The use of hyperlinks in blogs produces hypertexts, which are characterized by an irregular and not sequential organization. Contrary to the narrative structures in which the author exercises his authority by setting an order of events, hypertexts compromise the integrity of authorship. Blog hyperlinking thus challenges traditional notion of authorship and control exercised over the speech produced. Political contexts, such as those inhabited by politicians and news providers, are quite sensitive to these compromises as control over meanings is seen as problematic. The use of a hyperlink can be seen as willingness to renounce to full control, but acknowledging its presence is insufficient to analyze its effects in the meaning of the posts. This article argues that a qualitative assessment of links is necessary if a full understanding of hyperlinks implications is to be provided. It proposes a model of analysis with three levels of compromising: referential, accessory, and compulsory.

Apresentada como um importante instrumento no combate à progressão da pandemia de covid-19, desde que foi mencionada pela primeira vez nos media, a aplicação Stayaway Covid manteve-se em cena no panorama mediático nacional, tendo originado cerca de 1.400 notícias em 2020. Este assinalável volume de notícias justifica-se não só pela potencial relevância desta tecnologia em contexto de pandemia, mas também pelas polémicas que se levantaram na opinião pública e nos media. De forma a contribuir para a compreensão da cobertura noticiosa da aplicação, foram analisadas as fontes de uma amostra de 182 notícias de imprensa, rádio e televisão com referência à Stayaway Covid, distinguindo as que focam as controvérsias da privacidade e da obrigatoriedade das que não o fazem.

[Abstract] Following the global financial crisis of 2007/2008, five European countries called for external financial assistance. Austerity policies were implemented, but the extent to which the bailout deal impacted the Portuguese and Spanish public service broadcasters has not been yet thoroughly investigated. Both born in dictatorial regimes, these public service broadcasters in democratic contexts followed different solutions for governance and funding. This article investigates the changes produced in the Portuguese and Spanish public media under the austerity era, analysing the policy measures implemented, as well as the economic and ratings performance of both public service broadcasters. The aim is to assess if external factors (such as external assistance) originated similar effects in both countries. Results show that, in spite of different funding and governance models adopted, both public services were heavily impacted in terms of revenues and ratings and that the austerity period provided the context to set up a neoliberal ideological point-of-view. Both public services lost legitimacy and their cultural and political role was undermined by a discussion that was grounded on economic factors alone. ; Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (Portugal); UIDB/00736/2020
