| Abstract | The objective of this article is to present a panorama of the
journalistic coverage of science and technology themes in Latin
America, taking as a case study 12 newspapers of significant
impact in the region, involving nine countries. We collected the
stories published in the science section from January to April 2006,
and analyzed them based on the constructed week methodology
and using quantitative tools. In total, our sample amounted to 681
stories. Among our findings, we observed an important presence of
medicine and health issues as main topics of the stories. National
science has space in the newspapers, although less than scientific
results from developed countries. Benefits are stressed in the
stories, while a low level of controversies is observed. Scientists
are the main source for the journalists, with a low representation of
the former in stereotyped images in most of the newspapers. | pt_BR |
