We analyzed 95,970 stories on COVID-19 published in 2020 by newspapers in US, UK, China and Brazil — countries marked by controversial management of the crisis. Through a text mining approach, we identified main topics, subjects, actors and the level of attention. The coverage was politicized in “The New York Times” and “Folha de S. Paulo”; focused on health aspects in “The Guardian”; and emphasized the economic situation in “China Daily”. In this sense, the pandemic has motivated a deeper approach to the multiple dimensions of science and health, pointing to a broader perspective of science communication.
Neste artigo, realizamos um estudo de caso do Jornal UFG — veículo de comunicação da Universidade Federal de Goiás –, por meio da análise de seis edições publicadas entre 2006 e 2022. O objetivo foi compreender o jornal enquanto instrumento de comunicação organizacional, tendo em vista as especificidades de seu lócus de produção e a necessidade de articular demandas institucionais aos princípios da comunicação pública e da divulgação científica. Verificou-se que, embora o Jornal UFG sempre tenha se colocado como um veículo de divulgação científica, sua trajetória foi marcada pela busca de um equilíbrio entre o conteúdo institucional e o científico.
The article presents the results of a survey of science journalists from six world regions about their work during the COVID-19 pandemic. The responses show perception of increasing workload for most participants. Local scientists and peer-reviewed articles are the main sources. According to the respondents, scientists have become more available during the pandemic. The use of preprint articles was a frequent practice, but a considerable proportion declared they did not adopt different procedures when reporting them. Most also said they take fake news into account when writing their stories.
