Abstract

This paper aims to understand the journalistic processes in the coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic by Jornal Nacional on TV Globo in the 2020-2021 period, directing journalistic attention to a comparative analysis in the monothematic coverage. It is considered that, since the outbreak of the disease and its consequences, the attention of journalists was divided among three political crises generated by the federal government. Such facts divide the times of TV news coverage with the biggest health crisis, on a global scale, in the 21st century. As research methods, bibliographical research, exploratory research, and the Content Analysis technique were employed to compare, from the news, how the sanitary and political crises intermingled and became a political crisis of public health.
