Com uma abordagem interdisciplinar, quanti-qualitativa, inserida no campo das Ciências da Comunicação, este trabalho promove um estudo sobre a atenção dada ao processo de envelhecimento humano por dois jornais em suas versões online: um no Brasil, o A Cidade On Ribeirão Preto, e outro em Portugal, o Jornal de Notícias, no Porto. A partir do conteúdo noticioso publicado por esses veículos no período de três meses (1º de setembro a 30 de novembro de 2024) e de duas entrevistas reflexivas, realizadas com um profissional de cada jornal, busca-se avaliar como a temática do envelhecimento é abordada diante das demandas emergentes apresentadas pelos dois países diante do crescimento dos percentuais de pessoas idosas, 60+ no Brasil e 65+ em Portugal, o que obriga mudanças na estrutura social para garantir, a esses grupos, um curso de vida saudável e ativo, conforme diretrizes internacionais, nacionais e locais. As notícias e reportagens coletadas acompanham essas tendências? Discutem e aprofundam questões pertinentes à qualidade de vida na velhice ou predominam visões estereotipadas, de que as pessoas idosas são empecilhos socioeconômicos caso não se caracterizem como superidosos – aqueles extremamente ativos, praticante de esportes, com excelente memória, entre outros atributos? As velhices marginalizadas socialmente, que encontram menos espaços de expressão no cotidiano, são escanteadas também nos jornais? Um levantamento teórico sobre envelhecimento populacional, Jornalismo e envelhecimento, e importância do Jornalismo de proximidade como agente social conduz este estudo para uma análise discursiva dos dados. Espera-se, dessa forma, contribuir para subsidiar respostas que instiguem o debate sobre equidade nas condições de envelhecimento na contemponeidade e sobre a atuação da imprensa neste contexto.
Using an interdisciplinary, quantitative-qualitative approach within the field of Communication Sciences, this study examines the attention given to the human aging process by two online newspapers: one in Brazil, A Cidade On Ribeirão Preto, and the other in Portugal, Jornal de Notícias, in Porto. Based on the news content published by these outlets over a three-month period (September 1 to November 30, 2024) and two reflective interviews with a professional from each newspaper, the study seeks to assess how the topic of aging is addressed in light of the emerging demands presented by both countries due to the growing percentage of older adults—60+ in Brazil and 65+ in Portugal—which requires changes in social structures to ensure these groups a healthy and active life course, in accordance with international, national, and local guidelines. Do the news and reports collected reflect these trends? Do they discuss and delve into issues relevant to quality of life in old age, or are stereotypical views predominant, according to which elderly individuals are socioeconomic obstacles if they do not qualify as super-elderly individuals—those who are extremely active, play sports, have excellent memories, among other attributes? Are socially marginalized elderly individuals, who find fewer opportunities for expression in daily life, also sidelined in newspapers? A theoretical survey on population aging, journalism and aging, and the importance of proximity journalism as a social agent guides this study toward a discursive analysis of the data. The hope is to contribute to supporting responses that instigate the debate on equity in contemporary aging and the role of the press in this context.
