As ONG como fontes de informação nos media- um olhar sobre o discurso jornalístico não governamental na RTP, TSF, Público e agência Lusa

Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) usually represents a civil society voice, and media should project their work. Every day there is a relatively regular presence of non-governmental voices in the media. We believe that NGOs contribute to the stimulation of public debate on social issues through the media. This paper presents some of the main results of a research that analysed 462 news. The themes, communication strategies, the main voices present and the tone of information mouthpieces are some of the issues on which we look back and give us clues about the dynamics of these entities as information sources. From the data collected we understand the use of these organizations as information sources in the context of news today. The supremacy of the short news, and little contextualized, approaching these sources of a current news space, more follow the daily news agenda.
