SUMMARY:

In this research, we analyze the narrative approach adopted by independent journalism in Pernambuco when reporting the new coronavirus pandemic, which became the main topic of journalistic news around the world in the 2020/2021 biennium. The survey focuses specifically on the Marco Zero Content portal, the main independent media vehicle of the state, seeking to unveil the frameworks adopted by the collective, which is willing to prioritize agendas of interest from the peripheries, socially excluded groups, social and community movements. Based on the methodology of pragmatic analysis of journalistic narrative proposed by Luiz Gonzaga Motta, we seek to identify the existence of an intersubjective relationship between the narrators and the audience they are addressing, verifying their intentions and strategies used to obtain the receivers'
validation. Although it uses rhetorical resources similar to those adopted by
traditional media, Marco Zero is based on the constructivist paradigm, detaching itself from the shields of objectivity and impartiality under which traditional journalism seeks to protect itself in order to exempt from involvement with the reported facts. The time frame of this research encompasses the first six months of the pandemic in Pernambuco, between March and September 2020, a period configured as the most critical of the "first wave", whose impacts gained more weight due to the novelty of the disease, generating news mismatched and without scientific basis, in addition to a lot of misinformation. Within the rules proposed by Motta, we analyzed several reports published by the collective that may denote the concern to contribute to the understanding of an unexpected health crisis, as well as the measures adopted – or neglected – by public managers, scientists and other institutions responsible for preventing and combating the disease, offering information gathered from official and alternative sectors, both in the field of science and in communities and political backstage. Our research adopted theoretical frameworks proposed by authors who work with journalistic narrative, new technological media, the social construction of reality, democracy and the public sphere, such as Motta (2006; 2013; 2017), Castells (2000; 2008; 2013), Schudson (1988; 2010), Traquina (2016) and Habermas (1997; 2002; 2010). We seek in their theses and ideas important support to verify whether the web journalism practiced by Marco Zero, as an alternative and independent media, has, in fact, the potential to contribute to the democratization of information and social inclusion in Pernambuco.
