Theoretical-methodological analysis of the final projects of the Journalism course at UFT

Abstract

This article aims to elaborate a theoretical-methodological panorama about research in Journalism, carried out within the scope of the Journalism course at the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT), based on the Course Conclusion Papers (TCC), in the theoretical reflection modality, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The corpus comprises 15 works presented from 2020.1 to 2022.2. To carry out the analysis of the methodological and theoretical lines adopted by the graduates in their work, as well as the themes and media covered, the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was used as the main methodology. From this investigation, it was observed that there was most of the research interest in web journalism, a focus on product analysis and the use of Content Analysis as the main methodology of the work, revealing patterns, aspects and research gaps to be explored.
