Descripción
Sumario:Considering the importance of journalism in social life and its ability to build and maintain stigmas, this article presents the results of a research that sought to verify how HIV positive people are represented in Veja’s reports. We conclude that the magazine is unable to construct the AIDS narrative in a humanized way. For this, the work considered the perspectives of Ijuim (2011) on humanized journalism, the research by Soares (2002) and Fausto Neto (1999) on the AIDS narrative, and the indications of Coimbra (2004) and Brait (1985) for the construction of characters in the journalistic text, taking into account the methodology of Content Analysis (BARDIN, 2011).
