The document discusses Tania Cantrell Rosas-Moreno's research on news framing of Dilma Rousseff's 2010 campaign for president of Brazil. It provides background on the political atmosphere and Rousseff's campaign. The research questions examine what news frames emerged in coverage of Rousseff and what those frames indicate about journalism and democracy in Brazil. The methodology analyzes articles from three major Brazilian newspapers using comparative narrative analysis. Three key frames that emerged were: 1) Rousseff was framed as the successor of outgoing president Lula; 2) Her campaign emphasized a softer, tolerant approach; 3) She was latently framed as a success story for women and democracy. The frames suggest Rousseff promoted an

The next step in the course project is to develop a script that you will use to record the narration for your presentation. Include headings for the slide number. Your final presentation should have 5-8 slides (not including title slide, conclusion slide, or references slide). Here are a few tips:
Address all requirements for the content.
Balance the amount of content for each slide. If there is too much content on one slide, try to break it up into two slides or consider where you can be more concise with your wording.
Include citations where needed (e.g., quoted material and paraphrased/summarized ideas from a source that are not common knowledge). Note: When you get to the recording phase - you will need to read your in-text citations aloud, but you do not need to read your references slide.
Looking Ahead
Practice reading their script now so that you will be ready to record by Week 8. You may use PowerPoint or another method (mp4 file) approved by your instructor.

BASED ON:
Hillary Clinton was the only female candidate to governance next to her husband, Bill Clinton. As evident, she was the single lady who got to rule in the 20th and 21st centuries. She wanted to make the United States powerful in the economy, not just politically. She started working on the economy in the earlier days, and then she stepped towards the military gains of the states. This not only worked, but it also created havoc among the nation to have come under the light of a smart lady. The government and the people at first were not willing to believe, but she gained the trust of all. She worked on the affordable care act for the children and helped them dearly. She stood up for women's rights under the violence against women act. Meaning, she stood up for all acts and rights and made sure that they are implemented. As far as being a US senator is concerned, she stood between the war of Russia and the US and made them sign a treaty. She promoted peace, harmony, culture. She was the first lady who stood for the Copenhagen Climate change Accord. All of this not only helped in helping the children, with their lives, education, etc. it helped the country with better people, better economy, better military respondents, peace, and harmonious culture. She is greatly loved and supported by 74% of the world's stats. She has 487.2K followers just on Facebook .

Donald Trump’s presidential paranoia in Kenya
Donald Trump campaign for the presidency of the United States has meteorically risen because of the paranoia among voters because of the uncertainty that surrounds American future and the desire to a new styled presidency. When Donald Trump first announced his run for presidency, a lot of people were skeptical. Some thought that maybe it was a ploy for another reality show, or to help boost ratings for the pending new season of The Apprentice. He made outlandish remarks that almost no one else would be able to get away with, for which the only result was growth in support. What once was dismissed as a joke is now a very real possibility; the possibility that Donald Trump could very well go on to be the Republican nominee, and eventually president of the United States.
A lot of what has helped drive the Trump campaign forward is paranoia amongst voters. There is uncertainty of the future, there is uncertainty about how the country has been run in the past 8 years, and there is also uncertainty about those that are currently in office as well as career politicians. People are looking for something different, and they think that they have found it in Donald Trump. He doesn’t look, walk, or talk like anything that they have seen before, and that for many voters, makes him the right candidate.
Donald Trump’s nativist speeches have seen him gain traction with the republican voters (Pruessen, 2016). According to Pruessen politicians campaigning on extremist ideologies are new in the American society. Major national issues such as the World War 1 & 11, economic downturn and 9/11 terrorist attacks produce anxiety amongst the citizens. Adolf Hitler successfully rode on this paranoia to gain support from the German nationals who felt wronged by the events of World War I.
The idea of paranoid style in politics was introduced by Hofstadter in his essay “The Paranoid Style in American Politics.” Pruessen’s article on the meteoric rise of Donald Trump borrows heavily from Hofstadter’s works. Hofstandter sought to determine how conspiracy theories and creation of suspicious discontent amongst voters have influenced voting pattern throughout American history. In explaining the paranoid politician theory, Hofstadter identified two different groups of the radical right. According to Hofstadter, politically paranoid voters feel persecuted with the past ruling regimes hence feel the need to over aggressively act in political activities.
Republican presidential flag bearer contender Donald Trump is viewed as a spokesperson for the paranoid politics in the 2016 nomination context. Mr. Trump is edging closer to gaining republican nomination on a campaign filled with fear-mongering and hatred of non-native Americans. The world is slowly coming to terms of the unexpected pointer that Trump could soon be the president of the United States.
However, many political pundits describe Donald Trump as an oppor.

BRAZIL’S NEW DIRECTION
Wendy Hunter
On 27 October 2002, the voters of Brazil chose Luiz Inácio Lula da
Silva of the Workers’ Party (PT) to be their next president, giving him
a wide margin of victory with 61.3 percent in a two-candidate runoff
against José Serra of the Social Democratic Party (PDSB). Does the
election—on his fourth try—of this lathe operator turned trade union
leader and the ascendance of his leftist party signal a historic shift in
Brazilian politics? What are the implications of a Lula presidency for
democracy in Brazil, and what is the larger situation of that democracy
now?
Should 2002 be seen as marking a new era in Brazilian politics? Is it
the start of a period in which a programmatic leftist party that has cham-
pioned popular participation, accountability, and redistributive change
supplants the political clientelism, social elitism, and technocratic policy
making for which Brazil is known? Or is it wiser to focus on the prag-
matic adjustments that the PT has made, the continuing sway of
conservative forces, and the multitude of constraints—political and eco-
nomic, domestic and international—that will hem in efforts to make
major changes?
On the one hand, the election of a candidate who is a true outsider is
a dramatic break with the pattern of Brazilian politics since the
postauthoritarian period began in 1985. President José Sarney (1985–
90), who inaugurated the civilian regime, had been a leading member of
the official government party under the military regime that ruled from
1964 to 1985. His successor, the disgraced Fernando Collor de Mello
(1990–92), had similar political origins. After serving as an opposition

Trump presented gladiator logic. Everything revolves around the conquest of the US supremacy. Trump proposes to build a wall between the United States and Mexico to prevent the entry of Latin American, prohibit the entry of Muslims in the country and isolate the United States in the world. For decades, the Republican Party represented abroad, an international order toward the future led by the United States, and, at home, democratic capitalism with little government intervention in the economy. Trump decimates this and other things that Republicans defended and represented.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

3. Js as Framers & News Framing
Journalists are powerful social actors (Carragee &
Roefs, 2004) through their privileged opportunity to
transmit facts and ideas
Journalists (sub)consciously create, structure,
and/or reproduce ideologies within at least
cultural, political, social and historical contexts
Frames “…are organizing principles that are
socially shared and persistent over time, that work
symbolically to meaningfully structure the social
world” (Reese 2003, p. 11)
Manifest and latent content
Verbal and visual messages can merge, changing
audiences’ perceptions of issues (Coleman, 2010)
Ideologies tend to disappear into the taken-for-
granted world of common sense (Hall, 2003)
“We all
know what
we mean”
4. Research Questions
RQ1: What news frames emerge from the Brazilian
national online news coverage of Dilma Rousseff
during her campaign for president?
RQ2: What might the verbal and visual news
frames indicate about the state of journalism and
the current levels of democracy within Brazil?
5. Media & Method

6. Media & Method
Three constructed weeks

Including post election day coverage
News article = verbal unit of analysis
Visual aid = visual unit of analysis
Comparative narrative analysis (Berger, 2005,
1997)
9. NFO: The Lula blessing
Dilma was manifestly and latently framed as Lula’s
successor
Manifest:
The candidate chosen to succeed President Luiz Inácio
Lula da Silva four years ago, Dilma Rousseff assumed the
presidency of the Republic January 1 with the challenge
to prove to allies and the opposition that she’ll create a
government with her own mark. (Valor, 1 November
2010, italics added)
The PSDB felt in its skin what “the Lula factor” means in a
presidential campaign. (Folha, 1 November 2010)
Dilma’s platform will give emphasis just to the
continuation of the Lula government. (Jornal, 4 August
2010)
10. NFO: The Lula blessing
Dilma was manifestly and latently framed as Lula’s
successor
Latent (paternalism and patrimonialism):
Elected to work and thanks to the godfather, Dilma
Rousseff inherits this complex and delicate
arrangement that sustains Lulaism. (Folha, 1 November
2010, italics added)
These actions [of having Lula join Dilma in her
presidential campaign] follow the strategy… of
pasting the image of Lula—whose government has
achieved a 79 percent approval rating—to his
candidate. (Folha, 31 August 2010)
“keeping things as they are” = “marca de
continuidade”
Buffering of campaign flack
11. NF2: The softer side of politics
Demonstrates female empowerment and call for
female political involvement
Latent (above the mud):
The objective is to combat what Dilma classified as
“campaign performed above calumnies and
defamations.” (Valor, 5 October 2010 italics added)
When commenting on the attacks that she was
suffering from her principal opponent in the election
campaign, Dilma Rousseff said that her campaign
would be run until its completion by “tolerance.” “My
campaign will be marked by tolerance. I will not enter
into hate. I will win with love.” (Valor, 24 September
2010, italics added)
Different from Mr. Serra, who used fear tactics
12. NF2: The softer side of politics
Demonstrates female empowerment and call for
female political involvement
Latent (strong, innovative and fresh tactics):
In electoral advertisements, the PT [Workers’ Party,
Dilma’s party] deviated from the “Little Dilma peace
and love” of the first [election] phase and thickened
the direct vote climate of the dispute. (Folha, 13
October 2010, italics added)
[After delivering a] positive agenda…, the female
candidate innovated by opening the meeting to
discussion and granted interviews with general ideas
about education… In another innovation, Dilma left to
speak with reporters from the mounted pulpit in the
garden of her office. (Folha, 4 August 2010)
Dilma affirms that she is not “aggressive, but rather
“assertive…” (Folha, 13 October 2010)
13. NF3: A new hope
Ms. Rousseff latently framed as a success story for
women, minorities and democracy
Latent (poised for power):
…[T]he challenges ahead are enormous and the next
government can count on an external scene that may
not be too favorable. “Dilma, however, has full capacity
to administer and overcome the difficulties so that Brazil
will continue to grow.” (Valor, 1 November 2010)
Latent (gender as a delayed issue):
Dilma’s advantage continues anchored in the masculine
electorate… (Folha, 29 October 2010, italics added)
14. NF3: A new hope
Ms. Rousseff latently framed as a success story for
women, minorities and democracy
Latent (pan-Dilma/women):
“To try to taint, with lies and defamations, a woman of
Dilma Rousseff’s quality is to practice a crime against
Brazil. And, in particular, against the Brazilian woman,”
said Lula. (Folha, 8 September 2010)
In the part [of her acceptance speech] of
acknowledgements, Dilma adopted Barack Obama’s
slogan, “Yes, we can.” “I would very much like that the
mothers and fathers of little girls look today in their
eyes and say to them: ‘Yes, a woman can.’” (Folha, 1
November 2010, italics added)
To the president of Bolivia, the victory of the PT female
candidate represents a celebration of democracy.
“It’s a triumph of Latin-American democracy,” said
Morales. (Valor, 1 November 2010)
15. Final comments
RQ1: What news frames emerge from the Brazilian
national online news coverage of Dilma Rousseff
during her campaign for president?
Lula’s blessing; The softer side of politics; A new hope
Three news frames served as organizing principles
that seemed socially shared and persistent, at least
during the election time period, and worked
symbolically to meaningfully structure at minimum
Dilma’s presidential victory
16. Final comments
RQ2: What might the verbal and visual news frames
indicate about the state of journalism and the
current levels of democracy within Brazil?
Dilma’s policy of openness with regard to the press
Moving away from patrimonial and patriarchal
society through elected female leadership
The governmental denotation of “democracy” is
increased through Brazil’s continued practice of
democratic elections, and the social connotation of
“racial democracy” is expanded through her win
17. Additional questions
How does Brazil’s election of a female for its head of
state connect it with other Latin American nations?
What might investigating alternative media venues
in conjunction with or apart from mainstream media
(Lawrence, 2010, p. 268) reveal about the state of
politics and social justice issues within Brazil?
