This research aims to examine the use made of violence as a social problem in
journalistic and political contexts, from articles published in the Jornal Nacional, from
Rede Globo and in political speeches of the candidates for president, Geraldo Alckmin
(PSDB ) and Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT), on the electoral timetable, here called
television campaign, on the elections of 2006. As the main methodological
contributions have been used the analysis tools of hermeneutics and frameworks
(frame analysis), with the intention of revealing this focus on the violence and make a
theoretical reflection on this social problem in the "post-media", a term known in this
research as to the process of exacerbation of the media and its insertion as an
institution that builds the sense of reality to people's lives. Television news and the
election campaign, tested in August, September and October 2006, were taken as
important programs of references the social construction of reality. It appears that there
is a superficiality and homogenization in the treatment of this social problem.
