Jornalismo de proximidade e as notícias nacionais e internacionais

: o caso RTP Madeira

Abstract

This internship report aims to study the local television journalism, based on the sixmonth internship, held beetween 2nd October 2017 and 31st March 2018, in RTP Madeira. The «Telejornal Madeira» (Regional news) was used as case study.
The purpose of the study is to assess how the «Telejornal Madeira» approaches national and international matters. Are national and/or international news present every day in «Telejornal Madeira»? Which approach is taken? Is there any adaptation of the themes to a regional environment? What is the interest of broadcast international and/or nacional news on local journalism? These are the main questions which are intended to be answered for this case study.
The results show that the information provided by RTP Madeira to the local people is mostly about subjects that means something to the locals, no matters if it is about local matters or national or nternational issues, they are all adressed to topics that go beyond the greographic proximity.
