Este artigo registra o propósito de refletir sobre as transformações do jornalismo a partir da incorporação dos aparatos digitais pelas redações. Fundamentando-se na pesquisa bibliográfica de caráter ...exploratório e interdisciplinar em áreas de Comunicação Social e Tecnologia Digital, foi possível visualizar as mudanças das atividades e os problemas que afligem o jornalismo comercial contemporâneo, cada vez mais convergente e multiplataforma. Fatores como velocidade de produção, tempo de resposta, aceitação da mensagem pela audiência em tempo real, criação de conteúdos em múltiplas versões, valorização e até a superestimação dos conteúdos imagéticos nas mensagens feitas para todos os veículos, a personalização constante das linguagens utilizadas, o uso crescente de bots para realizar diversas atividades nas redes e plataformas informáticas, como a programação para mecanismos de busca e interpretação de algoritmos para monitorar redes sociais digitais, dentre outros recursos e atividades comunicativas que passaram a impor ao jornalista um rol de conhecimentos cada vez mais vasto com exigências e rotinas profissionais muito mais abrangentes e especializadas. Atualmente, a produção jornalística exige de seus profissionais diversas habilidades tecnológicas, amplos e diversificados repertórios informativos e versatilidade editorial, que vão além dos repertórios obtidos com a formação universitária, são qualidades adquiridas e aprimoradas durante a produção cotidiana de linguagens multimiádicas sobre várias temáticas para atender diversos tipos de veículos informativos. É primordial a atualização e o traquejo profissional em um momento de constante transformação das tecnologias, dos modos de produção e financiamento dos veículos, de processos de apuração, edição em várias linguagens híbridas com divulgação informativa realizados em espaços de tempo cada vez mais reduzidos. A maior parte das atividades realizadas utiliza equipamentos que combinam hardwares e aplicativos digitais potentes, versáteis e atualizados, tanto para produzir bens materiais quanto para criar produtos simbólicos. Aumenta a depedência de novos bens de capital providos por recursos produtivos e financeiros digitalizados que em menos de meio século superaram as matrizes analógicas industriais, comerciais e comunicativas, cuja utilização tornou-se predominante nas últimas décadas do século XIX, entre as “sociedades desenvolvidas.” Os novos meios e as relações laborais digitais possibilitam produtuvidade e lucratividade muito maior do que aquelas obtidas pelas antigas formas de produção fabril, pelos serviços e o comércio físico.
Journalism, whose mission is to inform and to persuade the public, ought to be serious and clear. The journalist, if he wants his texts to be convincing, has to be honest and also with a personal ...history based on honest deeds. Nevertheless, in the past, some important names from the international press industry held that the invented piece of news is better (i.e., more profitable) than the true piece of news. For this reason, some voices stated that historians cannot use journalistic texts as sources of information for their scientific inquiries. In this article, we will try to estimate to what extent a journalist is to be of real help to a historian. In order to conduct our research, we read many journalistic texts which were published in newspapers and magazines such as “Universul”, “Viitorul”, “Rampa”, “Revista Fundațiilor Regale”, “Telegraful român” (from Sibiu), “Dimineața” etc. Most of the sources we used are referring to the period between the two World Wars from the past century.
Out on Assignmentilluminates the lives and writings of a lost world of women who wrote for major metropolitan newspapers at the start of the twentieth century. Using extraordinary archival research, ...Alice Fahs unearths a richly networked community of female journalists drawn by the hundreds to major cities--especially New York--from all parts of the United States.Newspaper women were part of a wave of women seeking new, independent, urban lives, but they struggled to obtain the newspaper work of their dreams. Although some female journalists embraced more adventurous reporting, including stunt work and undercover assignments, many were relegated to the women's page. However, these intrepid female journalists made the women's page their own. Fahs reveals how their writings--including celebrity interviews, witty sketches of urban life, celebrations of being "bachelor girls," advice columns, and a campaign in support of suffrage--had far-reaching implications for the creation of new, modern public spaces for American women at the turn of the century. As observers and actors in a new drama of independent urban life, newspaper women used the simultaneously liberating and exploitative nature of their work, Fahs argues, to demonstrate the power of a public voice, both individually and collectively.
This book documents the unique reporting practices of humanitarian journalists – an influential group of journalists defying conventional approaches to covering humanitarian crises. Based on a 5-year ...study, involving over 150 in-depth interviews, this book examines the political, economic and social forces that sustain and influence humanitarian journalists. The authors argue that – by amplifying marginalised voices and providing critical, in-depth explanations of neglected crises – these journalists show us that another kind of humanitarian journalism is possible. However, the authors also reveal the heavy price these reporters pay for deviating from conventional journalistic norms. Their peripheral position at the ‘boundary zone’ between the journalistic and humanitarian fields means that a humanitarian journalist’s job is often precarious – with direct implications for their work, especially as ‘watchdogs’ for the aid sector. As a result, they urgently need more support if they are to continue to do this work and promote more effective and accountable humanitarian action. A rigorous study of how unique professional practices can be produced at the ‘boundary zone’ between fields, this book will interest students and scholars of journalism and communication studies, sociology and humanitarian studies. It will also appeal to those interested in studies of news and media work as occupational identities.
Long before the invention of printing, let alone the availability of a daily newspaper, people desired to be informed. In the pre-industrial era news was gathered and shared through conversation and ...gossip, civic ceremony, celebration, sermons, and proclamations. The age of print brought pamphlets, edicts, ballads, journals, and the first news-sheets, expanding the news community from local to worldwide. This groundbreaking book tracks the history of news in ten countries over the course of four centuries. It evaluates the unexpected variety of ways in which information was transmitted in the premodern world as well as the impact of expanding news media on contemporary events and the lives of an ever-more-informed public.Andrew Pettegree investigates who controlled the news and who reported it; the use of news as a tool of political protest and religious reform; issues of privacy and titillation; the persistent need for news to be current and journalists trustworthy; and people's changed sense of themselves as they experienced newly opened windows on the world. By the close of the eighteenth century, Pettegree concludes, transmission of news had become so efficient and widespread that European citizens-now aware of wars, revolutions, crime, disasters, scandals, and other events-were poised to emerge as actors in the great events unfolding around them.
