“…In their study of the Brazilian News ecosystem, Ganter and Paulino (2020) revealed how independent digital journalists have worked to counteract dominant media ideologies and by doing so larger hegemonic societal beliefs (Ganter & Paulino, 2020). Tactics used by self-identifying journalists can be used to achieve a similar result in Canadian media.…”

In recent years, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) has bolstered its diversity efforts, and in 2021 they announced a new equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) plan to be implemented through 2025, designed to better serve underrepresented groups in Canadian media. Throughout the past decade, CBC has made multiple efforts to increase EDI practices throughout its organization. However, scholarship has identified the limitations of previous policies in making a meaningful impact, and research documenting the underrepresentation of diverse groups in Canadian news media is almost non-existent. The objective of this study is to acquire a deeper understanding of how CBC News programming reflects Canada’s current cultural diversity by studying how diverse groups are represented in CBC News programming. To measure this, a two-week content analysis of written and televised CBC News was conducted, which explored and categorized emergent themes in the representation of diverse Canadians and the journalists who cover diverse stories. The data revealed CBC's extensive coverage of Indigenous communities and a commitment to empowering diverse journalists with the opportunity to tell such stories about the communities to which they belong. To further investigate the latter phenomenon, a discourse analysis of diverse stories written by self-identifying journalists was conducted. This section highlighted how self-identifying journalists incorporate personal experience to tell more impactful stories about the communities they identify with. Finally, this report illuminates potential oversights in CBC’s coverage of underrepresented groups in news media. This report encourages CBC to conduct an internal organizational review to evaluate how they can improve news coverage of underrepresented groups before the conclusion of their current EDI plan in 2026, suggesting the continued empowerment of self-identifying journalists and including more diverse perspectives into the newsfeed as potential solutions.

“…When studying independent Brazilian media, Ganter and Paulino (2020) state that the virtual environment can pose several threats to the safety of professionals. Among such risks are attacks and online monitoring that compromise not only the freedom of journalists but also intimidate news sources.…”

RESUMO - As plataformas sociais são ambientes priorizados por governos populistas em todo o mundo e configuram espaços de troca de informação sem mediação jornalística. Invalidar a imprensa é uma estratégia de ação cada vez mais evidente de vozes políticas: um sinal de alerta de violência contra jornalistas, amplificada durante a pandemia de Covid-19. Jair Bolsonaro é um dos exemplos mais contundentes no espectro nacional e este artigo pretende compreender a frequência e tipos de ataque à imprensa presentes nos vídeos publicados pelo canal do presidente brasileiro no YouTube. Para tal, reúne-se uma metodologia híbrida com análise de conteúdo e métodos digitais. O recorte temporal abrange os 100 primeiros dias de crise – de 26 de fevereiro a 4 de junho de 2020. Os resultados apontam que a imprensa é citada em 36% do conteúdo. Destes, 40% representam críticas, 28% ataques verbais e 26% descredibilização. ABSTRACT - Social platforms are environments prioritized by populist governments around the world and spaces frequently used for exchanging information without journalistic mediation. Invalidating the press is an increasingly evident strategy by political voices: a warning sign of attacks against journalists, amplified during the Covid-19 pandemic. Jair Bolsonaro is one of the more striking examples in Brazil and this article aims to understand the frequency and types of attacks on the press in videos published by the Brazilian president’s YouTube channel. A hybrid methodology of content analysis and digital methods is developed for this study. The time frame covers the first 100 days of the health crisis in the country – from February 26 to June 4, 2020. The results show that the press is mentioned in 36% of the content; 40% of which represents criticism, 28% verbal attacks and 26% media discredit.

Para tal fin, se desarrolla una metodología híbrida con análisis de contenido y métodos digitales. El marco de tiempo cubre los primeros 100 días de la crisis de salud en el país – del 26 de febrero al 4 de junio de 2020. Los resultados muestran que la prensa se menciona en el 36% del contenido, en el que el 40% representa críticas, el 28% Ataques Verbales y 26% de descrédito mediático.

“…These spatial shifts in reporting practices are most notably manifest through transnational journalism, such as transnational media outlets that consider ‘more than one nation as the home audience’ (Grieves, 2012: 8), or transnational investigative collaborative projects, like the Panama and Paradise papers (Lewis, 2018). In Latin America, independent digital outlets have been at the forefront of such efforts to create journalist networks that are useful not just for reporting (Cueva Chacón and Saldaña, 2021) but also for safety, resilience and the strengthening of independent journalism – what Ganter and Paulino (2021) conceptualized as ‘positive dependence.’ Research on this move towards transnational, often digital, journalism recognizes the impacts of fluid borders on journalists, news content and even audiences (Higgins Joyce and Harlow, 2020), thus pointing to the need to further understand this spatial turn.…”

Local, national, regional and global networks of power intersect in this digital era, raising questions of how re-conceived notions of space in networked societies impact journalism. This study surveyed journalists ( n = 1094) from 20 Latin American countries to explore how spatial dimensions are influencing how journalists’ roles are perceived in the region, within the hierarchy of influences model. It identified the disseminator/informational role – a role traditionally less common among journalists in Latin America – as most impacted by the spatial shifts at the organizational level (geographic scope), social-institutional level (geo-cultural regions) and social systems level (social network structures). As journalists’ work becomes connected with extra-national networks, their perceptions of roles shift, with relevant consequences for journalistic practices.
