A “Batalha de Berlim” nas páginas do jornal O Estado de Mato Grosso

Abstract

The article aims to deal with the Second World War and the written press. Specifically, the aim is to analyze the news published in the newspaper O Estado de Mato Grosso about the Battle of Berlin. To carry out the work, documentary research was carried out with the newspaper O Estado de Mato Grosso, through the Hemeroteca Digital. In addition, a bibliographical research was used to discuss the Estado Novo, a moment of the Second World War and the control of the press. It turned out that the newspaper devoted little space to covering the battle and even published some articles with an anti-communist bias in the period. This can be understood from the political and ideological context of Brazil at the time, which was marked by anti-communism and the bias of the journal's director. Thus, it is hoped, through this article, to contribute to the understanding of the history of the press, addressing anticommunism, the Vargas government and the coverage of the Battle of Berlin.
