    Crisis without end? On the differences of presidential crises in brazilian media coverage
    (2021) Damgaard, Mads; Tribunal Superior Eleitoral
    Political crisis and presidential breakdowns are not merely political events. Such events are also elements of the narratives found in news media. This article argues that media construct or project endings for presidents in crisis, based on the cultural scripts available to newsworkers. Using the media scandals and political crises of the three latest Brazilian presidents Bolsonaro, Temer, and Rousseff, the article shows how media at a structural level search for solutions when covering politics in narrative forms. Some types of presidential crisis, e.g. those related to corruption scandals, have well-known scripts for resolving the crisis in the form of court cases, elections, or impeachment proceedings. The kinds of crises predicated on presidential incompetency, however, currently lack satisfying narrative endings.
