Abstract(s)
A imagem tem neste momento um papel fundamental porque vivemos na época dos
smartphones, tablets e computadores; da informação instantânea e repleta de imagens e
conteúdos multimédia. Todos os jornais vivem da imagem. Grande parte das capas dos
jornais são ocupadas por imagens e na internet, os sites noticiosos têm notícias sempre
acompanhadas de imagens ou conteúdos multimédia, como vídeos por exemplo. Por
norma, as reportagens de guerra/terrorismo são importantes exemplos da força e impacto
que a imagem tem nos espectadores. Os primeiros relatos de guerra começaram a chegar
muito cedo, primeiro através da Bíblia e depois, mais tarde, através de pinturas que
descreviam os principais cenários de guerra na época. O jornalismo foi evoluindo, os
primeiros jornais impressos nasceram e em 1821 surge a primeira figura do
“correspondente de guerra”. William Howard Russel é um jornalista Irlandês que em 1854
foi como primeiro enviado especial para a Guerra da Crimeia. Vivemos, atualmente, numa
época rodeada de informação vinda de jornais, televisão e rádio, mas não só. As redes
sociais como Facebook e Instagram tornaram-se igualmente fontes de informação. Cada
vez mais o jornalista precisa de saber selecionar e perceber a veracidade da informação
que está a ver. Os jornalistas são profissionais responsáveis pela procura de informações e
notícias e por divulgá-las junto do público em geral. É uma profissão que se rege sobretudo
pelo código deontológico, por características como a verdade e a credibilidade. Hoje em
dia a formação dos profissionais é feita através de cursos especializados na profissão, mas
na verdade os primeiros cursos superiores de comunicação apenas surgiram em Portugal
em 1979. As notícias divulgadas pelos jornalistas devem ser de utilidade pública, uma
novidade para o seu público, e serem rigorosas, de forma a relatar apenas factos de maior
interesse. Processo este último feito através dos gatekeepers, que selecionam a
informação mais relevante e importante a ser transmitido, é o profissional que faz a préseleção
das informações. E aqui acrescenta-se o papel da imagem, hoje o jornalista para
além de recolher a informação necessária tem que se preocupar ainda em encontrar a
verdade numa imagem que capte a atenção do seu espectador e demonstre toda a
realidade dos locais.
