Constructive Journalism, Rio de Janeiro, NewsworthinessAbstract
This article is the result of a larger research that aims to investigate how the local news in Rio de Janeiro uses the negative as major newsworthiness. Based on the social role of journalism, the “Constructive Journalism” assumes a new way to report the news, understanding that it’s not only about sharing the problem but also providing to the audience inspiring stories that focuses on available solutions. From this concept, the main hypothesis of this work, therefore, is that the environment pointed out by the media can cause pessimism and an apathy sensation, setting up an apocalyptic scenario. Adopting the metaphor of the four knights of the biblical apocalypse - Plague, War, Hungry and Death - as an instrument of analysis, it is possible to assume that headlines ascribe an environment of chaos in the city.
