The theory of "noise"

The article analyzes the theory of "noise" in Portuguese governance, particularly in the area of Education. This is a communication strategy used by government officials and their ministerial teams to minimize governance failures: when something goes wrong and information escapes the control of communication machines, recourse is made to the theory that it is merely media "noise," not real problems. The article identifies a tradition in this area, where government officials and their "media courts" insist that nothing abnormal is happening, limiting issues to mere "communication problems."
