DISCURS OF URBAN VIOLENCE IN THE RADIO MEDIA: A STUDY OF CASE MARCELO PESSEGHINI
agenda-setting, media discourse, urban violence.
The question of influence and media power is a fairly common theme, but still little explored from the perspective of the theory of media schedule (agenda-setting), according to which public opinion is influenced by the agenda that the media determines. We chose to investigate this phenomenon specifically in cases related to urban violence, using as an example the radio news reports about the case Marcelo Pesseghini. The corpus was analyzed in order to study the discourse of urban violence, so that training conditions are exposed which allowed the creation of this discourse. It is, therefore, a case study of qualitative nature, adopting a theoretical framework that ranges from assumptions of radio and journalism theories, using authors as PRADO (1985), HAYE (2005), MCCOMBS E SHAW (1972) and SHOEMAKER (2011), to the linguistic theory supported on the French analysis of discourse (AD), basing on authors as FOUCAULT (2008), PÊCHEUX (1993) and ORLANDI (2015). At the end, we concluded that the news chosen and highlighted elements demonstrate the influence of the media and the direction of ideas in view of what is reported and related in the media.
