INTERCAMBIO DE NOTICIAS ENTRE BRASIL Y PORTUGAL A PARTIR DE UN ANÁLISIS CUANTITATIVO DE GOOGLE NEWS

ABSTRACT

This article investigates the exchange of news between Brazil and Portugal through a quantitative analysis of news aggregation in the Brazilian and Portuguese versions of Google News from February to April 2024. The data were extracted using scraping techniques and consolidated into a tabular structure, enriched with the use of artificial intelligence models for the categorization of the geographical origin of the news. A quantitative analysis was conducted using statistical methods to identify patterns of distribution and frequency of the news, especially from the perspective of news exchange between the two countries. A topic analysis model was applied to identify the main topics and highlight the dynamics of content and specific interests between the countries. The results reveal a greater presence of Brazilian sources and news about Brazil in the Portuguese version of Google News, mainly covering Brazilian politics, economy, and health. Comparatively, the Brazilian version of Google News shows a lower frequency of mentions of Portugal, both in terms of sources and content, with the identified topics mainly related to Portuguese political issues and their relations with Brazil.
