O jornalismo e a democracia têm uma relação de proximidade e influência mútua.
Enquanto o primeiro é um dos principais pilares dos sistemas democráticos, a segunda é
um garante de melhores condições para os media, que se refletem num melhor
funcionamento dos mesmos. Entre estes dois conceitos, no caso português, situa-se o 25
de Abril, que permitiu a construção de um regime democrático e a criação de melhores
condições para o exercício do jornalismo, tendo sido igualmente representado na
comunicação social, tanto em 1974 quanto nos seus aniversários.
O presente relatório tem por objetivo estudar a cobertura jornalística do
quinquagésimo aniversário da Revolução dos Cravos, assinalado em 2024,
especificamente pelo jornal PÚBLICO, precisamente enquanto exemplo prático da
relação entre jornalismo e democracia. O estudo segue uma metodologia mista, que se
baseia na análise de 81 artigos destacados na página “50 anos do 25 de Abril” no site do
jornal, bem como em entrevistas a quatro jornalistas com papéis relevantes na elaboração,
edição ou coordenação das mesmas peças jornalísticas.
Para compreender a estratégia da cobertura jornalística dos 50 anos do 25 de Abril,
deu-se especial ênfase aos ângulos, temáticas e formatos privilegiados, assim como à
forma como os conceitos de jornalismo e democracia foram abordados. Como tal, foi
possível perceber que predominaram ângulos sociais e históricos, com temas como os
direitos das mulheres, a democracia e episódios da história da Revolução. Quase metade
dos artigos foram reportagens, havendo também uma representação significativa de
crónicas e entrevistas. Embora o jornalismo não seja um tema frequente, a democracia é,
sendo retratada de vários ângulos, segundo várias perspetivas que defendem a sua
valorização.
Journalism and democracy mutually influence each other. The first is one of the main pillars of democratic systems, whereas the second ensures better conditions for the media, which reflect on its proper operation. Between these two concepts, in the Portuguese case, one can situate the Carnation Revolution, which allowed the foundation of a democratic regime and the creation of better conditions for the practice of journalism. It also had its media representation, both at the time, in 1974, and on its anniversaries. The aim of this report is to study the journalistic coverage of the fiftieth anniversary of the Carnation Revolution, which took place in 2024, specifically by the newspaper PÚBLICO, precisely as a practical example of the link between journalism and democracy. A mixed methodology was used in this study, including an analysis of 81 articles displayed on the page “50 years of April 25” available on the paper’s website, as well as interviews with four journalists with particularly important roles on the production, edition or coordination of the same contents. To better understand the strategy of the journalistic coverage of the fiftieth anniversary of the Carnation Revolution, the main angles, subjects and formats were emphasized, along with the approaches attributed to the concepts of journalism and democracy. It was, therefore, possible to conclude that social and historical angles were predominant, with subjects such as women’s rights, democracy and episodes from the Revolution’s history. Almost half of the articles that were analyzed were reports, but chronicles and interviews also had a significant representation. Although journalism itself wasn’t a recurring topic, democracy was, being portrayed from multiple angles, according to various perspectives that defend its appreciation and investment.
