Judiciário e mídia : estado e jornalismo em luta por legitimidade na esfera penal

Abstract

The present study, linked to Violence, Crime and Public Safety Research Program Graduate in Criminal Sciences PUCRS line, seeks to analyze the role of the media during the event Daudt, especially in the stage of investigation. For this, we aim to evaluate the work performed by it in the preparation of news and to what extent it was relevant to publish these events, at all stages of the case. The reports demonstrate how was the performance of journalists in reporting the case, in which points were errors during the investigation, the battle between the major newspapers of the time to reach the largest number of sales and the extent to which the media arrived to publicize the facts. The intrigues and power struggles in the state's civilian police divided the investigations, all facts widely publicized, with controversial statements and serious accusations among the delegates. Thereby, the study in the newspapers has become the main tool for analyzing the role of the media in the case Daudt, which was undoubtedly the greatest trial of the twentieth century in the history of Rio Grande do Sul, where there was an involvement of all State Governments, namely, legislature, executive and judiciary, to resolve that conflict troubled and largely supervised by the media
