“…Not surprisingly, scholars adopting Gramscian and ideology-critical approaches have always been sceptical of journalistic claims to neutrality and impartiality, pointing out the various ways in which journalism intervenes in political conflicts and affects their outcomes (e.g., Hall et al 1978;Hackett 1984;Raeijmaekers and Maeseele 2017;Laws and Chojnicka 2020). In a seminal analysis along these lines, Stuart Hall (1974) argued that the formal requirements and journalistic practices that produced "balanced" and "impartial" reporting in British broadcasting were tied to underlying assumptions about the distribution of political power.…”

This exploratory study addresses the relationship between audience trust in the news media and the ideal of neutrality in journalism. It starts from the premise that, at a time when national conservatism is on the rise as a political movement in Western societies, journalism is less and less recognised as a neutral actor in politics. Therefore, efforts to present itself as such may be damaging journalism's credibility and trustworthiness among its publics. The article examines this premise on the basis of a representative survey of Finnish media audiences and three focus group interviews, asking how Finns' expressed trust or distrust of the mainstream news media is connected to their perceptions about journalism's neutrality and impartiality-or lack thereof-in political debate. The findings indicate that while the large majority of Finnish audiences express trust in the mainstream news media, they are divided when it comes to their level of confidence in journalism's neutrality. Moreover, both trust and perceptions of neutrality are strongly associated with audiences' political outlook. We conclude that audience distrust of the media mainly reflects the difficulties that mainstream journalism faces in giving an equal voice to all political groups and views at a time of heightened ideological contestation.

“…As falas dos participantes da pesquisa sugerem que os jornalistas deveriam expressar mais emoção e até fazer chamados explícitos aos seus públicos em prol do enfrentamento climático. Tal prática remete ao advocacy journalism (Laws & Chojnicka, 2020), que compreende um jornalismo posicionado em defesa de interesses coletivos: para o que você tá fazendo agora, escuta isso, a gente precisa fazer alguma coisa juntos e juntas. É urgente.…”

Recordes de temperatura e eventos climáticos extremos são cada vez mais frequentes no Brasil, sendo a proteção de biomas e, especialmente, da Amazônia um dos pontos centrais nesse debate. Ainda assim, governos e grandes corporações não têm enviado esforços à altura dessas demandas globais. Para reverter a situação, o jornalismo (que, neste artigo, pode ser entendido como jornalismos) coloca-se como um aspecto importante de visibilidade do debate público e, principalmente, como alavancador do engajamento por parte da sociedade civil, apontando causas, responsabilidades e possíveis soluções a fim de encorajar o envolvimento de todos na resolução dos problemas identificados. A partir do olhar de ativistas brasileiros sobre diferentes temas ou causas, este artigo discute as fronteiras do jornalismo e suas novas possíveis configurações híbridas na relação com o engajamento na causa climática. A partir da perspectiva dos estudos culturais, foi realizado um estudo de recepção, no ano de 2022, com a condução de grupos focais online, com ativistas, de 18 até 35 anos, das cinco regiões do Brasil. A categorização das falas, feita a partir da análise de conteúdo, levou em consideração a irrupção de temas recorrentes e sua relação com o aporte teórico. Dentre os resultados de pesquisa, evidenciou-se, na fala dos participantes, uma permeabilidade de fronteiras entre jornalismo e outros gêneros comunicacionais, sendo que os ativistas também instigaram a possibilidade de o jornalismo adotar mais práticas e características de outros gêneros para propiciar mais engajamento em relação às questões climáticas.

“…Journalism can either contribute to or hinder social change [48][49][50][51]. So-called "yellow", "sensationalist", or "tabloid" journalism is often driven by ideological perspectives and interests unrelated to the overcoming of social issues.…”

Scientific evidence of social impact demonstrates how violence against children is successfully prevented. Currently, the scientific research on social impact has a focus on the analysis of actions that succeed in the implementation of such scientific evidence. This article is based on scientific research that looks at which media actions help or hinder the implementation of evidence-based actions to solve the most sensitive social problems. The social media analytics methodology has identified the posts and reposts generated during two consecutive days by news articles published by three newspapers about the official report on child sexual abuse in Spain. Their analyses have been made through communicative methodology, including voices of adult victims or survivors of child sexual abuse. The results indicate that media information that omits scientific evidence of social impact provokes battles between diverse ideological groups, while information based on scientific evidence of social impact generates consensus among people from different ideologies and actions oriented to overcome the problem.
