This research aims to understand how the Brazilian digital media presents and interprets data on the allegations of violence against the elderly. The hypothesis that drives such work is that certain categories of violence are so naturalized that they are not even approached by the media outlets, reproductive technologies of a speech that stereotypes old age. Carried out by analysis of published news reports of violence against the elderly divulged on the World Wide Web, retrospectively covering a period of 10 years. We realize that, despite numerous efforts and the existence of laws and policies, underpublicized, there is much to be advanced so that the elderly can consider themselves proper citizens and subjects of law.
