This research analyzes the meanings that the Manchete Magazine attributed to the experience of corruption during the Brazilian presidential campaign of 1960. At that time, the press was going through profound transformations in the 1950s and 1960s, playing a fundamental role in political debates and in the systematization of particular ways of interpreting, acting, and living in society through representative units of meaning. Understanding the political, social, and economic dynamics in a historical context, the research seeks to understand how the Magazine spread the idea of corruption as an agent that articulates specific ways of experiencing the world.
