Inovação social nos veículos jornalísticos independentes: um olhar para as narrativas sobre povos indígenas na Amazônia

Abstract

This dissertation seeks to analyze and understand the manifestations of innovation in journalism by looking at the productions of the following journalistic vehicles: InfoAmazonia, Agência Pública and Amazônia Real. The three of them classify themselves as independent vehicles and prioritize the Amazon in their posts. In order to compose the research corpus and delimit the investigated theme, a total of 38 reports on indigenous peoples in the region were selected. As the main theoretical references on communication and innovation in journalism, this research is based on studies by Rosseti (2013), Barbosa (2014), Longhi and Flores (2017), Pedro Varoni (2017), Martins (2018, 2021), Longhi (2020), Martins and Sousa (2020), Storch and Feil (2021), among others. A qualitative methodological approach is adopted, through State of the Art research techniques, with Norma Ferreira (2002) and Sampaio and Mancini (2007), and Content Analysis, with Laurence Bardin (2011). Among the innovation axes identified in the state of the art, we used the 'narrative' axis as a category of analysis. Based on this proposal, we sought to understand whether this and/or others axes of innovation in journalism are present in the analyzed reports and how they are constituted and delineated in these productions. It was based on the hypothesis that independent vehicles have their own way of addressing the matter of indigenous peoples, focused on a narrative of social nature that seeks to value the protagonism of these peoples in their approaches. With this, the main results point to the themes 'indigenous female protagonism', 'invasion of indigenous lands', 'politics', 'resistance', 'covid-19 (health)' and 'violence', contributing to the understanding of the social dimension of innovation in independent journalism.
