Jornalismo negro: uma análise a partir das experiências de jornalistas alagoanas

Abstract

This report is the result of the production of a multimedia report, which aims to analyze the lives and perspectives of the personal and professional experiences of black journalists in the state of Alagoas. Based on the collection of national and local data, we sought to support the accounts presented by the interviewees, about the experience of journalism professionals in the Alagoas communications market. The report was divided into thematic blocks, presenting national and state-specific figures on the salary, position and gender comparisons of black professionals. In addition to the data, the article featured accounts by the journalists, who described their achievements, challenges and career expectations. The theoretical framework was based on the considerations of Moura and Reis (2019), Fernandes, et al (2016), and Pontal (2016) about the media structuring of the construction of the identity of the black population; The struggle for equal recognition between blacks and whites, the lack of more black female journalists in visible spaces on TV stations and other media spaces, raising discussions about the stereotypical standards that have permeated the media since its inception. To build the product, the methodology used involved collecting data made available in databases provided by IBGE and the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE), upon request for more specific state data via the Access to Information Law; and from interviews with characters capable of representing these local realities. As a result, we produced a multimedia report and hosted it on an online platform. From this perspective, we hope that the product can present a picture of the reality of female journalists from Alagoas through relevant statistics and the views of each one, capable of highlighting the quality of the work of these women within the field of activity at the state level.
