Resumo

This work aims to discuss the manifestation of melodramatic imagination in the “Kiss nightclub tragedy” press coverage. By analyzing Jornal Nacional television reports, the use of melodramatic resources is investigated to initially understand the reasons of this union and based in which aspects it happened. After that, the intention is to problematize how Jornal Nacional information is built and how journalists tell their stories. The aim is to reflect on the consequences of this union, that highlights content over form (language), once any fact can become important and interesting when melodramatic resources are incorporated to the reports. In order to accomplish this study, Jornal Nacional press coverage of Kiss nightclub fire, that killed 242 people, mostly young university students, and hurt another 116 in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul will be analyzed. After gathering this material a selection of reports that best represent this kind of coverage will be carried out. Reports will be analyzed based on classical film structure theory to identify melodramatic elements in journalistic narrative construction, built to seek audience through identification, sensations, shallow content and moralizing pedagogy. By that, the intention is to problematize journalism and to answer if what we have in television nowadays still is journalism, considering genre criteria, or if it got lost in suspense and repetition sensationalism.
