O infotainment no jornalismo: O impacto da vida privada, social e pública junto da imprensa popular portuguesa

Abstract

The popular press, linked to a sensationalist style, opts to privilege the interest of the public in order to solidify audiences. The infotainment follows this editorial logic and made grown the tendency to merge information and entertainment. Elevating the emotions exponencially, potentiating the entertainment and noticing the personal life of public figures does not generate unanimity among theoreticians. While some of them defend more balancing between informing and distracting functions, others underly that this communication strategy implies a loss of quality and credibility, accusing it of bad journalism. This dissertation, which problematic is centered on the infotainment phenomenon in the news of the popular press, contemplates the private, social and public dimensions of life of the protagonists of the stories and compares the force they exert in the decision making process. Thus, we analyzed the thematic Section "Vidas" of the daily newspaper Correio da Manhã and its weekly Supplements - "Sexta" and "Vidas" - because this newspaper, in addition to allying information to entertainment, is the audience leader and a successful popular press in Portugal. The results reveal the news that mixes information and entertainment aims to reach the public's interest by giving contents related, both, social life as well as private life - including intimacy. Nevertheless, within the news of private and intimate issues, there are a ethical and deontological issues that are not always respected by journalists and media outlets. At the same time, we realize that the audience is a important criteria that journalists take into account throughout the newsmaking process, which is not surprisingly given the commercial character of this publication and its Supplements.

A imprensa popular, ligada a um estilo sensacionalista, privilegia o interesse do público para solidificar audiências. O infotainment relaciona-se com esta lógica editorial e cresceu a tendência para fundir informação e entretenimento. Elevar as emoções a expoente máximo, potenciar o factor entretenimento e noticiar a vida pessoal de figuras públicas não gera unanimidade entre os teóricos. Uns defendem a necessidade de equilíbrio entre informar e distrair, outros sublinham que esta estratégia implica perda de qualidade e credibilidade, e acusam-na de mau jornalismo. Esta dissertação, com a problemática do fenómeno do infotainment na noticiabilidade da imprensa popular, contempla as dimensões da vida privada, social e pública dos protagonistas das estórias e compara a força que exercem aquando a tomada de decisão e selecção valorativa. Analisamos a Secção “Vidas” do jornal diário generalista Correio da Manhã e os Suplementos semanais “Sexta” e “Vidas”, porque este jornal alia a informação ao entretenimento, é líder de mercado e um sucesso de imprensa popular a nível nacional. Os resultados revelaram-nos que as notícias de infotainment, que visam alcançar o interesse do público, preferem a vida social e privada das figuras públicas, abordando inclusive a intimidade, dentro da dimensão privada. Porém, são inerentes à noticiabilidade de questões privadas e íntimas uma série de questões éticas e deontológicas, que nem sempre são respeitadas pelos jornalistas e órgãos de comunicação de cariz sensacionalista. Também percebemos que a audiência é um factor que exerce influência em todo o processo de construção noticiosa (newsmaking), o que não surpreende dado o cariz comercial da publicação e seus Suplementos.
