Descrição
Em sua edição de 31 de março de 1997, o Jornal Nacional (Rede Globo) veiculou uma série de reportagens sobre práticas violentas de policiais militares contra moradores da Favela Naval, em Diadema (SP). De grande repercussão, o escândalo desencadeou consequências políticas e institucionais diretas. Argumentamos aqui que um dos amplificadores do impacto foi o modo como a denúncia ganhou visibilidade: por meio de uma filmagem amadora. Trazemos elementos que permitem articular, de um lado, as especificidades estéticas, narrativas e discursivas das reportagens produzidas a partir do vídeo amador e, de outro, o contexto social, político e institucional em que eclode o acontecimento da Favela Naval.||in March 31, 1997, Jornal Nacional (Rede Globo) broadcast a series of news about violent practices of military police against residents of Favela Naval, in Diadema, São Paulo.
