News source selection and outsourcing: dependence and passivity at CBN Ponta Grossa
Abstract
The article analyzes journalistic practices in the News sources selection in a context of outsourcing of professionals in broadcasters who are affiliated with radio networks in Brazil. We carried out a systematic observation aiming to verify how the situation experienced by professionals impacts the selection of sources in the construction of news. It was possible to notice, in the case of CBN Ponta Grossa, affiliated to the main Brazilian All News network, a dependence on sectors outside the newsrooms and the passivity in the use of materials from professional sources. In this case, the work format alters the dynamics of the newsroom and the journalistic production of the station.
