Notícia ampliada: o impacto das fake news na segurança pública do Amapá

Abstract

This experimental project was developed within the Journalism program at the Federal University of Amapá (UNIFAP) and focuses primarily on the impact of fake news on public safety in the state of Amapá. The chosen theme stemmed from growing concern about the spread of disinformation and its direct consequences on the population's daily lives, especially in a context marked by the rapid spread and consumption of news. To achieve this goal, the project adopts the approach of informative journalism, through news, as it is a genre that values investigation, multiple sources, and contextualization of facts. The final product is an expanded news story, constructed based on interviews, official data, and presentations of real cases recorded in the state. The theoretical framework for this work was developed based on the contributions of Pierre Lévy (1999), Nilson Lage (1987, 2008), Henry Jenkins (2006), and Manuel Castells (1999), whose approaches enabled an understanding of the communicational and social phenomena related to disinformation. The methodological foundation was based on the concepts of Antonio Carlos Gil (2008) and Maria Cecília Minayo (2002). The aim of the research is to alert the public to the risks of misinformation and reinforce the role of journalism as a tool for enlightenment and social responsibility.
