This work in the field of Political Communication aims at analyzing shared representations and meanings about democracy in Brazilian and Argentine journalism. It is considered that journalism is capable of creating meanings, influencing the constitution of social and political reality. The choice of Brazil and Argentina as objects of study was made due to the following reasons: they are two Latin American countries sharing similarities, such as geographic proximity, a history of recurring political and economic crises, the same authoritarian past, and both went through a recent process of democratic transition around the same time. However, according to some of the main research institutes on democracy, Argentina shows higher rates of democracy support, at the same time that Brazil seems to show greater tensions in its democratic reality, having experienced a presidential impeachment in 2016 and the victory of a far-right president (2018- 2022), with little respect for Democratic Rule. A qualitative and thematic analysis was carried out, based on the theory of democracy, to assess the content of the main news websites in both countries. We expect to contribute to the field of Political Communication studies in Latin America through a regional and comparative qualitative analysis, a perspective that is still little explored in the field of communication, but which has been growing in recent years.
