De heróis a tiranos: Jornal A Tarde, agências internacionais de notícias e a Revolução Cubana como representação jornalística (1959-1964)

Abstract

This research aims to analyse the coverage of the Cuban Revolution promoved by the newspaper A Tarde (Salvador, Bahia) between 1959 and 1964. The incorporation by this vehicle of a standard politic-discursive in favor of the United States in the Cold War context, is a very important element for the present work. We also evaluated the Milton Santo's news column, publicated on the vehicle in April 1960. The texts, who have spoken about Cuba, presented disruptions in relation to A Tarde editorial line until there demonstrated on Cuban Revolution. Finally, we also evaluated comparatively the coverage of two of the most importants Bahia vehicles in the period: A Tarde e Jornal da Bahia, fact which has shown that the effort of U.S. informative hegemony promoved by the american agences was confronted by other types of approaches in relation to the issue.
