SUMMARY:

Considered a hybridism between Brega from Recife, Carioca Funk, and Technobrega from Pará, the Recife Brega Funk music genre has been experiencing growth in news, digital platforms, and virtual social networks, as well as being incorporated into political and educational campaigns. Understanding journalism as a form of non-formal knowledge and as a contributor to help men and women understand the world they live in, we aim to
reflect, with this research, how journalism frames Brega Funk in its news and reports: whether it shows its reach on the national scene, as well as its reappropriations, such as the choice of the rhythm for educational campaigns against harassment, for example. If it does so, but continues to reinforce the criminalization of its manifestation in the peripheries, associating the music genre with disputes involving drug trafficking and fights between organized football team supporters in the city. Thus, the problem-question that guides our research is: How is Recife Brega Funk being constructed by Recife journalism? Based on the question, we defined our general objective, which is to understand the framing given to Brega Funk by Recife journalism. To answer the question, we delve into Journalism Theories, introducing the discussion of journalism as a form of knowledge, analyzing news values and media framing, taking into account its contribution in the construction of reality; as well as in research on the Brega musical genre and its strands. We used bibliographic and documentary research and content analysis methods (quantitative and qualitative). To collect the data, we used the digital sites of three Pernambuco journalistic vehicles: Jornal do Commercio, Folha de Pernambuco, and Diario de Pernambuco, from 2004 to 2019 – from the break of the Funk scene in Recife and the marginalization of the MC; meetings to the insertion of Brega Funk in institutional campaigns; listing the phases of Brega Funk in Recife media. After collection, we selected only the content that mentions Brega Funk (among reports, notes, and news), in order to answer the questions that guide this research. From the content analysis of the collected data, framings such as "cultural movement" and "resistance" were found, highlighting the potential of Brega Funk as a legitimate and authentic cultural expression. However, at the same time, negative framings were identified that associate the musical genre with an unsafe place,  stigmatized;, unstable, tacky, and sexist. These framings reinforce stereotypes and prejudices regarding Brega Funk and limit its appreciation and recognition as an important cultural manifestation in the music scene of Pernambuco. Thus, the research concludes that, despite the growth of Brega Funk in Recife, local journalism still reproduces stigmas and prejudices regarding the musical genre, while also highlighting its virtues and resistance as a cultural movement.
