O artigo que o leitor tem entre mãos é uma tentativa de analisar a coberturajornalística de dois escândalos de corrupção, o Face Oculta e o Mensalão, numaperspetiva comparativa. Versando, num primeiro momento, sobre os fenómenos dacorrupção e do escândalo político, procuraremos analisar os conceitos à luz da Filosofia Política, discorrendo sobre a sua relação sem, contudo, deixar de fazer a sua distinção analítica. Na parte empírica, adotaremos a teoria do enquadramento no sentido de compreender de que forma o semanário SOL (Portugal) e a Revista Veja (Brasil), operaram uma reconfiguração dos escândalos no momento da sua eclosão.

This paper analyzes the discursive strategies of the two largest magazines in Brazil, Veja and Época, to build the image of Joaquim Barbosa during the trial of Mensalão, one of the major corruption scandals of the recent Brazilian history. We reflect on the notion of the journalistic discourse, focusing special attention on how journalism constructs the image of social actors. The corpus is scrutinized by categories of Critical Discourse Analysis: the meaning of words, use of metaphors, transitivity, interspeech and political and ideological effects of discourse. Resulting from the crossing linguistic techniques and critical social theory, these sociological categories help to understand how the media create specific semantic constellations that, when associated with people with ontological existence, turn them into paper beings, as Roland Barthes would say. The analysis shows that both magazines have resorted to strategies of heroization of Joaquim Barbosa, stressing the overcoming of the "poor boy who changed Brazil" as highlights one of the publications. As at other times in Brazilian history, the media have given to Joaquim Barbosa, although for a specific time, the national hero epithet, a post always put in the process of being occupied in a country historically lacking of heroic references.
