Abstract

The work features professional profiles and productive routines of journalists involved in
the coverage of the new Coronavirus pandemic in June 2020. The theoretical body deals
with production processes, professional profiles and work routines in newsrooms. The
methodology used is the bibliographic review for generating a survey and its composition
for collecting a non-probabilistic sample (365 responses, 227 valid, mostly from São Paulo,
D.F.). It is concluded that the average profile of the show is that of a young man from São
Paulo, who, working at home office, increased his dedication time, produced news about
Covid-19 even without specialization in the subject, used two to three sources per content,
and suffered some constraint or impediment to carry out the journalistic craft.
