Abstract
This paper aims to identify how the coverage of the World section of two Brazilian news portals (O Globo and Folha de S. Paulo) is accomplished. We seek to comprehend in which range Latin America countries are presented within the World section of the researched portal, examining also the rate of appearance of the United States as well as European countries. The literature review enables to advance two hypothesis: 1) The United States is the country with the highest rate of appearance in both portals’ coverage; 2) Latin American countries have a low rate of appearance, even though both portals being Brazilian. In order to test this hypothesis, we used quantitative content analysis, which allows us to identify patterns and differences in the coverage of portals permitting comparisons. The data was collected since 2018 April until July and the results indicated similarities in the analyzed portals, with both coverages presenting Latin America countries, although showing significant differences in comparison to the so-called developed nations.Keywords: News portals. International journalism. Latin America. Comparative analysis.
