events of the year 2015 concerning the former president Luís Inácio Lula da Silva, belonging to the Workers’ Party (PT). The discussion takes place from the notions of politics as a common interest and from the relation between civil society and the State (Santos, 2000; Bobbio, 1986, 1987, 2000; Arendt, 1987, 2002, 2005). Going beyond the so-called declaratory journalism, the narratives analyzed take on dramatic features once observed on a larger scale in the Police and General sections, and are repaginated in a spectacular manner on the covers of publications, as well as in the internal reports, assuming, at least with regard to the analyzed material, a consensus on how to approach. Keywords: narrative, journalism, magazines, policy, dramatization.
