Abstract
The controversies surrounding Dilma Rousseff's impeachment process in Brazil involved not only different political points of view, but also a diversity of narratives that disputed the sphere of public visibility at that time. This article investigates the editorial positions held by O Globo (OG) newspaper regarding specifically the idea that impeaching Rousseff was a coup d'etat. More precisely, we study by using Content Analysis to examine 166 editorials published between December 2015 and September 2016 - the frequency and approaches employed by OG to take positions about the narrative that a coup had been articulated against the thenpresident. The results show that the newspaper sought continuously to disqualify and delegitimize the interpretation that the impeachment against Rousseff was a coup. By working in parallel with movements opposed to PT governments, OG evinces its role as a mainstream political actor in the Brazilian landscape.
