Sumario:This article aims to draw attention to the recent processes of political ruptures in Latin America, especially in the cases of Brazil and Paraguay from the Brazilian media perspectives. These facts have been opening a significant opportunity to rethink not only the institutional aspects of both countries, but also the construction of new dialogues with the media. For the current analysis, two Brazilian press agencies with different approaches to the Latin international scene were selected: O Globo and Carta Capital in their electronic versions between the years 2012 and 2016. Periods which had marked by the impeachment events in Paraguay, initially, of President Fernando Lugo; then in Brazil, in the second government of President Dilma Rousseff. In relation to these episodes, they have fomented diverse debates and political questions about this conjuncture experienced not only by these two countries, but also for the survival of the formally democratic regimes in Latin American as a whole. From this scenario we initially carry out an analysis of the approaches carried out by both journals in relation to Latin American political events. In the second part, the article selected a set of journalistic reports related to the aforementioned events through a comparative examination. Finally, it discusses the question of the relevance of plural informative dissemination for a broad understanding of national and international events.
