| Resumo: | The following paper will analyze how the liberal press from Rio de Janeiro positioned itself on the issue of the Petrobras' ( Brazilian State Oil company) creation (1951-1953). The publications about to be analyzed are: O Globo, O Jornal, Correio da Manha and Jornal do Brasil. The creation of Petrobras was extremely controversial at that time and increased public debate about the country's development and the role of the State and foreign capital in the brazilian economy. Moreover, a huge political dispute surrounded all that, where the government proposal was considered to be a "sell off" by the liberal opposition due to the fact that the initial project of petrobras's creation did not envolve full government monopoly. UDN was in favor of that at first, but changed its mind on political grounds to hit Vargas and his government. Because of that, this is an important topic to understand the positioning of the liberal journals. not only on politics, but also on economic issues such as liberalism, nationalism and development. In the end, this paper will allow historians to better understand the traditional interpretations of historiography on that matter and to evaluate the relation between press and politics during the early 1950's. |
