The purpose of this article is of analyzing the conflicts between the media and the government in the divulgement of diseases. We have selected the 46 subjects published on yellow fever in the Jornal do Commercio and in the Diário de Pernambuco, of Recife (PE), from January 7 to February 19, 2008, in a controversial coverage concerning the occurrence of a possible epidemic, despite the government having denied the fact. We assessed secondarily the meningococcal meningitis epidemic in Brazil in the1970s. We used as a base the concepts of risk and discursive memory to understand the senses developed both in the dictatorial and democratic periods.Downloads
