BARROS, Antonio Teixeira de. The internet as a political media in the Portuguese speaking countries: analysis of the websites of the lusophone parliaments. OBS* [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.3, pp.187lpage=202-. ISSN 1646-5954.
Information and interactivity are increasingly being confirmed as elements for improving political relations and democracy itself. Based on this assumption, this article aims at analyzing the use of the internet by the parliaments of the eight Portuguese-speaking countries, considering their potential as political media. The websites were monitored to identify information offered to the public and interaction channels. Results indicate a more significant investment in the dissemination of information about how parliaments work, their role and their agenda. Research registers a low offer of citizen participation and interactivity channels. What dominates is, therefore, the unidirectional logic of divulgation.
