Terror and the Media in Brazil - Content Analysis of the G1 News Portal after the Manchester Attack (2017)

This book aims to analyse the content of the news published by the G1 portal in the days following the attack on Manchester, which took place in May 2017 during Ariana Grande's concert. To do so, it uses Jaques Wainberg's perspective on the relationship between media and terror and Chris Anderson and Henry Jenkins' conceptualisations of the transformations that the internet brings to the relationship between individuals and information. The aim of the analysis is to highlight possible transformations in the mainstream media's approach to the attacks and their influence on the categorisation of Muslims.
