Media and Paralympic Games in Brazil: the media coverage of Folha de S.Paulo between 1992 and 2016

<h4><b>Abstract</b></h4><p dir="ltr">The goal of this research was to characterize the coverage of the Folha de S.Paulo (FSP) during the Paralympic Games during all editions from 1992 to 2016. The study was quantitative and descriptive. We concluded that the Paralympic sport gained gradual visibility in the FSP, presenting a quantitative leap of news between 1996 and 2000 and another starting in 2012. Most of the news turned to athletes and modalities that involve competitors with physical disabilities. The newspaper also favored the publication of modalities with a greater number of medals, and more specifically, swimming and athletics. We explore hypotheses that explain these data and weave considerations that may contribute to the media's qualification in their coverage of the sport for people with disabilities. <h4><b>Resumo</b></h4><p dir="ltr">O objetivo desta pesquisa foi o de caracterizar a cobertura da Folha de S.Paulo durante as edic¸ões dos Jogos Paralímpicos de 1992 a 2016.
