Relatório do perfil “gente de toda cor”: o instagram como canal de informações jornalísticas sobre a população LGBTI+

Abstract

Studies on the representativeness of the LGBTI+ community have grown a lot in recent years, especially due to the struggle of its members for visibility and equity of civil and political rights. The aim of this report is to describe the creation, execution and results achieved of “Gente de Toda Cor”, an informative profile on Instagram, strengthened with the practices of specialized journalism with the proposal of “INFOtenimento”. The product gathers information on health, public policies and civil rights of this part of the population, in order to contribute to breaking stereotypes and prejudices,besides promoting network recognition of the LGBTI+ community. The work is supported from a historical clipping of the Brazilian LGBTI+ press that demonstrates its importance over the decades as a space for struggle and reaffirmation of the LGBTI+ identities in the country, making a dialogue with what the main scholars of Queer Theory say and the concepts of Digital Journalism and Journalism in Social Networks.
