The article aims to investigate the disputes involving agents from the journalistic and the political fields regarding the dispute over the control of public visibility. We consider as a case study the coverage provided by the O Povo newspaper about the Facebook page of Cid Gomes, the former governor of Ceará (2007-2014). By using Content Analysis, the empirical section investigates 67 journalistic texts covering Gomes' posts in order to verify (i) the degree of relevance and (ii) the type of content published on the fanpage that achieved the newspaper's attention. The results show that O Povo ignored most of the publications in which Gomes seeks to build a positive image of himself. At the same time, the publication tries to maintain its agenda-building power by associating the fanpage to informality and controversy.

Com o intuito de investigar em que medida agentes do campo jornalístico e do campo político disputam o controle da esfera de visibilidade pública, o artigo examina a cobertura do jornal O Povo sobre a fanpage do ex-governador do Ceará (2007-2014), Cid Gomes. Por meio de Análise de Conteúdo, a seção empírica investiga 67 textos jornalísticos que trataram das postagens do então mandatário, verificando-se (i) o grau de relevância dos posts na construção das pautas e (ii) o tipo de conteúdo da fanpage que o periódico costuma repercutir. Conclui-se que O Povo ignorou a maioria das publicações nas quais Cid procurou construir uma imagem positiva de si. Além disso, a publicação relaciona a fanpage à informalidade e à polêmica, buscando manter o poder de agendamento do Jornalismo.

Article in Portuguese. Abstract in English: This article examines the Facebook pages of candidates for Curitiba’s City Hall in the first round of the 2016 election in order to evaluate the main forms of using this social media and the levels of audience engagement in such spaces. To do so, all the 2,701 posts candidates published between August 16 and September 30 were comparatively analyzed by considering the following quantitative variables: volume of publications; temporal distribution of posts; and type and volume of engagement observed in each of them. Among the conclusions, it was found that: 1) the strategies tuned to the Facebook’s relevance criteria coincide only partially with those of greater public engagement; 2) not all candidates prioritize the type of content most favored by the platform’s algorithm; and 3) the performance of Facebook publications in terms of engagement does not reflect the performance of candidates at the polls – what reinforces the need to avoid technological determinism.

The article analyzes the image that O Estado de S. Paulo (one of the main Brazilian newspapers) constructed of the presidential candidate Lula da Silva over the course of five electoral campaigns: 1989, 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2006. Our hypothesis is that OESP editorials have an adversarial positioning towards Lula da Silva in all presidential races, despite slight variations brought on by the newspaper's perception of his chances of victory. The study uses a quanti-qualitative methodology supported by Iramuteq (lexicometric analysis) to examine 181 OESP editorials. We found out that OESP features Lula in different ways, adapting its position-taking over time: the characterization of the candidate ranges from “the leftist” (1989 elections) to “the president in permanent campaign” (2006 elections). Notwithstanding, OESP editorials are repeatedly willing to consider him as unsuitable for office. The longitudinal study highlights OESP's political positioning and allows us to discuss journalism and political interests in the Brazilian case.

Despite the large array of research dedicated to examining the concepts of news values and newsworthiness, journalism studies barely attempt to deal with the idea of editorial-worthiness at the theoretical level. This article proposes a conceptual foundation to reflect on the elements influencing how news organizations build their editorial positions. Studying the idea of editorial-worthiness is essential to catalog the characteristics guiding newspapers’ editorial decisions and production processes, as well as to understand the differences between professional rules and cultures shaping opinionated practices in contemporary journalism. By employing an approach based on a review of the literature, the article proposes a conceptualization of criteria of editorial-worthiness consisting of (1) editorial factors and (2) editorial values, further divided into 25 items. The proposal allows journalism research to acknowledge how the gatekeeping function plays out on editorial pages by categorizing the elements influencing editorial production routines.

This article analyzes the participatory design of the Portal e‐Democracia, sponsored by the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies. More specifically, it examines how citizens took part in the online discussions about the Brazilian laws on the Budget Guidelines, the 2013 Annual Budgeting, and the Political Reform debates of 2013 and 2015. We hypothesize that discussion forums with identical structures can nevertheless host debates with very diverse characteristics. The methodological approach considers a quantitative content analysis, using descriptive statistics and correspondence analysis to examine how the forums’ features were related to their structure, in terms of user identification, openness and freedom of speech, agenda, and moderation. We also examine the quality of public debate in these arenas by considering the interactions with regard behaviors of justification, reciprocity, and respect. We find that, even though the space for debating was structurally the same, every forum had some particular characteristics concerning the discussions. This leads us to consider the issue at stake and the sociopolitical context as variables that are more important for characterizing the debate than structure per se.

Abstract: The article investigates if, and to what extent, editorials pieces of O Estado de S. Paulo (OESP), one of the main Brazilian newspapers, express an adversarial position towards the Brazilian Congress. Our hypothesis is: the editorial text is a space in which the newspaper expresses its role as an adversary to the political field. By applying a Frame Analyses, we identified the main frames in 124 texts published by OESP between 2011 and 2013. We found that “Conflicts between government and its allies and between government and Congress” and “Measures to improve Brazilian economy” were the most recurrent frames. Half of the editorials in our sample presented an adversary position against the House of Representatives or Senate. However, there are distinct degrees of adversarial behavior. Therefore, our hypothesis was partially confirmed. Finally, we argue that such adversarial approach is part of OESP’s strategy to legitimate itself as a political representative of its readers.
O artigo investiga em que medida os editoriais do jornal O Estado de S. Paulo adotam uma postura adversária ao enquadrar o Congresso brasileiro. Eis a hipótese da pesquisa: O editorial é um espaço no qual a empresa jornalística expressa seu papel de adversária dos agentes políticos. A Análise de Enquadramentos aplicada a 124 editoriais publicados por OESP entre 2011 e 2013 revelou que os frames mais recorrentes foram “Relações conflituosas entre governo e base e entre governo e Congresso” e “Providências necessárias para a economia brasileira e medidas que devem ser tomadas”. Metade dos editoriais analisados expressa postura adversária ao campo político, verificando-se, contudo, graus distintos de adversarialidade, o que permite comprovar a hipótese apenas parcialmente. Tal abordagem faz parte da estratégia de OESP para legitimar-se junto à audiência: ao alimentar a desconfiança depositada nos representantes políticos, o periódico reivindica a função de defensor do interesse público.

Notwithstanding journalistic editorials may evidence conflicts and negotiations involving public and private interests, their production process is little investigated in Brazil. The article examines the values and routines typical to the work of Folha de S. Paulo's editorialists to find out how they construct newspaper's positions. By applying Content Analysis to three in-depth interviews, we propose four thematic axes regarding the features of journalistic editorials: Political and marketing roles; their target audience; production routines; and editorial values of the newspaper. The results indicate that editorialists exercise limited autonomy, striving to fit the positions historically defended by the publication. Such a condition is seen as natural by the interviewees, with no record of tensions between their individual opinions and newspaper's positions.

Embora o editorial possa tornar evidentes conflitos e negociações envolvendo interesses públicos e privados na atividade jornalística, seu processo de produção é pouco investigado no Brasil. O objetivo do artigo é examinar, a partir do estudo de valores e rotinas inerentes à atuação dos editorialistas, os modos pelos quais os posicionamentos da Folha de S. Paulo (FSP) são construídos. A Análise de Conteúdo de três entrevistas em profundidade realizadas com profissionais da FSP permitiu sistematizar quatro eixos temáticos acerca dos editoriais: função política; público-alvo; rotinas produtivas; e valores da empresa. Os resultados indicam que os editorialistas exercem autonomia limitada, esforçando-se para se enquadrar no histórico de posições da empresa. Tal condição é vista com naturalidade pelos entrevistados, sem registro de tensões entre opiniões individuais e posicionamentos institucionais.

Text in Portuguese. Abstract in English: This article examines how Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo expressed their political position on the impeachment of the former president Dilma Rousseff in editorials. The comparative study encompasses quantitative and qualitative approaches of 507 texts (FSP=156; OESP=351) that mentioned “impeachment” or “impedimento”, published between 2015 and 2016. The hypotheses are: 1) Both newspapers build the legitimacy of Rousseff’s removal according to the institutional calendar; 2) Both newspapers present similar points of view regarding the process; 3) Both newspapers anchor the legitimacy of Rousseff’s impeachment on legal pleas. By using a Content Analysis, we argue that: FSP and OESP mention the impeachment process even before its institutional beginning; both of them are concerned about constructing the impeachment’s legitimacy but use diverse arguments to justify it; OESP supports the process as the best exit for the crisis; FSP prefers the president and her vice-president to resign, an action that should be followed by new elections.

This paper examines a relevant part of the Brazilian scientific production in Political Communication in order to assess the epistemological and methodological advances and flaws that have featured this area of expertise. The argument is divided into four parts. In the first one, we discuss different theoretical questions, ranging from the imprecision in the definition of objects and categories of research to a persistent conceptual outdatedness. Next, the text focuses on some of the most common methodological options found in empirical studies present in the field, diagnosing the predominance of a descriptive emphasis. The third section reflects on the consequences of the burdens previously pointed out: for example, research findings that tend to overestimate media effects. We conclude our argument by addressing some suggestions that may help to solve part of the problems here outlined.

Este trabalho examina o perfil de parte relevante da produção científica da área de Comunicação e Política no Brasil a fim de elaborar um balanço acerca dos avanços e dos entraves epistemológicos e metodológicos comuns às abordagens investigativas mais recorrentes no país. O argumento está dividido em quatro partes. Na primeira delas, discutem-se problemas de fundo teórico, apontando-se desde a imprecisão na definição dos objetos até certa desatualização conceitual. Em seguida, a proposta se debruça sobre as falhas que caracterizam algumas das opções metodológicas mais empregadas em pesquisas da área. A terceira seção avalia as consequências dos estorvos anteriormente verificados, mencionando-se, por exemplo, a tendência a elaborar generalizações equivocadas sobre os efeitos políticos da mídia. O texto é encerrado com um tópico disposto a endereçar sugestões que podem colaborar na resolução de parte dos problemas aqui tratados.

Text in Portuguese. Abstract in English:
Introduction: The article aims to investigate the convergencies and divergencies between politicians and media consultants who worked for the PT (Workers’ Party) campaign in the 2012 elections. Our main hipothesis is: Notwithstanding the increasing professionalism of electoral campaigns and the refined expertise of communication professionals, the divergences between political consultants and politicians show the subordination of the first ones, since politicians maintain the role of stablishing campaign guidelines.
Methods: Our methodology comprehends literature review and semi-structured interviews with four of the most important agents involved in the campaign for Fortaleza’s City Mayor. The interviews were structured in order to cover the following issues: 1) the professionalization of political campaigns; 2) the candidate’s image-building; 3) the participation of the former Brazilian president Lula in the local campaign; and 4) the image of the Workers’ Party in the 2012 elections.
Results: We concluded that there in the election analyzed there was a partial convergence of ideas between the politicians and media consultants regarding the campaign strategies. The political context and the professional trajectory of the communication consultants interviewed have straight influence in the elaboration of the strategies adopted over the campaign.
Discussion: Moreover, the article contributes to the literature once in Brazil it is rare to find works which focus on understanding the campaign’s “backstage”, highlighting the internal conflicts between the political and communication core of the campaign. In addition, the methodological debate about the use of interviews as a more appropriate technique for obtaining information points to the need to improve the use of qualitative methods in Political Science.

Text in Portuguese. Abstract in English: After recognizing different approaches to the term "public opinion" throughout the twentieth century, the article examines how the editorials of the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo (OESP) mobilize the concept at stake. Based on the premise that editorials highlight the role of newspapers as political agents, it is essential to investigate whether, and how, "public opinion" is evoked, for example, to legitimate positions of private agents. We examine quantitatively (verifying the frequency with which the term is used) and qualitatively (Content Analysis dedicated to verify the senses triggered by the pieces when they refer to the term) 95 editorial texts published in OESP that, between January of 2015 and December of 2016, mentioned "public opinion". We propose the following hypotheses: H1) The main issue in the editorials in our sample is politics, once editorials tend to address the political elites. H2) The most recurrent meaning of public opinion in editorials is the use of the term as an active agent presumibly able to represent the collective will. The findings point out that the newspaper tends to mobilize the idea of public opinion more often to deal with political issues, often making it an active and autonomous agent.

Text in Portuguese. Abstract in English: This research aims to analyze the discourse of the O Estado de S. Paulo’s editorials in order to examine how they frame Mercosur. Our sample took into account 16 editorials published between January and June of the year 2013. The article presents the following hypothesis: Once its editorial principles defend the idea of free market, OESP cultivates a negative image of Mercosur. By using Discourse Analysis, we identified five discursive formations regarding the performance of diplomatic agents and the advantages and disadvantages that political and economic integration have brought to Brazil according to the newspaper’s view: (1) the Mercosur’s burdens; (2) an alleged passivity of the Brazilian government before its neighbors; (3) the Argentina’s protectionism; (4) the anti-democratic Venezuela; 5) the suspension of Paraguay as a “coup”. We conclude that the newspaper’s opinion tends to disqualify the Mercosur, framing it as a failed economic strategy. Through the editorials, O Estado de S. Paulo tries to build a unique kind of relationship with its readers by supporting an ideology of economic freedom.

Esse artigo busca avaliar trocas discursivas realizadas no fórum online do orçamento participativo digital (OPD) de Belo Horizonte, Brasil. Para tanto, é formulado um modelo de análise das discussões entre os cidadãos participantes do programa baseado nas teorias de democracia deliberativa. São analisadas as mensagens dos usuários (n=375) postadas na ferramenta de comentários do site do OPD. Os resultados apontam que os aspectos discursivos concernentes à reciprocidade e à reflexividade se mostraram relativamente escassos; entretanto, o respeito pelos outros interlocutores, bem como a construção da justificativa dos pontos de vista expressos no fórum, alcançaram índices elevados, mesmo não havendo empowerment da ferramenta ou incentivo por parte da Prefeitura. Conclui-se que a internet pode, efetivamente, oferecer ambientes voltados para o estabelecimento de trocas discursivas qualificadas e que, mesmo nos casos onde há baixos índices de deliberatividade, há progressos importantes do ponto de vista do aprendizado a que são expostos os usuários.

Este trabalho analisa as características discursivas de um dos debates televisivos travados entre Leonardo Quintão (PMDB) e Márcio Lacerda (PSB) ao longo da disputa eleitoral pela Prefeitura de Belo Horizonte, em 2008. O exame verifica se, e como, as práticas discursivas observadas na referida contenda atendem aos cinco requisitos apontados por Maia (2007) para a caracterização de um debate mediático de cunho deliberativo. Os requisitos são os seguintes: acessibilidade; caracterização dos atores sociais; utilização de argumentos crítico-racionais; reciprocidade e responsividade; e, por fim, a reflexividade ou a reversibilidade de opiniões. A aplicação de tais categorias permitiu observar, por exemplo, que o debate eleitoral televisivo manifesta, por sua natureza, um conjunto de limites ao desenvolvimento de razões argumentativas (sobretudo por se tratar de uma situação necessariamente conflituosa, em busca do voto). Foram encontrados, ainda, elementos a indicarem como se dá a reverberação das discussões mediáticas sobre outros âmbitos comunicativos (sejam eles formais ou informais), tornando consistente a idéia de um sistema deliberativo ampliado.

Partindo do pressuposto de que os portais possuem perfis distintos (priorizando, assim, recursos diferentes) é interessante perceber que, apesar de participação e educação legislativa caminharem juntas, 1) o Portal da Câmara é aquele que apresenta o maior índice de informação do tipo “educação legislativa”, em vez do Portal e-Democracia, no qual esse tipo
de informação é inexistente; e 2) não há uma complementaridade intencional entre as duas iniciativas, que, embora pertençam à mesma Casa Legislativa, atuam de forma quase totalmente independente – não obstante os portais oferecerem ferramentas de caráter diferenciado.

Abstract in English: The article investigates how the Brazilian House of Representatives' News Agency covers the issue "Political Reform" in order to examine to what extent there is a diversity of voices within that vehicle parliamentary communication. After a brief literature review, the paper empirically examines, by using Discourse Analysis, 17 news published by the News Agency between July and October 2013. Two hypotheses guide our research: H1) Generally speaking, a discourse aimed at building a positiva image of the House and its agents predominates in the regular coverage; H2) There is a narrow plurality of voices and political perspectives in the news, despite the editorial principles of the House of Representatives' News Agency defend the opposite. We found an official speech tone in much of the news in the sample, with rare or moderate criticism towards political agents. Moreover, there has been a low variety of sources in the material at stake.

Text in Portuguese. Abstract in English: The article examines if and how the collaborative edition of Wikipedia entries can foster public debates. We assessed the argumentative disputes which took place between January and December 2012 on three entries: Celso Russomanno, Fernando Haddad, and José Serra (the main candidates who ran to be the new São Paulo city mayor in that year). Our results point out that the electoral context influences the deliberative nature of the discussions held among Wikipedia editors, since the purpose of informing the users based on the principle of neutrality competes with the intention of ideologically convince their counterparts.

Studies on the effects of the internet on elections have revealed how Social Network Sites (SNSs) are used by citizens to learn about, choose and contact their representatives. This article analyzes 27 Twitter accounts managed by Fortaleza's city councilors who ran for reelection in October 2012. The study aimed to discover the importance ofTwitter in the councilors'campaign strategies: what kind of messages were sent by the councilors who adopted digital communication strategies to their followers, and the relationship between party affiliation and e-campaigns. The article shows that communitarian sociability, understood as face-to-face relations or interactions among individuals, affects how the internet is used in local campaigns, since there is no direct relationship between electoral success and the heavy use of Twitter by candidates, at least in proportional local elections (which are defined as cases in which candidates do not necessarily need to reach the votes of a majority of constituents, but only a part of them). However, those who adopt a digital communication strategy use it to broadcast their political platforms and promote their campaign events. Finally, except for small left-wing parties,there appears to be no relationship between party affiliation and e-campaigns.

As pesquisas realizadas na área de Comunicação e Democracia têm enfatizado a importância da Internet para o jogo político-eleitoral. Porém, poucas investigações têm se dedicado a estudar a influência da Internet em campanhas que priorizam apenas uma faixa específica do eleitorado, como aquelas empreendidas por candidatos a vereador. Tendo tal escassez em vista, o objetivo do artigo é compreender – destacando a dimensão quantitativa do fenômeno – de que maneira os parlamentares de Fortaleza utilizaram o Twitter no período compreendido entre Julho e Novembro de 2012. O corpus é composto pelas contas no microblog dos 25 vereadores da capital cearense que tentaram reeleição. Constatou-se uma correlação direta entre a quantidade de tweets publicados e a quantidade de seguidores que determinados usuários atraem. Todavia, aponta-se que boa parte dos agentes do campo político aqui analisados continua desinteressada em empregar o Twitter como parte de sua estratégia de comunicação política.

Por meio da análise do conteúdo de 38 matérias publicadas no Portal Folha.com, o artigo examina o processo de mudança na imagem pública do ex-senador Demóstenes Torres, iniciado após vir a público, em 2012, um conjunto de acusações de corrupção contra o então parlamentar. Levando em conta o enquadramento dos textos, a investigação apontou que a imagem positiva antes cultivada pelo político acabou se tornando elemento fundamental no processo de cassação aberto contra ele, o que destaca, dentre outras questões, a fluidez da imagem pública e o papel do Jornalismo na construção de impressões que a esfera civil tem de personalidades de diversos campos.
Abstract: By studying 38 pieces published on Folha.com website, this article examines the process of transformation of Demóstenes Torres' public image carried out by part of the Brazilian press. Such a process began after accusations of corruption that emerged in 2012. The investigation pointed out that his previous public image (as a representative who defended citizens against condemnable political behaviors) turned into a completely different one. One believes that such a conclusion reinforces the idea that public images are fluid and the role of journalism as one of the main image's builders.

Text in Portuguese; Abstract in English: This article examines what characterizes
the communication between the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies and the citizens,
from the observation of Portal da Câmara and Portal e-Democracia. The analysis
considers the variety and depth of the mechanisms related to three issues
described in the literature as critical to institutional initiatives: Information,
Transparency and Participation. The methodology consists of a quantitative
content analysis, applying statistical tests to verify the relationship between
the portals and the variables that guide the empirical examination. The
hypothesis is that Portal da Câmara is the one that offers more transparency,
while the Portal e-Democracia is more linked to the provision of information
and participation, which makes them complementary initiatives within the
institution. Assuming that the portals have different profiles (prioritizing thus
different resources) it is interesting to observe that although participation and
legislative education run together 1) Portal da Câmara presents more information
considered “legislative education” instead of the Portal e-Democracia, in which this type of information does not exist; and 2) there is not an intentional complementarity between the two initiatives, which, although part of the same Legislature, operate almost completely independently – regardless of the portals offer differentiated character tools.

In order to update the debate about journalism and agenda-setting, the article examines the main issues discussed by Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo in their editorials. By using Content Analysis, we analyze 164 texts published by both newspapers between 2011 and 2013. All editorials in our sample mention the terms “Brazilian Congress”, “Senate” or “Brazilian House of Representatives”. Our results point that, among the issues considered of relevance by the newspapers, there are relations between the government and its allies in Congress and political scandals; other issues of social interest were also addressed by the editorials, such as labor legislation and the quality of education and health services. The fact that editorial is an institutional genre gives a special relevance to the agendas adopted by it. The diverse emphases verified in OESP and FSP editorials also highlight that journalistic institutions have their own interests. Therefore, it is necessary that the literature deepens the debate about “editorialized criteria”, aiming to understand to which extent journalistic companies not only set some agendas as those that are more important, but also highlight particular political perspectives.

Ao discutir conceitos e fenômenos associados ao agenda-setting jornalístico, o artigo examina os temas pautados pelos editoriais dos jornais Folha de S. Paulo e O Estado de S. Paulo. Como recorte, optou-se por estudar, empregando a Análise de Conteúdo, 164 textos publicados por ambos os periódicos entre 2011 e 2013 e que mencionam os termos “Congresso”, “Senado” e “Câmara”. Os resultados apontam que, dentre os assuntos considerados mais relevantes pelos jornais, estão as relações entre governo e base aliada e os escândalos políticos; também mereceram atenção questões de interesse social, como legislação trabalhista ou qualidade dos serviços de educação e saúde. Acredita-se que o fato de o editorial ser um texto institucional acaba por conferir um peso distinto às agendas por ele propostas. As diferentes ênfases temáticas verificadas nos editoriais de OESP e FSP evidenciam, ademais, que as instituições jornalísticas são dotadas de interesses próprios. Assim sendo, destaca-se a necessidade de que a literatura aprofunde a discussão sobre “critérios de editorialidade” com o intuito de se compreender em que medida as empresas não somente agendam determinadas pautas, mas ressaltam posições políticas específicas.

Text in Portuguese. Abstract in English: Once the Journalism is one of the main agents responsible for building social reality, this article has as objective to examine how the newspaper O Povo covered the issue “Public Security” between 2011 and 2013, when Cid Gomes served as Ceará’s State Governor. Our hypothesis is that the points of view stated by official sources are privileged in the daily coverage of the newspaper O Povo on Public Security. The empirical corpus is composed of 25 informative articles which privileged the Executive Power as the main source. Our intention is to investigate whether (and to what extent) the official versions are
questioned by the newspapers or by its journalists. Through content analysis, it is possible to point out that the coverage is regularly limited to the statements offered by state authorities.

Text in Portuguese. Abstract in English: The article examines how Elmano de Freitas’ political advertising used the image and the speech of the former president Lula in order to influence voters during the second round of the 2012 elections in Fortaleza. The investigation employed Discourse Analysis in order to examine 16 political programs aired on the TV. We found out that the participation of Lula on the Elmano’s TV programs reveals the existence three main kids of speech: development, union and competence. Moreover, even considering the trends regarding the personalization of politics pointed out by several authors, the image of the Workers’ Party (PT) as a strong institution remains essential to the electoral speech presented by the campaign.

Text in Portuguese. Abstract in English: Wikipedia is a collaborative system in which multiple agents can participate by writing or editing articles. Nevertheless, although the encyclopedia’s principles defend the neutrality of the information available in it, the changes made in order to benefit or to harm political actors’ reputation are usual. This article has as main objective to understand how during the campaign to elect the mayor of São Paulo city in 2012 users have accessed articles related to the three leading candidates – Russomanno, Haddad and Serra – and have edited them. We consider the period from 2008 to 2012 as a reference to explore variables such as the page view indices and the number of editions provided by frequent users. It was concluded that the intensification of the political battle during the election period affects the number of access to such articles, their editions, and the nature of the interaction between registered editors.

This chapter examines the limitations and the socio-political effects of the Brazilian National Broadband Plan (PNBL: is its Portuguese acronym). The discussion considers the main transformations witnessed in the telecommunications landscape in Brazil during the second half of the twentieth century. On the one hand, the end of state monopoly of telecommunications services and the provision of such services by the private sector called for greater investments in infrastructure. On the other hand, the Brazilian regulatory agencies have failed to lower prices, promote competition, and spread broadband access to remote and underserved areas. The PNBL was launched in order to deal with these difficulties. The plan, however, has at least three important problems: (1) the low-speed connection offered to users, (2) the unattractive prices, and (3) the lack of reflection on issues such as net neutrality. The text argues that only by taking such issues into consideration will the plan ensure innovation, economic growth, diversity, and freedom of access to information.

This paper investigates the factors that influence how members of the Brazilian House of Representatives adopt Twitter as part of their political communication strategy. Our intention is to understand the main variables that lead legislators to invest time and resources in microblogging. This quantitative study examined all of the 457 official congressional accounts registered on Twitter. These accounts were monitored weekly between February 2012 and February 2013. After empirically exploring the data, this work reflects on the results thanks in part to an examination of the literature on the intersection of the Internet and politics. The results indicate correlations between the use of Twitter and attributes like age and occupation of leadership positions.

This paper examines the difficulties faced by government projects aimed at fostering citizens political participation by using the Internet. After presenting the participatory tools found on two institutional Web sites (the Brazilian Presidency and the House of Representatives), I examine how the constraints pointed out by a relevant part of the literature in e participation are reflected in such initiatives. Promoting online participation needs more than providing communication resources, since civic culture and other issues are still key factors in influencing our patterns of political involvement. A participatory use of digital tools depends more on circumstances, such as institutional willingness, than on technical mechanisms available.

This paper aims to examine how political conversations take place on the digital discursive tools offered as part of the Digital Participatory Budget (OPD) in Belo Horizonte (Brazil). The authors propose an analytical model based on deliberative theories in order to investigate the discussions over this participatory program. The main sample consists of the messages posted by the users (n=375) on the commentaries section. The results show that reciprocity and reflexivity among interlocutors are rare; however, the respect among the participants and the justification levels in several arguments were high during the discussion. The authors conclude that, even in a situation in which there is no empowerment of the digital tools, the internet can effectively provide environments to enhance a qualified discursive exchange. In spite of low levels of deliberativeness, the case study shows that there are important gains concerning social learning among the participants.

Texto in Portuguese. Abstract in English: This article adopts a qualitative approach to examine the content of the tweets posted by Fortaleza’s city councilors that ran for
reelection in 2012. The goal is to understand in which way factors such as sociability influence how candidates use digital media. The corpus is composed by 1.852 tweets published in the profiles of the city councilors who served in the period 2009-2012. The messages were classified in the following categories: Promotion of ideas; Negative Campaign; Mobilization and Engagement; Promoting events with the candidate; Tweets unrelated to politics or with no specific classification. Results point out that Twitter is mainly used with an electoral emphasis: Mobilization and Engagement is responsible for 45,08% of the tweets posted by the candidates. Interviews with city councilors or their staff complements our findings. As the main conclusion, we can say that Twitter use is determined not only by technological factors, but by cultural, social and political ones.

Text in Portuguese. Abstract in English: The article examines some of the key arguments that involve the issue of "digital divide" in order to evaluate the limits that such a problem poses to on-line democracy projects. First, one discusses the conceptual transformations and interpretations concerning the idea of digital divide. Then the text presents the different types of inequality identified by several authors (such as the technical, individual, and geographic factors). Next, one studies the effects of the digital divide on the experiences of on-line democracy. We conclude that the issue of digital divide (a) need more than government policies to be properly addressed; (b) depends on contextual factors; (c) and that from a epistemological point of view this is a constantly moving concept.

"Title in English: Twitter, Elections and Local Power. Text in Portuguese. Abstract in English: An important part of the studies on Media and Democracy over the last years have emphasized the Internet as an electoral tool. However, few investigations have been devoted to study the influence of the Internet in campaigns that prioritize only a specific range of citizens – such as those candidates running for city councils. The aim of the paper is to understand – highlighting a quantitative analysis – how Fortaleza's council members used Twitter between July and November 2012. It was found a direct correlation between the amount of tweets published and the number of followers attracted by some users. However, many of the candidates remained uninterested in using Twitter as part of its strategy of political communication.

Abstract in English: One knows that representatives’ public image built by Journalism is a factor that influences citizens’ political preferences. This article investigates the frames adopted by the O Estado de S. Paulo newspaper regarding president Dilma Rousseff and her government’s image. We considered 24 editorials puslished in different months and weeks of 2012. Three main issues were identified: Economics, Politics and Social Agenda. Although Journalism is not the only factor able to compose a politician’s public image, the importance of attaining a positive visibility cannot be dismissed, especially for products which have credibility before the audience.

""Title in English: Political participation and the deliberativa model of democracy. Text in Portuguese. Abstract in English: This paper discusses the premises of the deliberative model of democracy as they address the issue of political participation. We attempt to clarify what political participation means for those who use this model, while at the same time looking at some of the major critiques that have been directed toward it. Through a review of an important part of the literature, and without losing sight of earlier systematizations of democratic theory, three fundamental conditions for engendering participation according to this discursive model are pointed to: political institutions should create and offer citizens opportunities to participate in public input; improvement in people's socio-economic condition must be made; attention should be given to particular principles that have consistent regulatory influence on the interactions and arguments in question. This is followed by attention to the criticisms raised and flaws detected by deliberationism's detractors. At the end of the text, a summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the model is presented, along with a discussion of the problem of participation in contemporary democracies.

Title in English: Internet and the 2010 elections in Brazil: disruptions and continuities on the mediatic standards of online political campaigns. Text in Portuguese. Abstract in English: This paper aims to identify some of the contemporary transformations in Brazilian online campaigns by analyzing three factors: (1) the new possibilities of providing political information, (2) the availability of mechanisms for participation and (3) the use of tools directed to improve accountability in electoral contexts. Paradoxically, such transformations have proven to be a kind of trend that directs how consultants manage online campaigns. In this sense, once the candidates – in case they wish to legitimize their political positions before their electorate – watch themselves being forced to offer the users abundant political information, as well as mechanisms of intervention and accountability, we consider this scenario and stand by the idea that improvement demands aimed at democracy as a whole end up being transferred to deputation candidates themselves.

Text in Portuguese. Abstract in English. TITLE: Online Campaigns, Political Participation and the Public Sphere: The Case of the Open Government Plan in the 2010 Brazilian Elections..ABSTRACT: This paper aims at examining the online political discussions which took place on the website Proposta Serra , an open government plan initiative launched by the Brazilian Social Democracy Party´s candidate José Serra during the 2010 Brazilian presidential elections. The Proposta Serra´s purpose was to engage voters and campaing agents in political discussions in order to create a collaborative government plan. The project´s website reproduces some of the features of social network sites, such as public or semi-public profiles, photo albums and blogs. The Proposta Serra s singular characteristic was to give voters the opportunity to create thematic online forums turned to debate issues such as agriculture, housing, urban and rural public infra-structure and education. Through content analysis, we evaluated the deliberative quality of (N=200) messages exchanged by the participants in 4 different forums. Five analytical categories taken from the current online deliberation literature were used: Reciprocity, Reflexivity, Respect, Justification and Information. The results show high ratings of deliberation in the political discussions, demonstrating the forums´ usefulness to promote qualified cognitive exchanges. However, the lack of transparency in the selection process of voters suggestions decreased significantly the user sense of political efficacy

Livro editado em parceria com Alessandra Aldé. Integra capítulos de autoria de pesquisadores vinculados a diferentes instituições. Texto de Wilson Gomes na "orelha" do livro: "Uma das mais profundas mudanças estruturais na esfera pública – afetando direta e profundamente a política democrática – acontece em nossos dias e envolve as comunicações em meios digitais. Isso que era simplifi cado como “internet” e que hoje, o sabemos, envolve recursos, plataformas, dispositivos para comunicação online, abrange os ambientes tecnológicos e sociais onde as pessoas se encontram, veem e são vistas, produzem, editam e consomem conteúdos, intervêm no debate público e se expõem a informações sobre os temas de interesse comum. A última reviravolta social e tecnológica nas comunicações digitais é baseada em aplicativos para dispositivos móveis, em uma conexão quase permanente dos sujeitos a mídias sociais, em sites e aplicativos para o enredamento social digital, no febril movimento de uploads e downloads, no fim da descontinuidade entre o “mundo virtual” e o mundo real, no uso de redes sociais para a detecção e repercussão dos
problemas políticos e democráticos. Este livro é uma compilação de registros e de corajosas tentativas de reflexão sobre as novas experiências da política democrática em ambientes digitais. Os autores envolvidos no projeto, da melhor lavra de pesquisadores brasileiros da área de e-política, apresentam uma rica e atualizada cartografia de projetos e ações políticas brasileiras nos novos ambientes de comunicação digital e apresentam um elenco das mais interessantes práticas e iniciativas do uso político da novíssima esfera pública digital."

Este livro tem a intenção de contribuir para o aperfeiçoamento dos estudos em Comunicação e Democracia no Brasil. Mais especificamente, a proposta é examinar as atribuições participativas que Estado e sociedade conferem à Internet. A obra foi dividida em três partes. A Parte I do livro é denominada “Participação Política e Internet: Conceitos Fundamentais” A Parte II se chama “Sistema Político, Participação e Internet”. A Parte III, por sua vez, tem como título “Esfera Civil, Participação e Internet”. A obra congrega os trabalhos que vêm sendo produzidos, nos últimos anos, pelos integrantes de dois grupos de pesquisa brasileiros empenhados em investigar fenômenos concernentes à democracia, à comunicação e à participação política: (1) o Grupo de Pesquisa em Mídia e Esfera Pública (EME/UFMG), coordenado pela Dra. Rousiley C. M. Maia (Professora Associada da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais); e (2) o Grupo de Pesquisa em Comunicação, Internet e Democracia (UFBA), coordenado pelo Dr. Wilson Gomes (Professor Titular da Faculdade de Comunicação da Universidade Federal da Bahia). Estas duas equipes mantêm estreita cooperação desde 2005, oficialmente apoiada pela CAPES através do Programa de Cooperação Acadêmica (PROCAD).

Based on the findings already described in our previous projects, the objective of the research here proposed is to elaborate an overview of (a) the main theoretical aspects and (b) the practical initiatives and applications that characterize the phenomenon of online communication as a tool and as an environment aimed to improve political transparency. Since studies in the area of Digital Democracy are find themselves in a more mature stage compared to what we had in the mid-2000s, it is fundamental to deepen the understanding of agendas and principles that have not yet been properly explored in the Brazilian case. This approach allows adopting a theoretical-methodological perspective that can be able to measure, for example, the influence of regulatory frameworks and political culture on e-Transparency projects, emphasizing a comparative dimension. Since the case studies proposed here (a set of Executive, Legislative and Judicial bodies, operating at the municipal, state and federal levels) comprise distinct branches of the Republic (with distinguishable purposes, structures and willingness to develop mechanisms of digital transparency), the following hypotheses are presented: H1) There are substantially different patterns of adoption of digital media by state institutions regarding e-Transparency; H2) The disclosure of such information is unequal both by the managers' political interests and by organizational and bureaucratic elements typical of each instance; H3) Inside each administrative instance, there is a dispute between agents from the political field/elected representatives and career employees/officials about how much it should be revealed to the public (observing the legal limits, of course); H4) Population size and degree of socioeconomic development are associated with the sophistication gradient of e-Transparency resources in each case examined; H5) Legislation is a fundamental element that constrains institutions and agents of public administration to adopt e-Transparency mechanisms. Through documental (norms published by different instances that integrate the bureaucratic structure of the State), bibliographical (updated literature on the conceptual and empirical stage), and legislative (current legal framework and proposals being processed within the Legislative Branch) researches; by collecting data from different experiences of e-Transparency (encompassing the design and the comprehensiveness of the tools); by aggregating variables from the databases of IPEA and IBGE (socio-political/ demographic/economic information on each locality covered by the e-Transparency initiative, in order to compare the variables); and through interviews with Congressmen and managing authorities, we aim to consider the data necessary for analysis through quantitative and qualitative techniques. This will make feasible to understand the means and ways of using online political communication resources, as well as to collaborate (as a mechanism of transferring results) to improve democratic practices by strengthening social control of the public administration.

"Title in English: Political participation on the internet: A study on how Brazilian political institutions offer citizens opportunities for political participation. Text available in Portuguese only. Abstract in English available: This study examines the opportunities of political participation offered by institutions of the Brazilian state to the citizens through digital communication. First, different perspectives in democratic theory are presented to address the question of citizens’ political participation; later, one reflects on the importance of citizens' participation as a factor for legitimizing contemporary democracies. Once one realizes the separation between citizens and representatives' political role, the thesis discusses the need for reform in certain points of institutional design of the democratic state. This reform is necessary in order to redefine the manner in which citizens participate in the political world. This work then proposes the adoption of participatory mechanisms able to provide information, motivation and channels of political influence for citizens in the political realm. The mass media are key in the process via highlighting important values associated with democracy as well as promoting decision-making processes that encourage citizens' participation. When looking specifically at the role of the Internet in democracy, this thesis argues that it is necessary to provide ways to correct certain problems in democracy; therefore, one details a model for resources that will encourage participation in the digital environment. Further, the thesis examines how the Brazilian House of Representatives and the Brazilian Presidency employ digital mechanisms to improve citizen's political involvement. The main factors affecting the willingness of these institutions to use the digital tools and the consequences that may arise from those already used are examined. The thesis concludes that the digital media should be used in order to help resolve some difficulties afflicting the contemporary democratic process. The development and adoption of digital mechanisms for participation, although encouraged, must be seen as only one part of a broader project to incorporate

Master's dissertation. Text in Portuguese. Abstract in English available: This dissertation aims to examine some dimensions of the interface between democracy
and new technologies of communication and information, its potentialities, problems and perspectives. To admit that new technologies of communication revolutionize democracy is not only to adhere to a triunfalist perspective. It implies, also, in accepting that democracy have some lacks that compromise its superiority while government form. On the other hand, to deny the potential of these technologies for concerting different ways of political manifestation, inclusively from the civil sphere, is not a satisfactory view. One examine five class of manifest phenomena in the thelematics nets with implications in the political field: Electronic Government, Electronic Vote, Digital Activism, Parties and Campaign in a Digital Age and Virtual Public Sphere. The central hypothesis comprises that democracy has in the Internet a complementar channel to foster the participation of citizens and to conform spaces of debate and information, besides indicating changes in the relations between institutional agents (government and partisan clubs) and civil sphere.

"The Encyclopedia of Social Media and Politics explores how the rise of social media is altering politics both in the United States and in key moments, movements, and places around the world. Its scope encompasses the disruptive technologies and activities that are changing basic patterns in American politics and the amazing transformations that social media use is rendering in other political systems heretofore resistant to democratization and change. In a time when social media are revolutionizing and galvanizing politics in the United States and around the world, this encyclopedia is a must-have reference. It reflects the changing landscape of politics where old modes and methods of political communication from elites to the masses (top down) and from the masses to elites (bottom up) are being displaced rapidly by social media, and where activists are building new movements and protests using social media to alter mainstream political agendas." by Kerric Harvey (Editor).
