Abstract

This monographic study talks about the growth of penal media popularization and its impact on formation the punitive view of Brazilian society, the value of media professionalism, and preservation of the presumption of innocence. The general objective of this monograph is to analyze how the media constructs narratives and opinions about crimes, criminals, and suspects. The concept of the "spectacularization" of facts will also be explored, where criminal cases are transformed into entertainment and broadly exposed by the media, sometimes affecting the confidential and coherent nature of the legal process. The influence of the media on public perception and opinion, and the pressure for fast responses and actions from public agencies and involved authorities, will also be studied.The phenomenon of excessive media influence stimulates a sense of insecurity and impunity in the population, leading people to demonstrate an increasing sense of punishment and immediacy each day. Excessive repercussions, along with criminal sensationalism not only compromise the confidentiality of investigations and legal proceedings but also undermine one of the fundamental principles of the Federal Constitution: the principle of presumption of innocence. Suspects and accused individuals are often portrayed as guilty before the beginning of their trials, which affects not only those directly involved in the incident but also their families.The popularization of media criminal law in Brazil highlights the need for a balance between the right to information and the assurance a fair trial and intact principles. The role of the media is indispensable in modern society, but it is imperative that it maintains na ethical stance, providing the population with truthful and complete facts, and combating any form of biased or false information. In this monographic study, the facts will be presented and detailed.
