A presente dissertação pretende abordar a conduta profissional dos jornalistas na cobertura de
acontecimentos que envolvem a morte de figuras públicas, tendo como objeto de estudo o caso
específico da morte de Sara Carreira, filha do popular cantor português Tony Carreira, que faleceu,
vítima de um acidente de viação, no dia 5 de dezembro de 2020. Partindo da análise da cobertura
efetuada pelos meios de comunicação social portugueses no período imediatamente após o
acontecimento, os resultados indicam que o reparo ético-deontológico mais frequente diz respeito
ao tratamento sensacionalista da informação, nomeadamente, o exagero ou deturpação de um dado
conteúdo noticioso de forma a atrair audiências. No que diz respeito ao comportamento dos órgãos
de comunicação analisados, foram os jornais tabloides e as estações privadas quem menos
observaram as normas de conduta profissional.
De forma geral, a nossa exposição permitiu-nos perceber que continua a existir uma tendência
jornalística para que não se respeite a privacidade das pessoas em situações de luto,
comportamento que se intensifica, sobretudo, quando falamos de figuras mais mediáticas. Não
obstante, o consumo deste tipo de conteúdo por parte do público não tem diminuído (antes pelo
contrário), já que este continua a demonstrar uma enorme curiosidade pelo efeito que tal
acontecimento disruptivo tem no imaginário popular.
ABSTRACT: The present dissertation aims to address the professional conduct of journalists in the coverage of events involving the death of public figures, having as a specific case study the passing of Sara Carreira, daughter of the popular Portuguese singer Tony Carreira, who was victimized by a car accident on December 5th 2020. Based on the analysis of the coverage of the Portuguese media in the period immediately after the event, the results indicate that the most frequent ethical- deontological concern is regarding the sensationalist treatment of information, namely the exaggeration or misrepresentation of a given news content in order to attract audiences. Regarding the behavior of the analyzed media organizations, tabloid newspapers and private stations were the ones that least abided by the rules of professional conduct. In a broader sense, our research allowed us to realize that there is still a journalistic tendency of not respecting the privacy of people in situations of mourning, a behavior that intensifies especially when we are dealing with more mediatized figures. Nevertheless, the consumption of this kind of content by the public has not decreased (on the contrary), since it continues to show an enormous curiosity for the impact that such a disruptive event has in the popular imaginary.
