A seleção das fontes na narrativa afrocentrada

Abstract

This work consists of applying the content analysis methods developed by Bardin (1997) in the productions of the Yanda Panafrikanu newspaper. The research is developed based on Lage's (2000) categorizations of sources, as well as seeking to expose the characteristics that permeate Brazilian journalistic production, in general. Therefore, it investigates the practices of source selection of the presented periodical, considering the role of the independent press and especially the black press in the counter-hegemonic construction of narratives. The discussions raised also propose a debate on the role of traditional journalism in maintaining stereotypes and discrimination, as well as in the production of knowledge. The analyzes developed approach the qualitative and quantitative method, exploring the meanings of the absences and presences of black subjects in Yanda Panfrikanu, which in turn defines itself as Afrocentric. So, this research proposes a debate on possible journalistic practices attentive to the diversity of sources, especially in relation to black subjects.
