Desafios do jornalismo cultural: valores-notícia e rotinas de produção no Segundo Caderno de O Globo durante a pandemia da COVID-19

Abstract

This work investigated the process of journalistic coverage carried out by the culture section of the print edition of the daily newspaper O Globo during 12 months (March 2020-March 2021), during the most intense period of the COVID-19 pandemic, considering the graphic and content analysis of news published in the Segundo Caderno supplement. The research focused on journalists’ production routines and how relationships with sources were affected in the first year of the pandemic, when other methods of news gathering and information production, using digital platforms and applications such as WhatsApp, proved fundamental to journalism. The research addresses the priorities and resources used by journalist and their adaptation to the new "rules" of production dictated by technology. Based on interactionist and ethnoconstructivist theories, the aim of this dissertation is to contribute to the studies of cultural supplements of daily newspapers, both in print and online, and to observe the transition from classic modes of reporting (e.g., personal contact or telephone) to the environment of digital platforms. The methods used were bibliographic research, documentary research and content analysis.
