Abstract

This article takes as a research question the functioning of the media discourse. We elect the theory of discourse analysis, from a French aspect, to situate our work of understanding. In the making of our research, four covers of printed newspapers, specifically photographs and calls, were analyzed, which brought the news about the Decision of the Supreme Court on the arrest in second instance issued in 2019. Our main objective was to verify how the media discourse, through the corpus constructed by us, produces different effects of meaning of/for the decision referred to. Initially we approach the conditions of production of the decision and then proceed to the description and interpretation of the selected corpus.  In our journey we also made notes about the modes of production of the media show resulting from the decision. Finally, in a closing effect, we describe some regularities present in the main headlines of the covers in the sense of criticism of the Supreme Court in relation to the decision taken, with omission of the all facts, which ends up stimulating a speech more controversial than necessary for the occasion, thus identifying the media spectacle in the molds defended by Guy Debord.
