Bibliometric study on the production and use of information in scientific papers presented at the Journalism Research Group in Intercom XXX Brazilian Congress of Communication Sciences in 2007; SBPJor - Fourth National Encounter of Researchers in Journalism (2006), and Compós- XVI Annual Encounter in 2007. The corpus of 213 papers was analyzed by authoring and co-authoring, thematic and methodological procedures: empirical, theoretical or applied. The 3835 citations of the papers were analyzed by the document type (books, congresses, journals, theses), on-line accessibility, and by criteria as nuclear publications, most cited authors and the average life of literature used.

In this paper, I investigate how narrative, and resistance are articulated in Banzeiro Òkòtó, Eliane Brum’s work about the Amazon, forest peoples and climate emergency. It analyzes, considering Brum’s journalistic project, aspects related to both the narrated events and the writing itself. The hypothesis is that, in the face of the extreme situation, Brum problematizes and subverts aspects of writing, a cultural instrument inherited from the colonizer, to experiment with inclusive ways of narrating. The results point to the use of a series of narrative resources, from reflexivity to genre dilution, which hybridizes the reportage and activates the criticism of oppressive forms of Western civilization.

This article presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of scientific articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish, and dissertations and theses (in Portuguese), published between 2010 and 2021, which address the relationship between quality in journalism and democracy. The goal was to map how this connection is investigated in scientific research and identify some aspects, such as: Type of Research; Methods and Techniques; Object; and Country(ies) of the sample. We used four indexing bases: Web of Science; Scopus; Scielo; and Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Capes. Using a code book, we analyzed 33 papers. All of them were double coded and submitted to intercoder reliability tests. The results show a predominance of the empirical approach (n=21) and content analysis (CA) as the most used methodological tool. We discuss the implications of the findings for future analyses, the advantages of SLRs and the relevance of this research agenda. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper compiles the contributions from the works and teaching of Nilson Lage (1936-2021) for training news editing, and shapes them into conceptual propositions in order to describe the labour of editors in present-day journalism. Based on the author's references to this subject, we propose to frame news editing as composed by three dimensions - planning news products, newsmaking management, and content treatment - and three procedures - selecting, hierarchizing, and emphasizing -, outlined as organically articulated to the other stages of news production: assignment, reporting and writing. Besides, Lage's formulation of the topic-documentation writing structure is hereby recovered. This approach is justified by the scarcity of literature aimed at such topic in Brazil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article's main objective is to demonstrate that Nilson Lage's work is still cur-rent and that it opens space for new reflections on postmodern journalism in its new formats and supports. So, we set theoretical reflections from an unsystematic bibliographic rescue: this paper discusses the concepts' formation and, later, demonstrates how the attributions given by Lage to the news's concept are fundamental to develop ramifications, such as the concept of self-destructive news. The proposal of this new concept is based on doctoral research within the scope of the Journalism Postgraduate Program at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), and brings theoretical constructs developed in more depth in the thesis and in the book that derives from it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the perpetuity of the works written by professor Nilson Lage for the teaching of Journalism, especially regarding essential genres of journalistic activity: writing news and reports. The text analyzes the lessons learned from the books Estrutura da Notícia, Linguagem Jornalística and A Reportagem: Teoria e Técnica de Entrevista e Pesquisa Jornalística, which are widely used in Journalism courses throughout Brazil. The works, despite the years and successive editions, remain current and in dialogue with the present theoretical lines relevant to the understanding of the field of journalistic knowledge, as they are supported by the social construction of reality. This paper highlights important articulations of Nilson Lage's works with other relevant authors, such as Adelmo Genro Filho and Muniz Sodré, showing that his legacy escapes the trap of proposing a merely instrumental journalism, preferring to invest, without being hermetic, in his theoretical and its epistemological richness.

The main objective of this paper is discussing the transformations in the formation of opinions from the algorithmic mediations present in digital platforms. With the intention of not abandoning social issues, and analyzing meanings and technologies separately, the results presented were built from a study of reception of a sociocultural matrix with eight unionized teachers and eight neo-Pentecostal evangelicals residing in Curitiba (PR). There is a market logic that governs power maintenance in the platforms, while its filters determine what will be consumed and ignored. However, the structuring dimensions -- church, family, work, etc. -- remain relevant in the formation of opinions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper analyzes the covers of the weekly Veja and Época magazines during the coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic. The goal is to see how the two weeklies framed in their headlines the health crisis experienced by the country and the treatment given to President Jair Bolsonaro, whose performance was the target of criticism in the period. The corpus consists of 53 editions, making up all the numbers published in 2020 between March, the month of the first cases, and August, when the country reached the mark of 100 thousand deaths. We work with two hypotheses. The first considers that the two magazines explored the editorials of politics and economics more than the health one. The second men-tions Bolsonaro's controversial role in managing the crisis and believes that the president received more negative coverage of Época, edited by the media group that the president considered his "enemy". The result showed that the covers on the pandemic fluctuated in the period, but had more evidence than those on the economy. In addition, the news was more unfavorable to the president at Veja.

This paper presents a discussion of narrative podcasts based on the analysis of Radio Ambulante, a Spanish language radio show created in the United States in 2011. The research aims to demonstrate that the emergence of the narrative podcast is strongly linked to the tradition of National Public Radio (NPR), the American public radio network founded in 1970. The article presents a brief history and examples of NPR radio shows that became fundamental in the development of the podcast’s journalistic tradition. In addition, it highlights the Radio Ambulante project as one of the most representative examples of this tradition in a foreign language. In this essay, two episodes of this podcast are analyzed: “Las Hijas de Maria Señorina” and “Mais Médicos”, productions of 2018 totally or partially dedicated to Brazil that had their audio transcribed in Portuguese.

The challenge of this paper is understanding the imaginary of Journalism transformations in the transition from the industrial to the postindustrial period, when the mass media gave place to the media of the masses. To this end, it seeks to broaden the Journalism Theories perspective based on the contribution of the General Theory of Imaginary, as to better understand what variances and reminiscences in the images permeate the epistemological field of this object in crisis. This symbolic reading is constructed from the mythocritic of classical Brazilian journalism epistemology books from the industrial period, which constituted our foundation while tensioning the post-industrial dynamics. The analysis allowed us to understand that the images constellating in the imaginary of journalism are dynamized from their imaginary responses to ancestral drives: Myths of Time, Myths of Vision, Myths of Progress and Myths of the Order. Hence this symbolic and mythic framework, we could highlight the imagens evoked by our contemporary times. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the radio program named Dick Danello Parlando d’Amore which stayed on the air of stations in the state of São Paulo from 1981 to 2016. The program can be understood as a document that integrates the radio memory of Brazil and reveals an understudied genre: programs for immigrants and their descendants. The article aims to analyze this language as letters from listeners, music selection, the language used by the performer Dick Danello. The theoretical basis of this study is formed by theories of the radio, of listening and affections pointing to the relevance of the sense of hearing and the bonds involving performers and listeners for the radio experience as well as studies on love and romantic songs. Interviews and consultations to archive documents are also part of its methodological route. This article is expected to demonstrate the importance of love bonds for the construction of memory that programs targeting the community of Italian immigrants have produced throughout the history of the radio in Brazil.

This paper analyzes the journalistic mediations built on the operation carried out by agents of São Paulo Civil and Military police at the city central region known as “Cracolândia”, in May 2017. The episode resulted in extensive coverage by press vehicles, which gave space to speeches by the mayor and police authorities, emphasizing the problem of public security and alleged economic losses resulting from the existence of Cracolândia. We focus on the coverage by Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo newspapers, considering there printed editions published in 22th May, 2017. From such frameworks, we intend to analyze, discursively, the representations of otherness constructed by the media in focus, discussing the (in) visibilities given to the Other.

The spaces for comments in news configure complex environments in which the writing practice gives to reader a place of enunciation and constructs an active audience. This paper introduces the newsreaders as subjects that form discourse communities in contemporary journalism, and it develops the features of the comment in news as a discourse genre. In order to demonstrate the dynamics of these communities, we analyse the readers' discourse of Folha de S. Paulo, a Brazilian quality newspaper, on Instagram, to show the newsreaders' interaction and to propound the characteristics that establish a discourse community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes to investigate a historically localized transformation in journalism - the transition from the print journalism model as a media support towards converged, integrated and multimedia digital platforms in the 2010s - in order to review, point out limitations and incorporate new elements into the innovation theories increasingly applied to these situations. From a case study of this transition in a newspaper in the state of Sergipe, Brazil, in 2017 and 2018, we seek to indicate analytical gains in research that articulate theoretical approaches based on the technological perspectives in relation to social phenomena that condition journalistic experiences and thus point to the possibility of building a more complex and articulated conceptual framework involving innovation studies and social theories.

This paper intends to contribute to the deepening of the state of the art of journalism studies in relation to the journalist 's autonomy regarding the editorial policy of vehicles, based on the evaluation of the ethical implications involved in the epistemological question of the linguistic/pragmatic turn of the traditional scientific paradigms from positivist to constructivist. In this context, controversial issues in the field of journalism study are addressed, such as the concept of objectivity and the authorship of the journalist in the construction of the news. This purpose is pursued from the pragmatic contributions of George Mead and Charles Peirce to their continuations in more recent theorizations. The reflection problematizes the commitment of journalism to the ethics of communication and a post conventional moral posture based on the commitment of journalism with the strengthening of public authority and the empowerment of citizenship.

This theoretical article discusses the central purpose of journalism in democratic societies, which is to inform in a qualified sense. The paper brings a mapping of authors about the role of journalism in informing, from the first known thesis on journalism in 1690. In addition, it points out that the role of informing is primordial in the discourse of media companies, journalists and readers when they define the duty of journalism in society. From the understanding that one cannot understand the purpose of informing as a finalistic process, it is pointed out that it is necessary to differentiate information from journalistic information. It is concluded that the information must have some attributes of quality, without which it would be invalidating to classify an information as journalistic. In order to be qualified, the information must be verified, relevant, contextualized, plural and engaging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to understand the mediation of the other and its critical potential starting from the racism debate of television show that produces "experiments" with the everyday life, called Vai fazer o quê? (TV Globo). Initially, we investigate what the representation built in one of the episodes of this show tells us about the social and media contemporary contexts and we relect on how this narrative that tries to criticize Brazilian racism ends up being itself crossed by racist ideologies. At last, we question the ethical limits of a television "experiment" that puts ordinary subjects in sufering situations without their consent and we try to apprehend the show's role on the critics it makes on racism in Brazilian society.

Facing many forms of media criticism, we propose, in this paper, the attention to the media criticism actualized in the ombudsman journalistic interventions. We suppose, from the point of view of discourse analysis, that such performance speaks about the journalism practices in relation to its ield, as a whole, and in relation to the vehicle, in its editorial politics. herefore, we suppose that the ombudsman reports also speak, at least as presupposition, sub-intention or allusion, about the discourses that circulate in a culture. In order to apprehend positions, circulating discourses and criticism exercises, we explore Paula Cesarino Costa's articles in Folha de S. Paulo, pioneer newspaper in the ombudsman introduction, a presence since 1989. Our focus will be this ombudsman writings previously, concomitantly and subsequently to the truck-driver strike in May 2018, event chosen because of its temporal and geographical extent.

The current panorama of the journalistic newsrooms, in which journalists increasingly need to handle multiple tasks in reduced teams, is among the factors that can contribute to the critical reflection on journalistic making is left in the background. On the contrary to this scenario, there are "books by reporters" (MARO-CCO, 2011; 2016), that open space to the critical interpretation of the journalists and the construction of an individual authorship. This paper is inserted in this context and it presents an exploratory research on the theme starting from the analysis of Viagem a Palestina: Prisao a ceu aberto, by Adriana Mabilia (2013), highlighting the endogenous and exogenous critic present in the book.

This paper is based on the contribution of two theoretical-methodological approaches expressively disseminated in the journalism studies ield - frame analysis and rhetorical criticism - in order to develop a critical analysis of the concept of "construction news-value", conception originated from European authors, such as Traquina (2008) and Wolf (2003), with signiicant reception in Brazilian journalism schools. Rooted on authors such as Gofman (2012), Gitlin (2003), Entman (1993) e Kuypers (2009), this article elaborates a critical view to the concept of "construction news-value" and it contributes on the understanding that both approaches mentioned above can ofer a more elaborated theoretical-methodological base in comparison with a news classiication from ixed parameters supposedly shared in the journalistic ield.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the editorial sports content from two main newspapers in Amapá; A Gazeta and Jornal do Dia. We analyzed editions of both newspapers during the period of September, October and November, in 2014. We based our analysis on Bardin's Content Analysis model (1977) and Galtung and Ruge's study on newsworthy criteria (1965). his study is also based on considerations and discussions on specialized sports journalism, as in Tavares (2009). Here, the logic of specialized journalism, adopted by the media in question, is divided thematically, that is, in journals/editorials, without a specialized coverage bias in the qualitative and in-depth approach to content. Moreover, in analyzing the content, under the bias of newsworthiness, it was concluded that the approach taken by publications of sports items does not conigure a picture of the reality of local practices related to the sports universe, because it is still very much linked to the reproduction of materials of other states.

This paper aims to analyze the way the narrator articulates in literary journalism through the book-report O jornalista e o assassino written by Janet Malcolm. Knowing that the study about the narrator is scarce in the area of communication we are worth, especially, by the premises of Walter Benjamin who, among other authors, elucidates the narrative issues allowing interdisciplinarity. We conclude, from this research, that the narrator of this work tries to use a language close to orality and presents a tone of advice to receptors. In addition, this narrator intertwines with the igure of the author, who narrates in the irst person and does not maintain distance but, instead, presents herself as part of the narrative.

This paper presents the survey of theses and dissertations published in Communication and Journalism Brazilian postgraduate programs (1972-2015) to quantify the research about Journalism, exposing the regional distribution of this productions and to identify a gender profile of the researchers. In order to carry out the research, it was necessary to cross data provided by the thesis and dissertations bank of Capes, Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, mapping published by a project developed at UFRGS (theses and dissertations from the area from 1992 to 2002), repositories online, institutions sites, postgraduate programs sites and internal catalogs in some institutions. Although a content analysis of production is not the objective, this article contributes to understanding the development of the field's programs and the academic production on Journalism in the country. The result of the mapping indicates that about a quarter of the Brazilian research developed in Communication programs are about Journalism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The characteristic of political journalism, structured in the conflict, leads to believe that the struggle of forces occurs at all the time and in all the instances. This process involves a complex network of interests that give the news relevant political weight. This paper discusses the political news coverage in print publications from the perspective of frameworks studies (GAMSON; MODIGLIANI, 1989; GAMSON; LASCH, 1980; VIMIEIRO; MAIA, 2011) and Content Analysis (BARDIN, 2011). The text is a part that shows the results of the master's thesis "News frameworks of Sartori's Government: the selection of sources in the newspaper Zero Hora". The aspects of reality highlighted by the frames compose 17 main packages that synthesizes the frameworks of 2015 in a polarized way, with predominance of contestation frames versus reinforcement frames of the government. Regarding the sources, the data demonstrates the dichotomy between the government and the civil servants, indicating that the main political dispute in the State that year was between the public administration and their functionaries.

In this paper it is briefly analyzed the coverage of 2014's FIFA World Cup (headquartered in Brazil) aired by the Brazilian TV newscast Jornal Nacional. We present empirical data collected in a research project conducted by the author that allow us to observe what is considered here as an adaptation in the editorial line of the television news. It is addressed the hypothesis that such variation would be potentially motivated by both the cultural relevance that football has in the country, and the interest of reaching higher audience ratings by Globo's TV news program due to the coverage of the event. Additionally, it is pointed that the variation (observed both quantitatively and qualitatively in the categories of the typically aired news in that TV program) started before the beginning of the tournament.

This paper analyses journalistic interview as a research subject. After conducting a review of the Brazilian literature on this subject, we found four main approaches: the technical-normative literature on the typologies and norms to conduct this interaction; works with an historical-archeological ambition in which the interview is associated to the development of information journalism in Brazil; studies that analyze the interactions between interviewer, interviewee and public; and studies on the way these conversations are restituted. This review points out that journalistic interview is briefly covered by the communication studies. Some publications often reinforces a technical and normative interpretation of the interview. On other hand, interview is seen as a departure point to a larger discussion on journalism practice and on journalism-sources relationships. These studies seek to question or reinforce the journalist- interviewer's role as a representative of public interest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The media, and journalism with them, play a key role in the social construction of environmental problems.

It is possible that international media coverage can have a liberal approach when dealing with an emerging economy such as Brazil. This paper evaluates how the North-American correspondent Larry Rohter, from The New York Times, based his journalistic economic analysis on a neoliberal prescription. This newspaper can represent how a big international media debates and suggests economic reforms that involve open markets - the so-called "Washington Consensus". This article analyzes how the economic coverage of The New York Times, during the long period of mid- 1980 until the end of the first decade of the 21st century, has shifted its evaluation on the Brazilian economy, repositioning the country between a negative pole to a more positive one, when comparing economic indexes.

This paper analyzes the images of the "COLETA 2015" campaign - fundraising action in favor of combating extreme poverty realized by the "TETO", a nonprofit organization. When denouncing the socioeconomic reality of millions of Brazilians the campaign with the slogan "the problem it is not what is news but what stops being ultimately also report known phenomenon from the 1990s by tabloidization. This debate from context of Europe Western and of the United States it was studied by authors as Sparks (1998), Esser (1999), Turner (1999), Sparks and Tulloch (2000). One of the central subjects of this debate appears for the unbalance of the agenda contemporary media: persists a tendency of the media in general to dedicate a lot of attention to the aspects of the private life of the people, mainly celebrities, public characters as politicians, and per times, little to the aspects political, social and economical of cash it interests public, as the poverty, for instance.

To accomplish this work it appealed to an exploratory research in which bibliographical research was used. Among the achieved results, it was constated that the crowdfunding is a innovation under several theoretical currents point of view. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper assumes that the opposite poles of fame and obscurity, as emerged in Gay Talese's work, have become a paradigm for certain narrative journalism, with some influence in Brazilian contemporary reportage. Initially, we investigate the context in which this social approach was consolidated, in New Journalism, and its critical potential. Then, we analyze this paradigm in Brazilian reportages, written by the journalists Fred Melo Paiva and Christian Carvalho Cruz. We aim at identifying and comprehending the principal aspects of our society revealed by the texts, considering this polarization. Some results show that the reportages claim for the visibility of anonymous and excluded individual in our society and criticize the ways mainstream media tell the stories of lives whether ordinary or famous.

This paper presents the results of a case study on the impact of an investigative article on public policy change. The analyzed case was an article published by Época magazine about the ill effects of asbestos use and production. Soon after the publication, 18 bills have been approved in order to prohibit asbestos use. Consequently, the number of workers directly exposed to asbestos has reduced by 80%. Interviews and analysis of documents demonstrated the straight connection between the article and the bill's approval. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In a scenario marked by flexible working and identity tensions, the paper intends to an effort of theorizing and understanding of the work of the journalist in addition to their "traditional" identity (contracted with a formal contract) from three distinct and complementary plans: 1) the production plan, involving theory of value and critique of political economy, in addition to the types of labor relations; 2) platforms and devices while speeches considering language as work; 3) the "brand" identity resulting from the process considering subjectivities and performances. We seek to highligt the signic and productive circulation of the journalist's work by circulating where the ideological di-rections of its activity of communication and work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Placed between Literature and Journalism by amalgamating fact checking to the narrative aesthetics of fiction, Literary Journalism faces the challenge of producing works of ambiguous character. One of the factors in this dispute is the use of composite characters, created by combining biographic features of a number of sources in a single person. In this paper we discuss the borders between fact and fiction in this kind of narrative in two instances. The first is a historical one, with a focus on the profiles about Hugh Griffin Flood by American reporter Joseph Mitchell (1908-1996) published in the New Yorker magazine in the 1940s. The second one puts an emphasis on the separation between real and fake characters, treated as fraud in the press from the 1980s due to cases such as those of The Washington Post reporter Janet Cooke and The New York Times reporter Jason Blair, in 2003.

This paper presents an analysis of the interests of Internet users who access information sites. For that, we use data on the most searched news in Brazilian's five major news sites - UOL, Terra, G1, O Globo and Folha.com. The collection of this material occurred during the election period of 2012 and was replicated in the same period of 2013, year no election. Is discussed, compared, changes and maintenance with regard to the themes of the news and features that were the most read of the day these media analyzed in both periods. It is considered important to identify what kind of information draws attention of users in this space, under the assumption that news characterized as soft news (entertainment, celebrity and sports) offer little substantive to add to the debate, while hard news (health, education, politics, violence, minorities etc) highlight issues of public interest. Altogether, there were 1,929 entries from 2012 and 1,806 of 2013. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates whether the media representation of Angelina Jolie's preventive mastectomy in the newspapers Folha de São Paulo and O Globo contributed to the reader understanding on hereditary breast cancer. Coverage of hereditary breast cancer has high value of newsworthiness: involves, for example, fear, relationships between mothers and daughters, sexual and social significance of the breasts and the impact of heredity in young women like Jolie. The content analysis showed that the coverage may have helped lessen the stigma surrounding the disease.
