Os eventos mundiais estão cada vez mais próximos, com a televisão a assumir o papel de janela aberta para os eventos que ocorrem longe do nosso país. O fenómeno da globalização criou novas possibilidades para a cobertura de notícias internacionais, com novos canais de comunicação e tecnologias, introduzindo cada vez mais formas de manter contacto com uma variedade de lugares e culturas.
Considerando a televisão como um dos principais veículos de transmissão de imagens de países estrangeiros e de construção da realidade social, este relatório pretende analisar como as notícias internacionais são retratadas e como os eventos internacionais são selecionados pelo noticiário de horário nobre 360º, transmitido pela RTP3. Ademais, esta investigação visa explorar o potencial domínio dos países ocidentais ou desenvolvidos nas notícias internacionais, em oposição à falta de cobertura dos países em desenvolvimento.
Para cumprir os objetivos propostos, a metodologia aplicada consiste na análise categorial de 30 dias de noticiários, distribuídos ao longo de seis meses de observação, o que possibilita identificar os principais tópicos retratados nas notícias internacionais produzidas pela RTP3 e a cobertura divergente entre países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento. Entre os resultados apurados foi possível encontrar evidências de importância na seleção de assuntos internacionais relacionados com política, desporto e sociedade, tal como do domínio de países ocidentais ou europeus nas notícias do noticiário em estudo.
The proximity of world events is closer than ever, with television being an open window for those that occur far from our country. The phenomenon of globalization created new possibilities for the coverage of foreign news, with new channels of communication and new technologies introducing more and more ways to keep in touch with a variety of places and cultures. Regarding television as one of the main vehicles for the transmission of images of foreign countries and for the construction of social reality, this report intends to analyze how international news are portrayed and how foreign events are selected by the prime-time newscast 360º, transmitted in RTP3. Furthermore, this investigation aims to explore the potential domination of foreign news by western or developed countries as opposed to the lack of coverage of developing countries. In order to fulfill the objectives proposed, the methodology applied consists in a categorical analysis of 30 days of newscasts, spread throughout six months of observation, which makes it possible to identify the main topics portrayed in the foreign news produced by RTP3 and the divergent coverage between developed and developing countries. Amongst the findings it is possible to find evidence of the importance of the selection of issues regarding politics, as well as sports and society, and also of dominance of western or European countries in the news of the newscast in study.
