Abstract

In this paper it is briefly analyzed the coverage of 2014’s FIFA World Cup (headquartered in Brazil) aired by the Brazilian TV newscast Jornal Nacional. We present empirical data collected in a research project conducted by the author that allow us to observe what is considered here as an adaptation in the editorial line of the television news. It is addressed the hypothesis that such variation would be potentially motivated by both the cultural relevance that football has in the country, and the interest of reaching higher audience ratings by Globo’s TV news program due to the coverage of the event. Additionally, it is pointed that the variation (observed both quantitatively and qualitatively in the categories of the typically aired news in that TV program) started before the beginning of the tournament.
