Abstract

This article aims to analyze the figure of the 21st century press in the face of attacks carried out by state agents, from the perspective of the precedent established by the United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) in the New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964). The main objective of the work is to observe the behavior of state agents in the face of criticisms conveyed by the media and contrast them with the understanding of SCOTUS consolidated in that case. The methodology applied corresponds to the inductive method, given the analysis of the aforementioned precedent and the reactions of Jair Bolsonaro and Donald Trump in the face of criticism made by the press during the 21st century, especially during their mandates. It was concluded that the media, much more than a means of disseminating information and news, also act with a critical bias and react to unlawful and unconstitutional acts carried out by political figures. Removing this voice from the media, albeit through intimidating ways, is to move towards an anti-democratic regime, whose state interference in communication vehicles becomes governmental protocol and free ideological debate becomes utopian.
