| Summary: | This article has as its main purpose to analyze the way by which the daily papers O Estado de S. Paulo (OESP) andFolha de São Paulo (FSP), important means of communication in Brazil, published some news concerning the so called Independent Foreign Policy – PEI (1961-1964). Regarded as an inflection point in Brazil foreign actions, PEI linked to the developmental-national project received severe reviews from the referred daily papers, which corroborated to the opinions and the conducts of the sectors more inclined to the right wing political spectrum. We want to demonstrate that OESP and FSP, as from an anti-communist discourse, contributed to stereotyped views about foreign policy formulated during Jânio Quadros government, and implemented later on by João Goulart government, being one of the elements that justified the civil-military stroke in 1964.
