Given the importance and power of the news in contemporary society, it is not surprising that journalistic discourse is so studied. Such discourse has specific characteristics and methods of production and consumption. The aim of this article is to identify the interrelationship between written texts and images on the front pages of two printed newspapers from Minas Gerais, produced during the Covid-19 pandemic, based on the linguistic style, the analysis of the organization of the elements, the Equilibrium Structure provided by producers and the discursive practices that shape journalistic discourse. In order to achieve the aims, I seek support in Critical Discourse Analysis. On the other hand, studies that specifically analyze the discursive practices of journalistic discourse are extremely important. The results show that the linguistic resources were adjusted to the target audience, the images established important relationships with the written texts and the news value proved to be important in the making of the covers.
