“…Studies on journalism have been pointing out the impact caused by new digital and communication resources on reformatting the way information professionals work (Tong, 2017). One of the most obvious examples of this transformation of labour routines occurs in the relationship with the sources and events, where the emergence of new ways of communication made possible the use of remote and more depersonalised contact formulae (Berkowitz, 2019).…”

A pandemia da covid-19 e o subsequente processo de confinamento conduziram a linhas de convulsão em diferentes setores da sociedade. Marcado por um contexto de instabilidade e incerteza, onde diferentes manifestações de transformação tecnológica, económica e social potenciam novas práticas e convenções, bem como suscitam novos e renovados desafios deontológicos, o jornalismo não é exceção. Com base nas respostas de um inquérito a 890 jornalistas portugueses, o presente artigo procura mapear os efeitos do estado de emergência de março a abril de 2020 nas práticas e rotinas, e nos preceitos ético-profissionais de uma atividade que avoca uma reavivada relevância num ambiente de desinformação e “infodemia”. Mais do que revelarem novos problemas, os resultados sugerem uma acentuação dos desafios e dilemas pré-existentes. No plano das práticas, indicia-se uma domiciliação relativamente transversal da atividade. Este fenómeno é acompanhado por marcas de despersonalização do contacto com as fontes e eventos, e por sinais de isolamento social dos jornalistas. No campo ético-deontológico, sublinha-se a emergência de questões deontológicas particulares no contexto da pandemia, onde os aspetos relacionados com o rigor — rejeição do sensacionalismo, distinção clara entre factos e opiniões ou repúdio de quaisquer formas de censura —, assim como os elementos subjacentes ao contacto com as fontes, assumem especial dimensão.

“…Methodologically, I used mixed methods, drawing on previous studies that examined newsrooms' experimentation and transition to the practice. I conducted interviews with journalists, carried out a newsroom ethnography (following Anderson, 2013b, Bockowski, 2004Boyer, 2011Boyer, , 2013Robinson, 2010;Singer, 2013) and employed archive research and trace ethnography (analyzing comment threads on interactive platforms (Ford, 2015;Geiger & Ribes, 2011;Meraz & Papacharissi, 2013;Tong, 2017). I designed case studies, each of which allowed me to unpack different processes that facilitated/hindered the participation of audiences and the realization of the democratic potential of the practice.…”

“…In the process, although there have been some changes in the concept and form of journalism, the democratic role of journalism remains the same. Journalism is still expected to serve the needs of democracy, to balance and scrutinize power, and to tell the truth, which are the most essential elements of journalism (Tong & Lo, 2017).…”
