Resumo
O jornalismo desportivo tem evoluído num sentido de descrédito. Perpetua-se a ideia de que esta secção é o parente pobre das redações. Ainda assim, o jornalismo desportivo deve guiar-se pelas mesmas normas que outras áreas da atividade. A reportagem, embora por motivos diferentes, também tem sofrido desinvestimento. O presente trabalho mistura estes dois eixos, analisando como é que a reportagem desportiva está a sobreviver e como sem ela o jornalismo sai enfraquecido. Olhou-se então para o caso do The Athletic e para um evento específico, o Mundial 2022, no Qatar. Embora numa região do globo com desafios concretos, os repórteres da publicação procuraram que a cobertura realizada fosse inequivocamente diferente daquela que podia ser feita à distância. Enquanto que a entidade organizadora da competição tentava maquilhar verdades inconvenientes – mortes de trabalhadores na construção dos estádios, falta de condições de vida da mão de obra migrante, desrespeito pelos direitos LGBT –, a informação independente tornava-as evidentes para o público.
ABSTRACT: Sports journalism has evolved towards discredit. The idea perpetuated is that this section is the poor relative of newsrooms. Still, sports journalism must be guided by the same standards as other areas of activity. Reporting, although for different reasons, has also suffered disinvestment. This work merges these two axes, analysing how sports reporting is surviving and how without it journalism is weakened. So, to do that, the case of The Athletic and a specific event, the 2022 World Cup, in Qatar, were looked at. Although in a region of the world with concrete challenges, the publication's reporters sought to ensure that the coverage provided was unequivocally different from that which could be provided remotely. While the organization of the competition tried to cover up inconvenient truths – deaths of workers in the construction of stadiums, lack of living conditions for migrant labour, disrespect for LGBT rights –, independent information made them evident to the public.
