ESTADO DA ARTE DE VALOR-NOTÍCIA (PRIMEIRA PARTE)

This article is the first of a series of two papers on the state of news value studies in Brazil and around the world. In this one, we searched five Brazilian and foreign scientific journals that are well rated in the Qualis Periódicos Capes and the Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations. We studied 64 papers in detail, including theses, dissertations and articles published between 2016 and 2021. The reference authors in Brazil are Gislene Silva (1985), Mauro Wolf (1995) and Nelson Traquina (2005). Outside Brazil, they are Galtung and Ruge (1965), Eilders (1997, 2006), Harcup and O'Neill (2001, 2016), Bednarek and Caple (2017). The academic debate does not consider the cultural level within communities of meaning or journalistic cultures. The perpetuation of the lists seems to be worldwide. The foreign articles recognize the differences between news value and newsworthiness, but do not distinguish values from factors. For them, the distinction between extrinsic and intrinsic makes no sense. Only 25% of the Brazilian theses and dissertations have a literature review, while 100% of the foreign articles do. The most common methodology is content analysis, both in Brazil and abroad.
