SANTOS, Carlos  and  MIRANDA, João. News media and populism: a systematic literature review. Media & Jornalismo [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.40, pp.37-56.  Epub June 30, 2022. ISSN 1645-5681.  https://doi.org/10.14195/2183-5462_40_2.

The main objective of this analysis is to chart and to characterize scholarship on populism and news media, by identifying the issues and problems, as well as research practices that shape these studies. This article reports the findings of a systematic review, using PRISMA guidelines, of empirical studies on populism and news media (n = 218), published in peer-review journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science databases, until July 2021. Building on the information retrieved from these databases and based on the content analysis of full texts, we seek to identify key characteristics of the studies, such as publication dates, authors, journals, scientific domains and categories, regional focuses, analyzed phenomena, methodological options, or conceptual approaches to the interaction between populism and news media.

Keywords : populism; news media; journalism; systematic literature review; PRISMA.
