Preferências por Meios de Comunicação e a Polarização das Opiniões sobre a Covid-19 no Brasil

Resumo

O Brasil é um dos países mais afetados pela pandemia da Covid-19. No entanto, enquanto as taxas de contágio e mortes aumentam ao longo do tempo, pesquisas mostram que as opiniões sobre a pandemia se tornam menos preocupadas com o vírus e menos favoráveis às medidas de mitigação. Segundo observadores, o fator chave nesse processo é o negacionismo do Presidente Jair Bolsonaro. Neste artigo, mostramos que padrões de preferências por meios de comunicação ajudam a explicar como Bolsonaro influencia a opinião pública ao longo do período. Utilizando três pesquisas de opinião online conduzidas ao longo da pandemia, mostramos que a divergência em visões sobre o problema ocorre principalmente devido aos apoiadores de Bolsonaro que preferem consumir notícias na internet. Os resultados trazem implicações não apenas para entendermos a politização da pandemia no Brasil, mas também a relação entre populismo e comunicação de massa na era das redes sociais.
