Abstract

In February 2020, the Sars-CoV-2 virus is detected in Brazil. The first death, resulting from the disease caused by it, comes in March. Also in March the first case and the first death by Covid-19 in Ceará are notified, and the state decrees a state of emergency. Mobility restriction measures are determined. The situation affects the production of journalism. National surveys (FÍGARO, 2020; FENAJ, 2020) attest to the impact of the pandemic on the conditions and working relationships of communicators and journalists. This study seeks, in addition to the repercussion on workers, to understand the changes caused by the spread of the virus on Ceará's independent journalism initiatives. Contrary movements verified by the referred researches are verified, which accounts for specificities related to the journalism production routines of these initiatives.
