IMPACTOS DA COVID-19 NO SETOR CULTURAL PORTUGUÊS: como é que os 308 municípios reagiram à pandemia?

Abstract

POLOBS is conducting a research that focuses on the identification and examination of some of the impacts of COVID-19 on the Portuguese cultural sector. Beginning on the 16th of March 2020 and ending on the 31st of March 2021, this project combines qualitative and quantitative approaches and accommodates different tools and techniques. In this article we are going to take a look at six months of news in the 308 Portuguese municipalities. The analysis carried out allows us to affirm, even provisionally, that the flow of news on the websites of the municipalities is in line with the little strategic weight that culture has in many of the dynamics of municipal policies, and it was possible to identify a residual number of measures of the local authorities to mitigate, in the short and medium term, the negative impacts on organizations and professionals in the cultural sector.
