Abstract

This article aims to analyze discourses by/in the newspaper O Globo, a reference vehicle in Brazilian journalism, about the strategy of social isolation as a way of containing the Covid-19 pandemic. For this purpose, it took as a base of observation and analysis news and reports published by the newspaper during the first two weeks of measures (from March 16to 26). The study started from Discourse Analysis (Pêcheux/Orlandi) to understand if there have been displacements of meanings in relation to measures and the discursive clashes that took place between political, health authorities and the population itself. The article concludes that more than producing meaning about the discursive scene that was established during that period, the newspaper itself became an actor in that scene, participating in the discursive intrigues that took place on it.
