The war that broke out in February 2022 between Russia and Ukraine/NATO exposed the direction given to the coverage of the oldest and most watched television news program in the country, Jornal Nacional – and the noticeable inconsistencies in aspects of historical contextualization, temporality and political relations between countries, which resulted in dramatic consequences for the world. By understanding the complexity of the topic on several fronts, including geopolitical peculiarities and in the field of political communication, the research was anchored in some theoretical references, the main ones being Gramsci's concepts of hegemony and Venício's political representation scenario. from Lima; the historical and geopolitical analyzes of Eric Hobsbawn and Luiz Alberto Moniz Bandeira; in addition to references that helped in understanding JN's journalistic narratives, such as Pierre Bordieu, José Carlos Aronchi de Souza, Ângela Carrato, Eliara Santana and Juarez Guimarães, among others, gave us support. Content from articles, scientific journals and media material searched on the internet was also explored as a way of supplementing information and finding out about investigations already carried out on topics related to research.
