Abstract

The present paper investigates the MST (Brazilian landless movement) news coverage made by Folha de S. Paulo newspaper. The studied articles were printed in Folha´s front page along the year 2000. The author combines theoretical and methodological discourse analysis and content analysis. The analysis elements are shown in a table. The conclusion is that those articles´ content constitute an attack to MST, they disrespect the Journalistic Ethic Code and the Constitutional right to information. The articles published by Folha de S.Paulo show a position against MST and make it clear that, in Brazil, the press absorbs the same discourse as the dominant class.
