Comunicação política e midiatização: o embate de Bolsonaro com a imprensa

Resumo (EN)

This article discusses the contemporary media structure and the mediated social interaction, through the media linkage that takes place between Twitter and the print media, represented
by the newspapers Folha de S. Paulo and O Globo. For this purpose, the episode in which President Bolsonaro stated that journalist Míriam Leitão was part of the armed struggle during
the Military Dictatorship, questioning the fact that she had suffered torture during the regime, is taken as an object. This event generated repercussions in traditional media and micromedia – Twitter and Facebook. To observe the occurrence of media linkage between networks, Content Analysis was used, combined with Framework Analysis. The theoretical approach focuses on two axes: mediatization and the circularity of messages. The work concluded that digital tools, in this case Twitter, enable two-way communication processes and facilitate the free circulation of information on a global scale, expanding public debate.
