The legislative media and the redefinition of political newsworthiness in Brazil
Keywords:
Legislative, Political information, Newsworthiness, News-values.Abstract
Criteria of newsworthiness and news-values in political journalism in Brazil were re-defined with the rise of legislative media, among other institutional media created in the 1990s. Journalism produced by these media brings information directly to the citizens, besides feeding journalistic means and companies. However, it is questioned as a paternalistic practice of the State, which uses journalistic techniques in order to influence public opinion. This article debates the informative impact of this model, which resulted in the creation of a new category, the so-called “source media”, that offer ready news, avoiding that facts related to their institutional action pass through the filters of private media.Downloads
