Abstract(s)
As fontes de informação são um ativo fundamental para os meios de comunicação e permitem ao jornalista aceder aos acontecimentos. Face à situação vivida em Portugal entre 5 de março de 2020 e 7 de maio de 2020, período de confinamento motivado pelo novo coronavírus e pela doença COVID19, foi nosso objetivo tentar compreender de que forma a imprensa local abordou o assunto da doença, nomeadamente quais os géneros jornalísticos dominantes e qual a tipologia de fontes mais marcantes nas edições publicadas neste período. Centrámos a nossa análise no semanário Jornal da Bairrada e, de acordo com modelo taxonómico para a classificação das fontes de informação criado por Felisbela Lopes (2016), concluímos que existe uma dependência das fontes de informação, com uma primazia das fontes mais próximas e com um claro predomínio das fontes humanas. Esta análise envolveu dez edições, num total de 259 artigos, que abordavam direta ou indiretamente o vírus ou a doença, e entre as fontes humanas, evidencia-se também uma preferência pelas fontes profissionais, que falam em nome de um grupo, de um coletivo ou de uma classe profissional, bem como das fontes catalogadas como oficiais e que representam instituições públicas. No quadro de análise aos géneros jornalísticos, o estudo demonstrou, ainda, o recurso significativo a breves e a notícias como forma de comunicar os assuntos relativos às temáticas do novo coronavírus e da COVID19.
Information sources are a fundamental asset for the media and allow the journalist to access events. Given the situation experienced in Portugal between 5 March 2020 and 7 May 2020, a period of confinement motivated by the new coronavirus and the COVID19 disease, it was our goal to try to understand how the local press approached the subject of the disease, namely which journalistic genres were dominant and what were the most striking sources in the editions published in this period. We focused our analysis on the weekly newspaper Jornal da Bairrada and, according to the taxonomic model for the classification of information sources created by Felisbela Lopes (2016), we concluded that there is a dependence on information sources, with a primacy of the closest sources and with a clear predominance of human sources. This analysis involved ten editions, in a total of 259 articles, which directly or indirectly addressed the virus or disease, and among the human sources, there is also a preference for professional sources, which speak on behalf of a group, a collective or a professional class, as well as sources classified as official and representing public institutions. In the framework of analysis of journalistic genres, the study also demonstrated the significant use of briefs and news as a way to communicate issues related to the new coronavirus and COVID19.
