Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the editorial sports content from two main Newspapers in Amapá; A Gazeta and Jornal do Dia. We analyzed editions of both newspapers during the period of September, October and November, in 2014. We based our analysis on Bardin’s Content Analysis model (1977) and Galtung and Ruge’s study on newsworthy criteria (1965). This study is also based on considerations and discussions on specialized sports journalism, as in Tavares (2009).  Here, the logic of specialized journalism, adopted by the media in question, is divided thematically, that is, in journals/editorials, without a specialized coverage bias in the qualitative and in-depth approach to content. Moreover, in analyzing the content, under the bias of  newsworthiness, it was concluded that the approach taken by publications of sports items does not configure a picture of the reality of  local practices related to the sports universe, because it is still very much linked to the reproduction of materials of other states.
