dc.description.abstractThis paper intends to show how the images published in the press “tell” the coup of 25 November 1975, an event that ends a period of struggle (called PREC - Revolutionary Period in Progress) between the different political forces that tried to conquer power after the 25 April 1974 revolution.Shortly after the “Carnation Revolution”, occurred coups and countercoups, carried out by both radical and moderate political and military forces, which differed on the democratic model to be adopted. The historical narrative on the military coup of 25 November 1975 points to the culmination of this divisive process, with the defeat of the extreme left forces allowing the clarification of the political model and the transfer of the military power to the civil domain.To what extent and how was this “victory/defeat” narrative adopted by journalism to tell the events? What, who and how it is “shown”? Starting from this exploratory questions, we proceed to the frame analysis of the photographs published in three titles of daily/non daily press on the subject, from a multimodal perspective.The technical images, due to its potential of belief associated to their illustrative and witnessing ontology, are a fertile medium for the construction of meanings that fits the discourse of journalism and that has gained, in the post- revolution period, a progressive importance in the newspapers, due to the openness to the exterior and the professional recognition of photojournalists.Thus, this analysis has, as its backdrop, the conditions of the exercise of journalism at the time, as the newspapers were the stage and the mirror of the political and ideological struggle waged in the period preceding the coup and had incorporated its consequences.en
