          Abstract

          Abstract While exploring the uncharted area of the level of adversariness in the investigative reporting of far-right populism, this study aims to identify the kinds of criticisms featuring in the news coverage and determine which of those trace back to the initiative of media professionals. Resorting to a mixed-method comprising content analysis and reconstructive biography of the newsmagazine and tv reporting of the Chega party, it concludes that media dynamics related to the journalistic initiative and the adversarial particularities of investigative reporting account for the frequent and harsh endogenous and exogenous criticisms. Besides initiating the news story, investigative journalists also take the lead in voicing criticisms in the reporting confirming both the enterprise of the investigative reporting and its adversariness towards far-right populism.

          Resumo Mediante uma incursão na área inexplorada do nível de adversatividade da reportagem de investigação sobre o populismo de extrema-direita este estudo visa identificar os tipos de críticas presentes na cobertura noticiosa e determinar quais dessas críticas correspondem à iniciativa jornalística. Recorrendo a um método misto que combina a análise de conteúdo e a biografia reconstrutiva, conclui que as dinâmicas mediáticas relacionadas com a iniciativa jornalística e as particularidades da reportagem de investigação explicam tanto a frequência como a severidade das críticas endógenas e exógenas constantes no tratamento noticioso do partido Chega. Para além de originadores da cobertura noticiosa, os repórteres de investigação assumem a liderança na expressão de críticas confirmando tanto a iniciativa jornalística como a faceta adversativa do jornalismo de investigação relativamente ao populismo.
