O “Jornalismo de Causas” É Jornalismo? [Pacheco Pereira]
Há muitas razões para explicar o domínio do “jornalismo de causas” em Portugal. Ele é favorecido pela relativa homogeneidade política das redacções - muito mais à esquerda do que a sociedade portuguesa -, por uma estrutura de controlo de qualidade, de “edição”, muito frágil ou inexistente, pela falta de cultura geral necessária para escrever sobre política, falta de noções de história e de filosofia política básicas. Mas é acima de tudo justificado pela vontade, que se verifica ser muito mais motivadora do que a de se ser, pura e simplesmente, bom jornalista, de substituir as regras do jornalismo pela intervenção política.

Pacheco, o que é todo cabelo e barba [Baptista Bastos, Diário Económico, 19.01.01]
Pacheco, poliglota, politólogo, politicante, polivalente, politelista, policárpio, polifórmico [...] Num intervalo da contundência erudita com que costuma desancar a imprensa e os jornalistas, o inolvidável deputado declamou: “A verdade é que não sou de Direita!”
De Regresso ao “Jornalismo de Causas” [Pacheco Pereira]
A esmagadora maioria das pessoas que “faz” política não tem uma carreira política, mas quando pertencem a um partido, quando pertencem a um grupo dedicado a uma “causa”, quando escrevem um artigo assinado num jornal, fazem política no mais completo e transparente sentido da palavra.

Almeida Santos Acusa a Imprensa de Querer Destruir Ferro Rodrigues
O novo e destruidor inimigo do PS: “a imprensa, dominada pelos adversários do PS” [só a imprensa mas não as TVs ou as rádios, vindo de quem foi ministro da Comunicação Social, quis impedir o acesso de jornalistas a zonas da Assembleia da República e liderou o processo do Canal Parlamento que emite telecompras…]

Intervenção do Presidente da AR [5º Congresso dos Juízes Portugueses (9.11.97)]
Destaque merecem também [...] os pólos de opinião. Os bem pensantes. Os “clercs”. É determinante o seu papel de motores das convicções e das idiossincrasias. Um talentoso pensador pode mudar o sentido da história. Servem-lhe de aríete, para franquear as portas do poder, os “mass media” e as sondagens de opinião.

A Clear Present And Future Danger: The potential undoing of America’s greatest export trade prize - by Jack Valenti

When Online Got Off Base
Imagine a business where they cut the number of products released; raised the prices of their products to more than 20 bucks a pop; had a significant number of their distributors go out of business; reduced the amount of marketing money spent to promote each product; saw major promotional money and discounts from the two years of dot-com mania disappear; and saw complete turnover and management problems at one of their biggest providers, EMI. Yet in spite of all of these things, (the industry) sold more CDs and for more total dollars than the previous year. I would tell you that is a business that has had a great year.

[Estratégias “top-bottom”] Gestores estrangeiros “chumbam” portugueses
Têm dificuldade em trabalhar em equipa e em assumir as responsabilidades. Falta-lhes visão estratégica e dão pouca atenção às necessidades dos clientes e aos interesses dos accionistas. São também desorganizados e pouco eficientes.

Pagos acima da média europeia, são autocráticos, incapazes de trabalhar em equipa, não assumem a responsabilidade das suas decisões e não têm uma estratégia de liderança clara. [...] Não merecem o que recebem, afirmando que se “pagam a si próprios de forma bastante atractiva e não oferecem um retorno suficiente”. [... Os seus] “não são apenas bons mas significativamente acima da média europeia, quando os técnicos mais jovens e trabalhadores recebem 60% abaixo da média europeia”.
