"A vida é tão rara": a visibilidade da ciência e da saúde nas telas do Jornal Nacional na pandemia da Covid-19

Abstract

The articulation between TV journalism and science is the focus of research that aims to analyze the discursive strategies of the Jornal Nacional in the edition in which Brazil marked a year since the official record of the first case of Covid-19. For this, we use theories related to audiovisual journalism, misinformation, communication and health and didactical enunciation, whose reflections support the elaboration of the two analytical operators of the Audiovisual Materiality Analysis by Coutinho (2016): 1) how the TV journalism produced by JN can (or can not) prove the effectiveness of research in the fight against the pandemic; 2) what strategies are used by Jornal Nacional to combat fake news and disseminate science. The research indicates that the news has adopted a educational language in order to reinforce the guidelines of scientific institutions and their agents on wrestling the pandemic.
