Constructivist approaches to journalism, which have dominated the field for most of the second half of the 20th century, underline how selection and ranking processes produce representations and interpretations of social reality. Theoretical perspectives such as agenda-setting or framing have been pointing to the ways production of news messages are shaped and issues are defined. Research inspired by these contributions does however seem to keep in an area of relative shade not so much what is said and published but what is not selected: the unsaid, the withheld, the untold of journalism. The reality that remains in silence, for not being noticed or for being silenced, is the reverse of the coin of what is made visible. In this paper, it is suggested that this situation opens up the debate to a relatively unknown continent, which could contribute to the larger discussion on the current crisis in journalism. It is our contention that ‘the untold’ might be at the confluence of different levels: the journalistic agenda-setting by news sources; the deterioration of working conditions of journalists, compromising the investigation; and the social capital asymmetries from important segments of the population, hampering the public word (speech?) and the right to communicate. In order to build a comprehensive picture of the potentialities and contradictions of journalism from the unsaid side, we would put forward the outline of a typology of journalism's silences, with particular emphasis on some aspects of "discursive discrimination" (Boréus, 2006), on the one hand, and on citizen silence in the process of journalistic production, on the other hand.

Accessibility is nowadays an important issue for the development of cities. It is seen as a priority in order toguarantee equal access to fundamental rights, to improve the quality of life of citizens and to ensure that everyone, regardless of age, mobility or ability, have equal access to all the resources and benefits cities have to offer. Consequently, factors closely related to the accessibility have gained a higher relevance for identifying and assessing the location of urban facilities. The main goal of the paper is to present an accessibility evaluation model applied in Santarém, in Brazil, a city located midway between the larger cities of Belem and Manaus. The research instruments, sampling method and data analysis proposed for mapping urban accessibility are described. Daily activities were used to identify and group key destinations. The model was implemented within a geographic information system and integrates the individualâ s perspective through the definition of each key destination weight, reflecting their significance for daily activities in the urban area. Accessibility to key destinations was mapped over 24 districts of the city of Santarém. The results of this model application can support city administration decision-making for new investments in order to improve urban quality of life.

Purpose:This chapter addresses the economic assessment of health benefits of active transport and presents most recent valuation studies with an overview of progresses made towards the inclusion of health benefits in the cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of active transport. Methodology/approach: It is built upon the contracted study for the World Health Organization (WHO) on the economic appraisal of health benefits of walking and cycling investments at the city of Viana do Castelo, the former pilot study in Portugal for evaluating the health benefits of non-motorized transport using the WHO Health Economic Assessment Tool (HEAT). The relative risk values adopted in the HEAT for walking refer to adult population of the age group 20â 74 years and the assessment focus in on average physical activity/regular behaviour of groups of pedestrians and all-cause mortality health impacts. During the case study, it was developed and implemented a mobility survey which aimed to collect behavioural data before and after a street intervention in the historic centre. Findings: Most recent appraisal guidance of walking and cycling and health impact modelling studies reviewed confirm that further research is expected before a more comprehensive appraisal procedure can be adopted in Europe, able to integrate physical activity effects along with other health risks such as those related to road traffic injuries and exposure to air pollution. Social implications: The health benefits assessment of walking investments helped local decision-makers to progress towards sustainable mobility options in the city. Making the population aware of the potential health benefits of regular walking can encourage more people to uptake active transport as part of their daily activities. Originality/value: This study provides a useful review of the health benefits of active transport with a comprehensive analysis of valuation studies, presenting value-added information. It then reports a former assessment of the health effects of active transport in the Portuguese context (case study) using the state-of-the-art economic analysis tool (HEAT) of the World Health Organization which is believed to contribute to a paradigm shift in the transport policy and appraisal practice given the need of shaping future cities (and their citizens) for health through more investments in active transport.

As actuais potencialidades tecnológicas abrem, perante o (tele)spectador, a promessa de um ilusório empowered user que se vai construindo alicerçado na narrativa mítica da omnipotência, tornada modo verbal e complemento directo da promessa moderna da omnividência. No entanto, os plateaux informativos da televisão portuguesa do século XXI ainda não vêem no telespectador um elemento estruturante do seu trabalho. São escassos os programas que abrem o alinhamento à participação do público e aqueles que o fazem atiram-no para margens que pouco ou nada interferem no desenvolvimento das emissões. Neste artigo, analisamos a integração dos telespectadores em 1673 emissões informativas, distribuídas por seis canais de televisão (RTP1, SIC, TVI, SICN, RTPN, TVI 24). Trata-se de uma investigação que desenvolvemos no âmbito do projecto “Jornalismo televisivo e cidadania”.

O presente artigo analisa, no quadro da ecolinguística, uma notícia publicada num jornal brasileiro, acerca de um funcionário público proeminente detido pela polícia. Reconhece a centralidade da enunciação para a análise linguística e procura identificar a ideologia subjacente à modalização operada. Defende que o artigo analisado simplifica a realidade, cria dicotomias simplistas e, num certo sentido, manipula os factos para criar espetacularização e atrair o público. Em particular, evoca o interdiscurso ambiental que percorre a esfera pública para, por associação, valorizar a imagem do indivíduo-alvo e, em seguida, inverter a valorização e criar dele uma imagem fortemente disfórica. O interdiscurso ambiental é, então, dado como pacífico, aceite inquestionavelmente por todos os cidadãos, e a militância ambiental é apresentada como traço mais elevado do caráter do indivíduo em causa.. Apesar de se apresentar como uma notícia, com caraterística de texto objetivizado, o artigo em análise é claramente avaliativo e substitui os tribunais pela praça pública para a condenação do indivíduo-alvo, mesmo sem o ter ouvido e considerado a sua defesa.

Partindo da configuração de um novo ecossistema comunicacional, que tem na internet o seu epicentro, procura-se refletir sobre a influência do mesmo na socialização de crianças e jovens, através da análise da presença de literatura infantojuvenil neste novo media. A observação de que os dispositivos de comunicação digital alargam as oportunidades de acesso à informação entre cidadãos que falam, pensam e sentem em língua portuguesa, foca a questão no espaço cultural da lusofonia.
