A comparação da identidade dos jornalistas online em suas relações com os públicos no Brasil e na França

Abstract

ResumoO artigo analisa as interações entre jornalistas e públicos de redações on-line no Brasil e na França. Discute as novas modalidades de participação das audiências no jornalismo. Nesse sentido, busca-se entender as possíveis mudanças nessa relação, mas também o papel dos contextos nacionais na estruturação das práticas de jornalistas e públicos nos dois países. Esta pesquisa comparativa e qualitativa utilizou entrevistas em profundidade com dez jornalistas brasileiros e dez franceses a partir de um roteiro padrão. Os resultados revelaram similitudes na forma como os jornalistas enunciaram suas interações com os públicos dos dois países: as representações são geralmente estereotipadas e as audiências são apreendidas a partir de uma visão quantitativa. Essas constatações se juntam a outros estudos sobre o tema e que relativizam a capacidade de integração dos leitores nas redações on-line. Do ponto de vista dos estudos comparativos, elas permitem reforçar a nossa hipótese de uma identidade transnacional dos jornalista on-line, baseadas sobretudo na circulação de discursos estruturantes em relação a essas prática.Palavras-chave: jornalistas on-line, públicos, identidade, entrevistas, estudos comparativos. AbstractThis paper analyses the interactions between journalists and the public in Brazilian and French online newsrooms. It discusses the new modalities of audience participation in journalism. Thus, it aims to understand the possible changes in this relation. The role of national contexts on structuring the practices of journalism and the public is also considered. This comparative and qualitative research is focused on in-depth interviews with ten journalists from each country and used a common guide. The results reveal resemblances on how journalists enunciate their interactions with public from both countries: their representations are stereotyped and audiences are perceived through a quantitative bias. These findings reinforce other studies that minimize the ability of online newsrooms to integrate the public. From the viewpoint of comparative studies, our hypothesis of a transnational identity of online journalists is strengthened. This hypothesis is mainly based on the circulation of structured discourses related to this practice.

French theoretical and methodological influences on Brazilian journalism research

“…The researchers have analyzed the construction of journalists’ identities and the transformation of production routines and work relationships, in the digital media. Using in-depth interviews with journalists from each country, they have shown that journalistic identities have common aspects, which suggests a transnational character, despite the contextual differences between countries (Le Cam and Pereira, 2015, 2017).…”

Brazil, Belgium, and France: Avenues for Comparison Work

“…A new path began in 2013 during the 2nd Mejor Colloquium where discussions were held on international comparisons: conducting comparative research projects. Some researchers began to work together on projects (notably Le Cam & Pereira, 2017a;, and others began to collaborate together (such as Gilles Bastin from the Grenoble Institute of Political Studies and Jacques Mick from the Santa Catarina Federal University). These joint efforts led to collaborations between doctoral students from the Free University of Brussels (Belgium) and the University of Brasilia (Brazil), initiated in December, 2017.…”
