Abstract(s)
O ambiente e as alterações climáticas assumem cada vez mais um papel de
destaque na cobertura mediática, o que veio realçar as características específicas da
cobertura destes temas. O jornalismo especializado em ambiente tem, deste modo, vindo a
encontrar obstáculos provenientes de uma visão tradicional, do jornalismo e de conceitos
como a objetividade. O conceito de jornalismo de soluções tem vindo a ganhar
popularidade nas redações e entre jornalistas, em países como os Estados Unidos da
América, como uma forma de contornar algumas das adversidades que o jornalismo
convencional tem demonstrado. A cobertura ambiental é uma área onde, os critérios
jornalísticos de negatividade estão presentes, resultando num público desmotivado, que
apresenta fadiga por compaixão. O jornalismo de soluções pretende dar resposta a estas
questões, ao fornecer ferramentas para combater estes problemas, e tornar o público mais
envolvido.
O presente relatório de estágio pretende analisar de que forma este conceito é visto
nos meios de comunicação em Portugal, e de uma forma mais específica entre os
jornalistas que cobrem as temáticas ambientais, utilizando como amostra o grupo Cofina.
Neste relatório foram realizadas entrevistas exploratórias aos diretores da revista Sábado e
do jornal Correio da Manhã, assim como entrevistas em profundidade aos editores e
jornalistas da revista Sábado, que cobrem notícias ambientais. O resultado destas
entrevistas permitiu perceber que ainda existe alguma oposição, por parte dos jornalistas e
editores, relativamente ao jornalismo de soluções, assim como uma adesão às funções
tradicionais dos jornalistas. Este estudo também mostrou como há divergência nas
conceções da importância de notícias ambientais entre a direção e os jornalistas, e que a
negatividade e o conflito são critérios para a escolha de notícias sobre este tema.
Environmental issues and climate change play an increasingly prominent role in media coverage, revealing the specific characteristics of covering these subjects. Due to that, environmental specialised journalism has encountered obstacles caused by a traditional view of journalism and concepts such as objectivity. The concept of solutions journalism has been gaining popularity in newsrooms and among journalists in countries like the United States of America, as a way to address some of the challenges traditional journalism has been facing. Environmental coverage is a subject where journalistic criteria of negativity is present, resulting in a disengaged audience, overwhelmed with compassion fatigue. Solutions journalism is a way of responding by providing tools to fight these problems and making audiences more engaged. This internship report sets out to analyse how this concept is viewed in Portuguese media, using the Sábado newsmagazine as an object of study. In this report, exploratory interviews were done with the directors of both Sábado newsmagazine and Correio da Manhã newspaper, as well as in-depth interviews with editors and journalists who cover environmental news. The analysis of these interviews revealed the different perspectives and ideas journalists and editors have about solutions journalism, specifically how there is still some objection to this concept, and instead, an adherence to the traditional roles of journalists. This study also demonstrated a different perception by the editors and journalists regarding the importance of environmental news, and the use of negativity and conflict as criteria for news selection.
