Abstract
This article analyzes the diversity of the available media frames about the tragedy in Mariana. Based on Entman’s (1993) framing and Porto’s (2007) frame diversity concepts, we propose a content analysis of the materials presented in several media outlets, namely a local media (Estado de Minas), three online portals dedicated to journalism (G1, R7, Uol) and three outlets of national reach (Folha de S. Paulo, O Estado de S. Paulo, O Globo). We opted by a convenience sample that seeks to evaluate immediate and subsequent repercussion. Our analysis reveals a coverage that privileges official sources, leaving little room for affected people’s perspective or even for “public interest” frames.
