Histórico jornalístico da empresa Maltanet : registros sobre o primeiro portal de notícias do sertão alagoano

Abstract

The present work seeks to rescue the history of Maltanet website, the first news portal of the Alagoas backlands, created in 2001 in Santana do Ipanema. In addition to addressing the pioneering history of Maltanet, this work also focuses on the history of country communication from the beginning of the century until the arrival of the Internet, which, by consolidating itself in the region, led to the creation of the vehicle analyzed. Initially created to publicize the services provided by its founder, Maltanet has consolidated its coverage of events and news spread throughout the Alagoas backlands, bringing local events to the residents of the municipality of Santana or in several other cities in Brazil and around the world. In addition to being an important communication channel, it served as a bridge to great achievements, such as the struggle for the implementation of CEFET/AL (current IFAL) in Santana do Ipanema and the creation of literary projects that bear fruit to the present day. Even with the emergence of new vehicles in the city and the development of the media, Maltanet survives and has become a major source of research and history, linking past and present.
