Abstract

This article examines the apparently selective production of political narratives by the three major Brazilian newspapers and surrounds the use of economic statistics. We employ content analyses to understand at least three phenomena: (i) the high levels of convergence of the Brazilian print media; (ii) the increasing and selective use of specific national statistics; (iii) instances of anomalous patterns in news production, again surrounding the use of such statistics, 2015-2017.
