Numa Era em que a Informação se encontra à distância de um clique e acessível em tempo real através da internet a partir e para qualquer ponto do Mundo, o sítio WikiLeaks através de uma das mais recentes e propaladas revelações globais logrou disponibilizar informação classificada e relativamente recente sobre a Guerra no Afeganistão. Essa divulgação é agora conhecida como Afghan War Logs, constituindo-se como a maior fuga de sempre de informação na História Militar até então. Este caso propôs-se a expor a todo o Mundo o que o WikiLeaks considera ser a indiscutível verdade e como tal visando a alteração da percepção alargada e pública de como se conduzem os conflitos modernos, mediante o livre escrutínio do público.
Acessível a todos, terá produzido um impacto, terá deixado marcas que perdurarão pela
alteração do entendimento que o público tem do conflito no Afeganistão?
Nesta dissertação apresenta-se um estudo exploratório que indicia que este caso despertou pouco interesse no público nacional, não exercendo qualquer influência sobre a sua percepção e interesse no conflito no Afeganistão. Estabelece-se também uma correlação entre o desconhecimento por parte do público com o pouco espaço dedicado a esta temática por parte da imprensa escrita, reforçando a importância dos média convencionais em associação com este tipo de divulgação para aumentar o seu impacto.
ABSTRACT In an Age that Information is just a click away andaccessible in real time trough the internet, from and to anywhere in the World, the WikiLeaks site with one of its latest and more debatted global disclosures has came trough with relatively recent classified information concerning the War in Afghanistan. That disclosure is now known as the Afghan War Logs, and represents the largest information leakage ever in the Military History until then. This case proposes to expose to the entire World what is considered by WikiLeaks to be the indisputable truth and so aiming the change in the public and enlarged perception of how modern conflicts are directed, through the public’sfree critical scrutiny. Accesible to all, will it have produced an impact, will it have left marks that’ll last due to the public changes of perception about the case? In this dissertation an exploratory study is presented that indicates that this case has aroused little interest in national public, therefore not exerting any influence on their understanding of and interest about the conflict in Afghanistan. A correlation between the public’s unawareness withthe little space dedicated to this topic by the written press is also established, reinforcing the significance of conventional media in association with this type of disclosure in order to increase its impact.
