Abstract

MIRANDA, João  and  CAMPONEZ, Carlos. The subjects of the portuguese journalism regulation: analysis of ERC and AACS decisions. OBS* [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.4, pp.199lpage=217-. ISSN 1646-5954.

Based on a systematization of legal opinions extended to all Portuguese journalism regulatory bodies, this article embraces a comprehensive analysis of the subjects, actors and resolutions included in the decisions of the two main heterorregulatory organisms of the Portuguese media history: High Authority for the Media (AACS) and Regulatory Authority for the Media (ERC). The study is based on the analysis of 1738 processes of AACS and 1126 of ERC. At the same time, this research aims to empirically substantiate the outcome of a troubled and complex process of relationship between mechanisms. This process was founded in the concern about the consequences of a juridification of the professional ethics provisions and a capture of the journalism self-regulation powers by the State. Underpinned by a content analysis basis, this article also intends to propose a methodological tool able to support empirical research on journalism regulatory organisms.

Keywords : ERC; AACS; Regulation; Content Analysis; Journalism; Professional Ethics.
