O presente Projeto de Graduação analisa a atuação dos meios de comunicação social portugueses durante o apagão ibérico de 28 de abril de 2025, procurando compreender de que forma responderam à circulação de desinformação nas primeiras horas da crise. A investigação baseou-se na análise de notícias publicadas por diferentes órgãos de comunicação social e de comunicados emitidos por entidades oficiais, com o objetivo de identificar as estratégias jornalísticas adotadas num contexto marcado pela incerteza e pela rápida evolução dos acontecimentos.
O trabalho conta com uma análise à resposta ao apagão ibérico de alguns dos principais [orgãos] de comunicação social portugueses, nomeadamente a RTP, SIC Notícias e Jornal de Notícias.
Os resultados demonstram que os meios de comunicação privilegiaram, de forma generalizada, o recurso a fontes oficiais, nomeadamente a Rede Elétrica Nacional (REN), o Governo da República Portuguesa, a Autoridade Nacional de Emergência e Proteção Civil (ANEPC) e a Entidade Reguladora dos Serviços Energéticos (ERSE), procurando distinguir entre informação confirmada e hipóteses ainda por validar.
Verificou-se, igualmente, que a desinformação se manifestou através de narrativas relacionadas com alegados ciberataques, fenómenos atmosféricos invulgares e previsões infundadas sobre a duração do apagão, difundidas sobretudo nas redes sociais.
Este estudo evidencia o papel do jornalismo na verificação, contextualização e esclarecimento da informação em situações de crise, contribuindo para limitar a propagação de conteúdos enganosos e reforçar a confiança dos cidadãos em fontes credíveis.
This Graduation Project analyses the performance of the Portuguese news media during the Iberian power outage of 28 April 2025, seeking to understand how they responded to the spread of disinformation during the first hours of the crisis. The research is based on the analysis of news reports published by different Portuguese media outlets, as well as official statements issued by public authorities, with the aim of identifying the journalistic strategies adopted in a context marked by uncertainty and the rapid evolution of events. The study includes an analysis of the coverage of the Iberian power outage by some of Portugal's leading news organisations, namely RTP, SIC Notícias, and Jornal de Notícias. The findings show that the media generally relied on official sources, particularly the National Electricity Grid (REN), the Government of the Portuguese Republic, the National Authority for Emergency and Civil Protection (ANEPC), and the Energy Services Regulatory Authority (ERSE), while seeking to distinguish between confirmed information and unverified hypotheses. The study also found that disinformation emerged through narratives related to alleged cyberattacks, unusual atmospheric phenomena, and unfounded predictions regarding the duration of the power outage, which were spread mainly through social media and other digital platforms. This research highlights the essential role of journalism in verifying, contextualising, and clarifying information during crisis situations, thereby helping to limit the spread of misleading content and strengthen public trust in credible sources.
