A divulgação científica na imprensa moçambicana: uma análise sobre a cobertura do jornal notícias

Abstract

The article discusses the dissemination of communication science by ‘Jornal Notícias’ [Notícias Newspaper] and analyses its characteristics based on Malavoy's Practical Guide to Science Dissemination (2005) and the professional level of those who work in the area of scientific journalism at this newspaper. The research is anchored in Traquina's Structural Theory (2005) and the Schema Theory, which presents the basic principles for reading comprehension. The study favored Bardin's (2016) categorical analysis technique, which works by breaking down the text into units, into categories according to analogical regroupings, and in this context, categories/characteristics of analysis were formulated taking into account Malavoy (2005). The conclusion is that science communication in ‘Jornal Notícias’ complies with the parameters of journalistic text for science communication, despite its lack of knowledge, and that the lack of specialized journalists does not alter the quality of the scientific content.
