Nos finalistas do Online Journalism Awards, há um domínio esmagador de sites de língua inglesa. Que eu tenha reparado da lista que colocou, aparece um francês, dedicado a um tema específico – a volta a França em bicicleta! No tema “breaking news”, a captura de Saddam Hussein aparece em primeiro lugar. Reparo também que os grandes jornais, como o Washington Post e o New York Times, surgem destacados. E no “service journalism”, os temas são actuais: droga, telefones celulares, canais online nas escolas.Para além do notório interesse do seu post, devemos reflectir na questão do agendamento. O que se produz em termos de notícias é o que é agendado pelos grandes media. E a escolha dos finalistas aos prémios de jornalismo em linha reproduz esse mesmo agenda-setting.E parece-me que estes prémios têm uma estrutura semelhante aos óscares ou grammies, pela divisão de categorias. Que é interessante isso é, mas e o resto do mundo – como é que ele se organiza e premeia?
Rogério, muito pertinente o seu comentário. Acho que tem razãoquando diz que “O que se produz em termos de notícias é o que é agendado pelos grandes media. E a escolha dos finalistas aos prémios de jornalismo em linha reproduz esse mesmo agenda-setting.” Agora sobre o resto do mundo… é o resto do mundo. Paciência!
