No cenário da comunicação digital, a crescente influência dos aplicativos de notícias – que abastecem instantaneamente o usuário por meio de um feed, com recortes de atualidades considerados relevantes – é decisiva para a construção de efeitos de sentidos a respeito dos fatos divulgados e consequentes registros de memória. Este livro deriva de ampla pesquisa que investigou esses efeitos em notícias veiculadas em dois aplicativos, um nacional (UOL, vinculado a um dos portais mais acessados do país, que divulga conteúdo do jornal Folha de S.Paulo) e um internacional (Le Monde), com respaldo no quadro teórico-metodológico da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa, priorizando as noções de destacamento e destacabilidade. Em seu conjunto, os capítulos do livro permitem o aprofundamento da visão sobre a cobertura midiática a respeito do Brasil em nível internacional. Os resultados demonstram que a constituição de identidades é amplamente afetada pelos modos de funcionamento jornalístico, cuja discursividade pauta-se no que chamamos de uma sintaxe do destacamento.

This book documents the unique reporting practices of humanitarian journalists – an influential group of journalists defying conventional approaches to covering humanitarian crises.Based on a 5-year study, involving over 150 in-depth interviews, this book examines the political, economic and social forces that sustain and influence humanitarian journalists. The authors argue that – by amplifying marginalised voices and providing critical, in-depth explanations of neglected crises – these journalists show us that another kind of humanitarian journalism is possible. However, the authors also reveal the heavy price these reporters pay for deviating from conventional journalistic norms. Their peripheral position at the ‘boundary zone’ between the journalistic and humanitarian fields means that a humanitarian journalist’s job is often precarious – with direct implications for their work, especially as ‘watchdogs’ for the aid sector. As a result, they urgently need more support if they are to continue to do this work and promote more effective and accountable humanitarian action.A rigorous study of how unique professional practices can be produced at the ‘boundary zone’ between fields, this book will interest students and scholars of journalism and communication studies, sociology and humanitarian studies. It will also appeal to those interested in studies of news and media work as occupational identities.

News media shape public opinion on social issues such as child sexual abuse (CSA), using particular language to foreground, marginalize or legitimize certain viewpoints. Given the prevalence of CSA and the impact of violence against children in Jamaica, there is a need to examine the representation of children and their experience of violence in the news media, which remain the main source of information about such abuse for much of the population. The study aims to analyze accounts of CSA in Jamaican newspapers in order to show how different representations impact public understanding of CSA. This study offers a new perspective around child abuse by using an eight-million word corpus from articles over a three-year period (2018- 2020). The study argues that media reports often fail to conceptualise and represent accurately children who have experienced abuse. Representations of children are generic, their experiences often reduced to statistical summaries. Corpus analysis uncovered the use of terms which normalize sexual abuse. From the reader’s perspective, there was little emotional connection to the child or the child’s experience. The newspapers rarely report first-hand survivors’ experience of abuse, depriving these children of a voice. Instead, a marked preference is given to institutional voices. An issue of concern is a tendency to sensationalism with disproportionate attention given to cases involving celebrities. By exposing these problems, the authors hope that news media in Jamaica can play a more positive role in heightening awareness around child abuse and allowing the voices of victims/ survivors to be heard.
