  • Descripción: This dissertation intends to analyze how the international media covered a scandal that impacted the public opinion in Brazil and Latin America: The Car Wash case. Our main hypothesis is that the international media - when covering the referred scandal and its developments - had a political speech towards it, doing a coverage according to their political perspectives. In order to analyze these assumptions, we created a data base containing articles and editorials from six newspapers: The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, from the United States; El Comércio and La República, from Peru; Página 12 and La Nación, from Argentina. These newspapers are analyzed through two cross sections: the first one goes from 2014 until 2018 and the second one from 2019 until 2020. By using qualitative methodologies and text as data techniques, we demonstrate how the media in the United States and Argentina were polarized, a situation that did not occur in the Peruvian case, a country whose media was defending the investigations. Moreover, our results appoint a framing process of the news according to the ideological perspective the referred newspapers might have, resulting in manifestations of support or disagreement against the investigations. We hope to demonstrate how the empirical findings from our data base might dialogue with the theoretical framework presented in this dissertation, pointing out the political discourse that the media might have towards international relations subjects and the possible confronts of narratives that might appear from the coverage made by them. Such theoretical framework not only brings important concepts to analyze an impacting scandal from Latin America, but also is an opportunity to rearrange theories to the reality of a matter that concerns this region.
