Mídia, tipificação e exercícios de poder: a reprodução dos estereótipos no discurso jornalístico

This paper discusses the relationship between media and the creation of types from the point of view of an analysis of the concept of stereotypes. The mention of stereotypes in media analyses, in a wider sense, and of the news in particular, does not mean necessarily making that concept explicit. It also does not correspond to an analysis of its connections with other current concepts in media analysis, as agenda and framing. This study is a contribution to a theoretical analysis of media stereotypes, understanding them as moral and ideological artifacts. The analyses it includes show the meanings of that definition, taking into account the tensions and ambiguities present in the dynamics of reproduction and overcoming of stereotypes in journalistic discourse.
