SUR LE JOURNALISME…

Un colloque sur la formation des journalistes aura lieu, les 25 et 26 mai 2007, à La Cité collégiale d’Ottawa, Canada.

Quelques mots sur le programme de cette journée intitulée Nouveau souffle pour la formation des journalistes.

Le vendredi 25 mai, réception en présence d’un conférencier invité, le Directeur exécutif du Committee for Concerned Journalists, monsieur Jeffrey Dvorkin.

Le samedi 26 mai, différents ateliers se tiendront:
1) Marketing et journalisme – Si l’entreprise de presse n’est pas rentable à quoi peut-elle servir? Dans certaines écoles américaines de journalisme on a intégré d’importants éléments de marketing au programme de journalisme.

2) Technologie et formation – Le journalisme change au gré des découvertes technologiques. Les sources ne sont les mêmes. L’Internet est le nouveau dieu de l’information. Au collège communautaire Loyalistes de Belleville, en Ontario, par exemple, on donne une formation d’un an en journalisme sur l’Internet (e-journalism) après l’obtention d’un premier diplôme en journalisme. Est-ce la nouvelle voie?
3) Formation généraliste ou formation spécialisée ? Faut-il former davantage de journalistes spécialisés et, si oui, comment le faire ? Par des études en économie, en sciences, en politique, etc. ou par des études en journalisme ? Les écoles de journalisme (collèges et universités) doivent-elles revoir leurs programmes ?

4) La spécificité du journalisme – Qu’est-ce qui est propre au journalisme dans l’ensemble des métiers de la communication ? Dans l’univers du journalisme citoyen, l’idée d’une mission de service public remplie par des journalistes professionnels est-elle dépassée ? Ou, faut-il toujours lui faire une place dans l’enseignement ?

Invitant: Marc Bastarache.

Le 4 avril de 14h à 18h journée d’étude organisée au Celsa à l’initiative de N. d’Almeida, dans le cadre de la semaine du développement durable. Programme disponible.

Gérard Mauger et Louis Pinto organisent des rencontres Lire les sciences sociales. La prochaine rencontre, autour de textes sur le journalisme, a lieu ce vendredi 16 mars 2007 de 10h à 13h.

Aulas sobre jornalismo social começam na próxima semana na UFRJ e na UnB

As disciplinas visam qualificar os futuros profissionais de mídia na abordagem dos temas relevantes para a agenda social brasileira

Na próxima segunda-feira, dia 12 de março, acontece no curso de jornalismo da Escola de Comunicação da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) a primeira aula da disciplina Jornalismo de Políticas Públicas Sociais. A nova matéria foi criada pela UFRJ em parceria com a ANDI – Agência de Notícias dos Direitos da Infância e será ministrada pelo professor Evandro Vieira Ouriques. A aula inaugural contará com a participação de Guilherme Canela, coordenador de Relações Acadêmicas da ANDI.
Já na Universidade de Brasília (UnB) tem início na quinta-feira, dia 15/3, o terceiro semestre da disciplina Crítica da Mídia, ministrada pelo professor Luiz Gonzaga Motta e que também é fruto de parceria com a ANDI.
A disciplina Jornalismo de Políticas Públicas Sociais irá estimular os alunos de comunicação da UFRJ – e também estudantes de outros cursos interessados – a fazer uma reflexão crítica sobre os diversos aspectos que envolvem a cobertura jornalística de políticas sociais, inclusive na área da infância e adolescência. O objetivo é promover a construção de propostas para modificar as agendas, pautas e briefings das empresas de Comunicação, de maneira que as questões sociais ocupem cada vez maior espaço e tenham maior possibilidade de discussão na mídia.
A matéria irá abordar o tratamento dispensado pelos meios de comunicação a questões como a Diversidade, o Desenvolvimento Socioambiental, a Violência, o Racismo, a Discriminação, os Direitos Humanos e a elaboração do Orçamento Público. A discussão desses tópicos contará com a participação de especialistas renomados em cada um desses temas. A relação entre os profissionais da notícia e suas fontes no contexto da agenda social também será analisada.
Disciplina na UFRJ é a segunda experiência
A matéria Jornalismo de Políticas Públicas Sociais dá continuidade à experiência iniciada pela ANDI e pela UnB em 2006. A disciplina Crítica da Mídia foi o primeiro projeto a inserir uma discussão aprofundada sobre a cobertura de políticas públicas sociais no currículo dos cursos de graduação em jornalismo. A nova matéria oferecida pela Escola de Comunicação da UFRJ replica a metodologia usada na Universidade de Brasília, que vem despertando o interesse de estudantes, professores e especialistas.

The EU’s communication activities and the work of EU correspondents both in Brussels and around Europe were the focus of the EU-funded AIM (Adequate Information Management) project, which is just drawing to a close.

The Brussels press corps is one of the largest in the world, bringing together over 1,000 journalists from over 60 countries. Through interviews with a sample of Brussels-based journalists, the project partners sought to understand how they viewed the EU’s communications efforts and how they arrange their work.

One of the key points to come out of the project is the diversity of journalistic cultures which come together in Brussels. However, there is a certain level of homogenisation of the different cultures, which newcomers have to adapt to. Furthermore, not all journalists are created equal, with some journalists having more clout than others. Speaking at the final AIM conference in Brussels, project participant Paolo Mancini of the University of Perugia explained that journalists from the old Member States tend to dominate those from the newer Member States, although some of the larger new Member States such as Poland were now starting to pull their weight more. This follows another trend identified, namely that large countries tend to dominate small ones. Journalists from bigger countries have more power because sources are more interested in talking to them,’ he said, noting that the biggest publications, which are more European than national in their nature, wield considerable power. ‘For example the Financial Times is able to affect the process of news gathering for other journalists.’ Journalists from smaller countries also often have to cover more issues, making things harder for them. Journalists also experience a certain level of contradiction in their daily lives, noted Professor Mancini. ‘They live abroad and cover international institutions and work with a lot of foreigners, but they respond to a national, i.e. local, audience of people who are in a very local culture,’ he explained.

One of the biggest challenges facing journalists is the vast amount of information coming out of the institutions, and the jargon used. Learning to understand the jargon and how to decide which pieces of information are relevant and important is a hard task for journalists arriving in Brussels.

Based on its findings, the project partners have come up with a range of recommendations as to how the EU could improve its communication activities. These include the idea that the European Commission should take national media agendas into consideration, and provide more communications training to its spokespeople and media experts.

A previous study of the AIM project looked at how media coverage of EU affairs varied in
the 10 countries involved in the project.
