Abstract(s)
Os escândalos judiciais mediáticos são processos jurídicos que perduram na História como momentos de tensão, ruptura de mentalidades e, dependendo da intensidade, de mudanças legislativas. Põem ainda em confronto duas áreas fulcrais: os media e a Justiça. Num país onde proliferam estes casos é importante aferir o modo como estas estórias são apresentadas nos jornais, como é realizada a sua cobertura jornalística e quais os efeitos para os consumidores dos media. Para responder a essas indagações foi realizada uma análise de conteúdo do jornal Correio da Manhã – versão impressa e website- relativa aos processos ‘Apito Dourado’ e ‘Face Oculta’. O primeiro pôs em destaque a corrupção que defraudava o futebol, e o segundo trouxe à tona negócios realizados entre proeminentes figuras das áreas empresarial e política.
A abordagem teórica foi realizada com contributos das áreas do Jornalismo, do Direito e da Sociologia, de modo a construir uma base que reflectisse os principais pontos de convergência e divergência entre actores mediáticos e judiciários, principais problemáticas inerentes aos escândalos e a influência na edificação da opinião pública. Para ter uma visão mais completa sobre o tema, o âmbito empírico foi desdobrado em dois estudos. O primeiro incide sobre a cobertura jornalística da publicação, o segundo verifica as repercussões do desempenho mediático sobre a opinião dos leitores. Os resultados demonstraram, nomeadamente, que a cobertura dos dois casos seguiu orientações sensacionalistas que geraram um sentimento negativo na sociedade e influenciaram a noção de culpabilidade/inocência dos arguidos, funcionando como julgamentos a nível mediático e na sociedade.
Mediated judicial scandals are legal processes that linger in history as moments of tension, break mindsets and, depending on the intensity, of legislative amendments. Yet, they put together two key areas: media and Justice. In a country where proliferate these cases it is important to assess how these stories are presented in newspapers, how is performed press coverage and what the are the effects on consumers of media. To answer these questions, a content analysis of the newspaper Correio da Manhã was done - print and website - on 'Apito Dourado' and 'Face Oculta's processes. The first one highlights the corruption that defrauded football, and the second brought up transactions between prominent figures from business and political areas. The theoretical approach was performed with contributions from the areas of Journalism, Law and Sociology, in order to build a basis that reflects the main points of convergence and divergence between media and judicial actors, main problems inherent to the scandals and its influence in building public opinion. To get fuller view on the subject, the empirical framework was split into two studies. The first focuses on the publication news coverage; the second verifies the media performance impact on readers opinion. The results showed, namely, that the coverage of the two cases followed hyped guidelines that generated a negative feeling in society and influenced the notion of guilt/innocence of the defendants, acting as judgments in media and in public opinion.
