Jornalismo feminista : uma análise dos processos de comunicação em rede do Portal Catarinas

Abstract

This work seeks to understand and analyze from technical, social and narrative criteria such as the portal Catarinas uses the dynamics of social networking sites to produce journalism in order to reflect on the gender imbrications and journalism of the portal. Catarinas is a feminist portal with a gender perspective that produces independent journalism, created in 2016, located in the state of Santa Catarina. Based on feminist and gender studies, I approach the constitution of feminist journalism since the nineteenth century to try to correlate with feminist journalism produced today. I study cyberactivism, feminist cyber-feminism and network processes to understand the communication practices undertaken by Catarinas. Through the transmetodological perspective, I used quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze Catarinas' production during the months of March and April 2018 on Facebook and the site. I found through the research that the journalism produced by the portal subverts masculinist practices of journalism, positioning itself from the gender perspective, giving space to a multiplicity of sources of civil society, building itself collaboratively and horizontally, taking into consideration subjectivity by triggering feminist objectivity, producing information, knowledge, and activism. In this sense, Portal Catarinas journalism is feminine and feminist, aware of its space in the world and that makes communication a strategic action with the goal of transforming society.
