Non-state public service organizations: in search of new institutionalities for local journalism
The text proposes a typology of non-state public service organizations that offer journalism in Brazil along axes based on journalists’ self-organization (cooperatives, professional associations), community self-organization (institutes, foundations, social associations), or articulations between journalists and community. It also presents a methodology for co-creating alternative institutionalities to private or public companies aimed at quality local journalism, currently being tested in Florianópolis. In advancing this characterization, the article aims to contribute to expanding the repertoire of organizational alternatives and governance models to commercial journalism, addressing impasses reported in recent studies on local journalism (Jerónimo, 2024; Radcliff, 2023), as well as issues related to journalism sustainability and governance (Mick; Tavares, 2017; Ferruci; Alaimo, 2020; Cagé, 2015) and the place of state and non-state public services in a transforming media ecosystem (Camargo, 2020).
Keywords: Local journalism; journalism governance; media ownership; non-state public service.
We propose a discussion on local journalism and its territories based on a partial analysis of data from a survey conducted by the [name of the research group] research group with a representative sample of the population of Florianópolis (SC). The aim is to understand the relationship between the city’s inhabitants and the journalism that is produced in and for the city. We present a preliminary analysis of the motivations for news consumption, people’s interest in different topics in local journalism, and what they believe should receive more attention from the media. Our objective is to understand the role of journalism in this city by mapping common interests among diverse audiences and identifying issues that can generate engagement with both the city and journalism.
