Abstract(s)
A Covid-19 constitui um desafio societal total. Os media e o jornalismo estão no centro dos acontecimentos na medida em que desempenham várias funções consideradas vitais na gestão da crise pandémica. Entre elas, destaca-se a função facilitadora que constitui o jornalismo como canal privilegiado de comunicação entre poder político e autoridades de saúde e a população. Este desafio acontece num momento em que, também fruto da própria pandemia, se registam mudanças significativas na própria atividade jornalística: na forma como os jornalistas encaram a profissão, na configuração da agenda noticiosa e nos critérios de escolha das fontes de informação. O presente artigo dá conta de alguns resultados obtidos a partir de um inquérito a jornalistas e da análise de conteúdo de 2933 peças noticiosas publicadas no Público e no Jornal de Notícias. Em linhas gerais, destacam-se a emergência de um jornalismo que orienta comportamentos, mas que apresenta oscilações no acompanhamento da doença, uma maior atenção à promoção da literacia em saúde e um acrescido cuidado com as questões éticas e uma procura acentuada de especialistas, escolhidos por critérios que se afastam da notoriedade prévia.
Covid-19 constitutes a full societal challenge. Media and journalism are at the centre of events as they play several roles considered vital in the management of the pandemic crisis. Among them, the facilitating role of journalism as a privileged channel of communication between political power and health authorities and the population stands out. This challenge takes place at a time when, also as a result of the pandemic itself, there are significant changes in journalistic activity itself: in the way journalists view the profession, in the configuration of the news agenda and in the criteria for choosing sources of information. The present article reports some of the results obtained from a survey to journalists and from the content analysis of 2933 news items published in Público and Jornal de Notícias. Globally, we highlight the emergence of a journalism that guides behaviours but that presents oscillations in the monitoring of the disease, a greater attention to the promotion of health literacy and an increased concern with ethical issues, and an accentuated search for specialists, chosen according to criteria that differ from mere previous notoriety.
