Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Jornalismo) - Departamento de Comunicação Social, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2023.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/55945On 18 December 2013, the Brazilian government announced its decision to but the Swedish Saab Gripen NG as the new fighter jet for the Brazilian Air Force, opting against the American Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet and the French Dassault Rafale. This decision followed a competitive process involving various stakeholders, including heads of state, diplomats, business figures, and lobbyists – all unfolding on the media. This research aims to assess the journalistic content produced during ten years of coverage of the Brazilian Gripen in Folha de São Paulo, Brazil’s largest newspaper. News articles published between 18 December 2013 and 30 September 2023 were sampled and stored in a CSV format file, which constitutes the corpus of this work. Content Analysis as proposed by Krippendorff (2018) is the method used. Given the 10-year extent of news coverage and the large volume of texts, automated Content Analysis using R software was employed through the Structural Topic Model developed by Roberts, Stewart, and Airoldi (2016). The model produced eight topics, subsequently identified, named, and contextualized. The results indicate that Folha de São Paulo’s coverage of the Brazilian Gripen has delved into subjects such as corruption, domestic policy, and Brazil’s global affairs. These findings may provide a foundation to future research into news coverages on Brazil’s upcoming defence projects.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Cobertura JornalísticaDefesaRelações InternacionaisAnálise de ConteúdoModelagem de TópicosbachelorThesis
