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]

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 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 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.

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 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 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 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]

This paper aims to make a critical reflection about the changes that are occurring in Brazilian television with the entry of a new and expressive band of people to the consumer market. From 2005 to 2011 the so-called middle class has grown from 34% to 54% of the population, reaching the mark of 103 million people. And a direct reflection of the increase that immediately affects the consumption of assets is the strategy of open TV to attract the market that is growing, seeking to raise its audience.

Bauman, Moretzsohn, Ramos, France, Fechine and Wolton, among others, will help us theoretically to understand the paths of analysis that we intend to do. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Journalism is constructed through narrative, a key element in building worlds by subjects participating in the communicative process. The newspaper story is transformed and takes on new structures as journalism goes through changes. At certain times in history, the involvement of writes with journalistic practice modifies the newspaper report, the text giving factual aspects of literature. The convergence of these two fields (journalism and literature) in a single textual space makes room for questions about the boundaries between fiction and reality. In Rio de Janeiro decades of 20 and 30 this relationship between literature and journalism was noted in the newspapers of the time and if there was a space where this relationship was explicit, was in the police report. In this paper, we propose a comparative analysis between the literary and journalistic prose writer, journalist and playwright, Nelson Rodrigues, in order to demonstrate the degree of influence held between the two fields in the construction of the narrative rodriguiana.

This paper proposes a analysis of the narrative models used by newspapers Diário de Pernambuco and Jornal do Commercio in the reports about a political scandal occurred during the municipal elections of 2004, in Recife City. The electoral dispute was between the parties PMDB and PT and their candidates. We have the assumption that the journalistic narrative structures, in some points similar to those used in literature, dramatize the events and remodel the politicians involved in the fact in characters. The use of those structures denies the myth of objectivity underpinned by the professional ideology of journalism, which sees the news as a faithful mirror of reality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the importance of creating a regulatory body for the area of journalism from the proposal to establish a Federal Council of Journalism adopted by the 1st Confecom (National Conference on Communications) in 2009. With this objective, we conducted a review of worldwide experiences, mainly european, with the press councils, most of autoregulation. These experiments show that it is possible to create rules that enhance the sector without hurting the major premise of freedom of expression. The defense oh this freedom was the main argument for abandoning the idea of the council by the House of Representatives en 2004, when it was first proposed. Lawmakers prefered a liberal-pluralist perspective rather than a deliberative one in developing rules of professional conduct. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
