This paper studies the meanings of the terms "ideology", "populism" and "nationalism" in the dispatches of Thomson Reuters and Associated Press news agencies. The aim is to analyze if they use these three categories accordingly to the premises of non-bias and objectivity, which are largely viewed as distinctive traits of the two major international news agencies. This paper is based on the hypothesis that when using the words studied here, Reuters and AP contradict these two pillars of good journalism. Such assumption relies on the finding that most of the times these three words are used in the dispatches to designate – almost always in negative ways – governments, ideas and political actors in countries that are in the periphery of capitalism and which take a stance defying the interests based on the central countries associated, in a discursive level, to liberalism, free-market and democracy. According to Reuters and AP, ideology, populism and nationalism almost do not exist among governments and dominant groups in central countries. The main reference for this study is the concept, explored by Norman Fairclough, of ―naturalization‖ of presuppositions aligned with the interests of dominant groups, as well as the idea of a hidden power in the mass media
