Abstract
This article presents the main findings of a content analysis of the coverage of the Russia-Ukraine war in the Brazilian TV news program, Jornal Nacional, undertaken as part of an international study of coverage of the Russia-Ukraine war on television news in nine countries. Jornal Nacional was selected as the first news program to be broadcast nationwide in Brazil, which is still the country's market leader for private TV. The content analysis included a 10-day sample of 66 news items from the invasion of Ukraine by Russia on 24 February 2022 and the following seven weeks, classified according to thematic categories. The results showed a coverage characterized by a panoramic view of the conflict and the presence of a diversity of angles and points of view. Most of the news focused on the civilian situation, sanctions applied to Russia by the United States and the European Union, and daily news about the battlefield.
