Numbers and journalism during the Covid-19 Pandemic
| Resumo: | ABSTRACT: This project aims to understand how the pandemic was covered by the media, namely how numerical information served as the basis for the news and its contextualization. We analysed the news related to the pandemic of three printed newspapers: Público, Diário de Notícias and Expresso. There were some differences among newspapers and the vast majority of news has a neutral tone. Although the number has an unquestionable media power, numerical information has rarely been used on the newspaper covers or headlines. Moreover, when it is used, it is usually associated with news that conveys negative or positive feelings. |
