Resumo: |
Among the journalistic genres, especially the ones practiced in the Brazilian press, there is one which José Marques de Melo names “diversional journalism”. Differentiated by its fun-making purpose and also by its revealing coverage of interesting stories, the structure of its format assimilates elements both from literature and anthropology. But what motivates reporters to develop such genres, and in what circumstances? What methods are used for such work? What forces act there? This study aimed to understand how this process takes place, by observing and comparing the ways of doing adopted by nine Brazilian journalists, who were chosen because they submit themselves to two interrelated criteria: 1) being well recognized in the journalistic setting and/or by the publishing market as professionals who stand out for their expertise in such genre; and 2) having produced texts – presenting the mentioned characteristics – for newspapers and/or magazines that were subsequently compiled into a book. The methodology employed is narrowly related to the theoretical “newsmaking” perspective, using the appropriate technique for an observation that considers different moments of history (from the 1950s up to today): the interview in its semi structured format. The group of journalists interviewed is formed by Audálio Dantas, Carlos Wagner, Consuelo Dieguez, Daniela Pinheiro, Eliane Brum, João Moreira Salles, José Hamilton Ribeiro, Ricardo Kotscho and Zuenir Ventura. As a result, we defend that the genre presented here as the subject of research is cultivated by a select group of professionals, capable of casting sensitive eyes over reality, extracting details and plots from it that will impact on the readers’ feelings, amusing them while offering esthetic gratification, in contrast to some assumed alienation. Such production is dependent on creativity, curiosity, and on talent to write pleasant texts, as well as on highly subjective checking and writing methods, which turn out to be quite a settled matter in the way those professionals act. Such capacity is what enables them to gain space, amid disputes with editors and editorial directors, in order to prepare texts which will highlight their authorship. At last, the function of amusing, assigned to the genre, is confirmed by the professionals, though implicitly |
