Dissertação (Mestrado em Comunicação) - Faculdade de Informação e Comunicação, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2025.https://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/14488This research used the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) methodology to analyze the journalistic coverage of the Ukrainian War carried out by two Brazilian digital newspapers, Folha de São Paulo and Nexo Jornal. Using the three-dimensional discourse analysis proposed by Fairclough (2001), the analysis of the articles produced by the media in the seven days following the outbreak of the conflict was carried out, segmenting them into discursive, textual and social practice dimensions. In addition to CDA, the research was based on theories of language developed by various thinkers in the West and the East, as well as theories from the field of communication. When addressing the aspects of communication of interest to military doctrine, the works of Liang and Xiangsui (1999), Hoffman (2007) and Korybko (2015) were used. The genesis of journalistic activity in the West and its connections with the concept of citizenship were also explored. In order to discuss the results of the three-dimensional analysis, in addition to theorists from CDA and other social sciences, Charadeau's (2013) ideas regarding the discourse produced by media outlets were used. As a result of the research, a strong alignment was found between the discourse of Folha de São Paulo and Nexo Jornal with the hegemonic discourse produced by the main Western powers, notably the United States of America (USA). This alignment was identified through discursive and textual markers present in the corpus, and converges with the financial and institutional links of the news outlets with public and private organizations of Western powers, identified through their social practices. Based on a critical view of the power relations between the outlets and these powers, characteristic of CDA, a greater plurality of voices in Brazilian journalism is proposed from international multilateral institutions linked to the Global South, such as BRICS, aiming to achieve a truly civic and democratic communication environmentAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Análise crítica do discursoJornalismoFolha de São PauloNexo JornalGuerra da UcrâniaCritical discourse analysisJournalismWar in UkraineCIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::COMUNICACAO::JORNALISMO E EDITORACAODissertação
