Abstract

O enquadramento noticioso (framing) associado ao terrorismo tem sido, enquanto temática académica, investigada no âmbito de diversas áreas das Ciências Sociais.

Os media, aplicando esquemas interpretativos, classificam e interpretam as informações que nos chegam diariamente. Os mesmos, influenciam as perceções das audiências referentes ao terrorismo, destacando ou omitindo certos assuntos e matérias.

Este artigo trata o tema do framing noticioso associado ao terrorismo, distinguindo o medo referente ao “outro”, ao que é diferente, sustentado pelos media, através de uma cobertura episódica ou temática de acontecimentos. Realiza ainda, um retrato a nível nacional das participações à ERC e suas deliberações, referentes à cobertura noticiosa dos mesmos acontecimentos terroristas.
