Da ascensão à descrença na bolsa de valores: os significados da crise financeira no jornalismo econômico do Brasil entre 2004 e 2014.

Abstract

In the early 2000s, a widespread optimism took account of global financial markets. The stock markets of emerging countries, including Brazil, faced high after high, a rising period never seen before. This upbeat mood was contagious, and produced a collective belief that attracted even more investors to the stock market, many for the first time. Economic journalists, in turn, produced optimistic news about Brazil and the so called Bovespa. And then came the 2007-2008 crisis, and many analysts, experts, journalists, were skeptical about the possible effects that could spread to the global financial markets and reach Brazil. But what was sure a prosperous future for Brazilian market, disintegrated gradually and continually in disbelief period who opposed much to the early years of the social collective belief of the early 2000. This research studied the phenomenon of production of belief in economic journalism, able to produce and consecrate symbolic values, highlighting certain guidelines, electing spokespeople arbitrarily, and directly affecting the operation of other fields. The object of this research master's thesis were reports collected from the Revista Exame magazine and Folha de São Paulo newspaper, published in the period 2004-2014, related to the BM&FBovespa and the financial crisis 2007-2008. The research results point to a convergence of economic journalism and financial doxa in the period before the crisis, followed by a moment of disbelief, after the crisis, which continues today, indicating a disruption of economic journalism with the interests of the BM&FBovespa and the financial doxa.
