Estudos de produção dos media: enquadramentos noticiosos sobre a tabela salarial única no jornal digital “O PAÍS”

Abstract

This study delves into how the digital newspaper ―O País‖ portrayed Mozambique's Unified Salary Table (TSU) and the organizational pressures that shaped these editorial choices. Through a qualitative lens, the research examined nineteen articles published between June and December 2022. By integrating organizational analysis with interviews from journalists and editors, and drawing on established theories of content framing, the study reached its intended conclusions. The findings show that ―O País‖ often focused on conflict-driven and snapshot reporting, highlighting confrontations while offering a more fragmented and shallow exploration of the topics at hand. The study also reveals a strong dependency on official sources, with limited space for contrasting viewpoints, resulting in a less rounded perspective. These patterns are tied to internal and external influences, such as profit incentives, institutional power structures, the relationship dynamics between reporters and their sources, and the tendency to rely on familiar, routine channels of information.
