The simbolic and discursive dispute around the pill was evident in the polyphony presented. Two versions of the same history were presented to the public, virtually at the same time, on two different channels. While Fantastico focused on the hazards of using the chemical compound without therapeutic evidence; Domingo Espetacular focused its approach on patient reports and the possible improvements in health attributed to the cancer pill. For this study, we have used hermeneutic analysis, as well as science communication and midiatization theories.37-58porScience CommunicationMidiatizationSynthetic PhosphoethanolamineFantasticoDomingo EspetacularArtigoWOS:000480425200003Acesso restrito
