Jornalismo Comunitário na construção, compartilhamento e permanência das Memórias Sociais: o caso do Jornal “O Pescador” na/da Colônia de Pescadores Z3/Pelotas.

Abstract

This work started from the hypothesis that community journalism builds, shares and gives permanence to the memories of the fishing community Z3. By joining in a same research Memory and Community Journalism we managed to work in a multidisciplinary way showing how they overlap and how memory is studied by various fields of knowledge, because in journalism, whose practice pervades society as a whole, this relationship is not clear neither in its product nor in professional practice and for the professionals themselves in Brazil, although it has already been discussed in other countries. Thus, the main objective of this work was to explain if memory, identity and Journalism permeate, and how much this affects the memory of the community and journalists. The theme of the work is inserted in the context of community journalism, since it differs from the mainstream press by bringing with it humanization and the realization of the subject, by helping in its socialization as a being, giving it importance. Due to the imbrication of the different areas, namely memory and journalism - with special attention to community journalism, there are no authors who are a single reference that guides the work. It is multidisciplinary and therefore requires different authors and theoretical currents to account for the object, and although there are different conceptions and theoretical approaches for each of these fields, there are areas of convergence that enabled us to follow the path chosen. For the development of this work, allied to the qualitative research and with the objective of expanding the possibilities of analysis and obtaining answers to the problem proposed in the research, we use the Case Study and the Content Analysis. As a case study we used the community newspaper "O Pescador", a printed and free distribution vehicle, which originated in 2000 and was published until 2016, as it is believed that this vehicle constitutes a narrative instrument, in which community stories are recorded. For the analysis of the case study, we carried out an empirical research where 12 interviews were conducted with residents of the Z3 Colony and with eight journalists who were later analyzed within thematic axes where they were grouped due to their similarity and proximity to the content. At the end, one can affirm that the hypothesis that guided this thesis that there is a direct relation between memory and journalistic production in the Colony of Fishermen Z-3 is correct, and that the newspaper "The Fisherman" is a narrative instrument in which their stories are recorded.
