Resumo: In modern democratic societies, the value of news media content diversity in safeguarding social harmony cannot be underestimated. By providing citizens with a broad range of political, economic and social viewpoints, news media outlets ensure that everyone can participate meaningfully in the democratic process. This task is particularly important in elections, as this is when the public must decide who will be in government. By means of a content analysis of Expresso’s coverage of the 2022 Portuguese legislative elections, this report, which was the culmination of a 6-month internship in Expresso, determined which format, online or print, can better deliver diverse news content. At the article level, the average Expresso print article mentioned more political parties, actors and topics. At the newspaper level, however, both formats displayed strikingly similar levels of content diversity. The results of a multilevel analysis indicate that the size of the article is positively related to content diversity, while game and conflict news frames, often derided as conducive to polarizing and frivolous reporting, can also play a vital role in improving the multiperspectival nature of election coverage.

Ao fornecerem aos cidadãos um vasto leque de pontos de vista políticos, económicos e sociais, os meios de comunicação social garantem que todos podem participar de forma significativa no processo democrático. Esta tarefa é particularmente importante durante períodos eleitorais, uma vez que é nesta altura que o público deve decidir quem o vai representar. Através de uma análise de conteúdo da cobertura do jornal Expresso das eleições legislativas portuguesas de 2022, este relatório, que foi o culminar de um estágio de 6 meses no Expresso, determinou qual o formato, online ou papel, que melhor consegue fornecer conteúdos noticiosos diversificados. Ao nível do artigo, o artigo médio da versão impressa do Expresso mencionou mais partidos políticos, actores e tópicos. No entanto, ao nível do jornal, ambos os formatos apresentaram níveis muito semelhantes de diversidade de conteúdo. Os resultados de uma análise multinível indicam que a dimensão do artigo está positivamente relacionada com a diversidade de conteúdo, enquanto que os enquadramentos noticiosos que enfatizam o conflito, muitas vezes referidos como conducentes a reportagens polarizadoras e frívolas, podem também desempenhar um papel vital na melhoria da natureza multiperspectiva da cobertura eleitoral.Figueiras, Rita Maria Brás PedroVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaNeves, José Miguel Lopes Quaresma Gonçalves2024-02-14T08:20:57Z2024-01-162023-092024-01-16T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/43931TID:203476530enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-20T01:32:39Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/43931Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T02:38:59.843889Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
