Abstract
Com base em entrevistas com 21 jornalistas portugueses e brasileiros e tomando como referencial teórico as teorias do jornalismo e a sociologia da infância, este artigo discute a escassez da voz das crianças nas notícias. O estatuto minoritário das crianças na sociedade, as rotinas produtivas dos jornalismo e as prioridades comerciais dos media são alguns dos obstáculos para promover o ponto de vista infantil no discurso noticioso. Apontamos caminhos para promover esta participação com base no depoimento dos próprios entrevistados, nas boas práticas de alguns veículos de informação e nas sugestões de organizações de defesa dos direitos infantis.
Based on interviews with 21 Portuguese and Brazilian journalists and taking theories of journalism and childhood sociology as a theoretical framework, this article discusses the lack of children’s voice in the news. The minority status of children in society, the news making routines and the business priorities of the media are some of the obstacles to promote children’s point of view in the news discourse. We pointed out some ways to promote this participation based on journalists’ testimony, good practices of some news media and suggestions from children’s rights organizations.
