This paper compiles the contributions from the works and teaching of Nilson Lage (1936-2021) for training news editing, and shapes them into conceptual propositions in order to describe the labour of editors in present-day journalism. Based on the author's references to this subject, we propose to frame news editing as composed by three dimensions - planning news products, newsmaking management, and content treatment - and three procedures - selecting, hierarchizing, and emphasizing -, outlined as organically articulated to the other stages of news production: assignment, reporting and writing. Besides, Lage's formulation of the topic-documentation writing structure is hereby recovered. This approach is justified by the scarcity of literature aimed at such topic in Brazil.

This article discusses the perpetuity of the works written by professor Nilson Lage for the teaching of Journalism, especially regarding essential genres of journalistic activity: writing news and reports. The text analyzes the lessons learned from the books Estrutura da Notícia, Linguagem Jornalística and A Reportagem: Teoria e Técnica de Entrevista e Pesquisa Jornalística, which are widely used in Journalism courses throughout Brazil. The works, despite the years and successive editions, remain current and in dialogue with the present theoretical lines relevant to the understanding of the field of journalistic knowledge, as they are supported by the social construction of reality. This paper highlights important articulations of Nilson Lage's works with other relevant authors, such as Adelmo Genro Filho and Muniz Sodré, showing that his legacy escapes the trap of proposing a merely instrumental journalism, preferring to invest, without being hermetic, in his theoretical and its epistemological richness.

This paper presents a discussion of narrative podcasts based on the analysis of Radio Ambulante, a Spanish language radio show created in the United States in 2011. The research aims to demonstrate that the emergence of the narrative podcast is strongly linked to the tradition of National Public Radio (NPR), the American public radio network founded in 1970. The article presents a brief history and examples of NPR radio shows that became fundamental in the development of the podcast’s journalistic tradition. In addition, it highlights the Radio Ambulante project as one of the most representative examples of this tradition in a foreign language. In this essay, two episodes of this podcast are analyzed: “Las Hijas de Maria Señorina” and “Mais Médicos”, productions of 2018 totally or partially dedicated to Brazil that had their audio transcribed in Portuguese.

This paper presents the radio program named Dick Danello Parlando d’Amore which stayed on the air of stations in the state of São Paulo from 1981 to 2016. The program can be understood as a document that integrates the radio memory of Brazil and reveals an understudied genre: programs for immigrants and their descendants. The article aims to analyze this language as letters from listeners, music selection, the language used by the performer Dick Danello. The theoretical basis of this study is formed by theories of the radio, of listening and affections pointing to the relevance of the sense of hearing and the bonds involving performers and listeners for the radio experience as well as studies on love and romantic songs. Interviews and consultations to archive documents are also part of its methodological route. This article is expected to demonstrate the importance of love bonds for the construction of memory that programs targeting the community of Italian immigrants have produced throughout the history of the radio in Brazil.

This paper proposes to investigate a historically localized transformation in journalism - the transition from the print journalism model as a media support towards converged, integrated and multimedia digital platforms in the 2010s - in order to review, point out limitations and incorporate new elements into the innovation theories increasingly applied to these situations. From a case study of this transition in a newspaper in the state of Sergipe, Brazil, in 2017 and 2018, we seek to indicate analytical gains in research that articulate theoretical approaches based on the technological perspectives in relation to social phenomena that condition journalistic experiences and thus point to the possibility of building a more complex and articulated conceptual framework involving innovation studies and social theories.

Data Driven Journalism is a practice in the process of adoption by newsrooms around the world since the mid 2000s. It is a development of the concepts of Precision Journalism and Computer-Assisted Reporting, initially proposed in 1970, which has gained momentum by the digitization process of newsrooms and the adoption of policies on access to information by governments and institutions. The paper hypothesizes that Data Driven Journalism is configured as an overlap between the professional culture of journalists and hacker culture. The results of the preliminary stage of an ethnographic study of Brazilian journalists, carried forward in November and December of 2012, suggest that data-driven journalists do share some common practices and values with the members of hacker culture.

This paper focuses on the phenomenon of promoting discussion within the Brazilian commercial television, and seeks to formulate a kind of grammar of the promotional, examining the rules which underpin and the strategies that structure televisual productions. As empirical object, elects some calls of promotional character, aired in commercials breaks and broadcasted by Globo TV in the last five years. The intention of these pieces is to call the attention of the viewer to the program schedule, to the channel, that takes the opportunity to talk about itself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper follows the path of research that has been traced on the relations established between a certain standard technological and aesthetic of contemporary society and its impact on practices and formats of journalism television. It starts with the idea that digital technologies in combination with analog formats are generating hybrids on the news. On account of a time characterized by relativization, reframe these canonical models, generating multiform news programs and television coverage in the same manner marked by new forms of tell from the dialogue between brackets. The article notes this phenomenon from the coverage coti-dian taken by TV Folha program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Brazil, the big public-access television channels that operate all over the country are private companies. Their operations are hold by the economical logic, considering the profits and benefits that they may obtain. This paper aims to set up a some criteria in order to define what can be considered, regards this competitive market, television quality, analyzing several aspects responsible for the prevailing position occupied by Rede Globo de Televisão (RGT), aspects that make the company not only an audience leader but the reference to the other television channels.

The paper analyzes the specifics of the roles played by TV journalists in television coverage of climate catastrophes. We believe, with the empirical cut of two particular cases, the reporter takes often part of the proposed humanization of the story, standing as a witness to the stories. With that, the meeting between broadcaster and audience, or its simulation, also happens to be mediated by the ways in which journalists put themselves in the scene. Having a citizen's defense posture, acting as the fiscal or verbally by stating facts and emotions as the herald, such characters / journalists are present in "stories" covered by two reference journalists in Brazilian television journalism, and conveyed at the Fantástico and the Jornal Nacional. The guidelines adopted as the object of reflection focused on climate cover two tragedies that occurred in Rio de Janeiro: Slips at municipalities "serranos" in the state in January 2011 and at the Morro do Bumba, Niterói, in April 2010. The testimonies of journalists Sonia Bridi and Fatima Bernardes served as a cutout for analyzing the role of the reporter and his place of reference in covering tragedies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The difficulties of evaluating TV quality are undeniable: TV is a cultural industry with a gigantic output, strong national character, different institutional formats (public service, broadcast, cable, satellite, internet) and an omniparous vocation in creating all kind of contents. Academic studies dealing with the evaluation of the media have accepted the more or less loose standards that TV professionals, companies and audiences have used or produced to that end or concentrated the efforts of evaluation in analyzing quantitatively programming slots and genres and in the adequacy of programming to the political normative adapted in each country. Academic attention has partially shifted to the "American quality series", but shared standards of evaluation have not been created. Most academic output has eluded or even refused the evaluation of TV quality by those who have been capacitated by society in the last two millennia to evaluated cultural products and the creations of other areas of knowledge: the academicians themselves. In this paper, I discuss several reasons for the difficulties and the refusal of evaluation by academics: the conceptual instability of "TV quality"; the areas that are either dealt (programming, audiences choices) or avoided (textual analysis); the "impossibility" of dealing theoretically the issue of TV quality; conservative and neopopulist attitudes towards TV contents; ways out of the black hole of academic evaluation of TV quality, with the purpose of helping the development of international work in this area.

This paper aims to make a critical reflection about the changes that are occurring in Brazilian television with the entry of a new and expressive band of people to the consumer market. From 2005 to 2011 the so-called middle class has grown from 34% to 54% of the population, reaching the mark of 103 million people. And a direct reflection of the increase that immediately affects the consumption of assets is the strategy of open TV to attract the market that is growing, seeking to raise its audience. Our eyes will be directed to the speech, the verbal and nonverbal strategies adopted by television to attract attention and increase the consumption of so-called New Middle Class (NMC). Bauman, Moretzsohn, Ramos, France, Fechine and Wolton, among others, will help us theoretically to understand the paths of analysis that we intend to do. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper is a summary of the discussion of the results of reception research with freelance journalists of the city of São Paulo. The theoretical-methodological approach adopted relates reception studies, from the field of communication, with the approach ergological, from the field of philosophy. From the binomial Communication and Work, we consider the world of work as a central mediation of communication. At the reception, when talking about the work of 'other', the journalists are confronted with their own work and reveal, in discourse, the values and the dramas of real activity of communication and work [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The representations of the journalist in film have been studied by different researchers who seek, through methodologies of film analysis, or by testing impressionists together elements that contribute to the understanding of the ethos of the profession. In Brazil, for example, are devoted to research experiences Christa Berger and Stella Senra this field. The paper proposes a method of analysis of films with the same purpose for the study of representations of the journalist in cinematographic works, with the peculiarity of using the call path of the hero, especially for the case of guided tours by classical narrative format, as recommended by authors such as Joseph Campbell and Christopher Vogler [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The subversion of the place of emission promoted by the cyberspace in connection with the possibility of public visibility of the contents is bringing on several discussions about, on the one hand, the possibility of a new environment of public deliberation and of a wider space for a non-hegemonic communication and, on the other hand, the legitimacy and credibility of the wide range of information in circulation. This paper aims to discuss the circulation of opinion and information in the cyberspace as well as its social implications. For such purpose, it will be used some data from the research "The place of new media in the environmental discussions: an analysis of online communicative flows regarding the changes in Brazilian forestall code".

This paper seeks to investigate how radio journalism contents' circulation reconfigures itself in a period of consolidation of digital communications' platforms, such as social media and microblogging services, which support the construction of online and offline social networks. It starts with the premise that these platforms leverage not only commercial radios range but also community broadcasting. Particularly, it will analyze digital audio distribution and circulation strategies at the Brazilian collaborative portal Radiotube, that comprehends a network of over 1,400 communitary, commercial, and web radios from all over the country.

Journalism is constructed through narrative, a key element in building worlds by subjects participating in the communicative process. The newspaper story is transformed and takes on new structures as journalism goes through changes. At certain times in history, the involvement of writes with journalistic practice modifies the newspaper report, the text giving factual aspects of literature. The convergence of these two fields (journalism and literature) in a single textual space makes room for questions about the boundaries between fiction and reality. In Rio de Janeiro decades of 20 and 30 this relationship between literature and journalism was noted in the newspapers of the time and if there was a space where this relationship was explicit, was in the police report. In this paper, we propose a comparative analysis between the literary and journalistic prose writer, journalist and playwright, Nelson Rodrigues, in order to demonstrate the degree of influence held between the two fields in the construction of the narrative rodriguiana.

This text observe how the newspaper Gazeta do Povo (Curitiba) addresses environmental public policies during the period 2000 to 2009. The policies are the result of the attention that the government provides for certain topics and the need for a large number of people, in which case the environmental theme was highlighted from the last decades of the twentieth century, when the environmental problems brought to the attention of society . In this scenario, the media act as a space for debate, where we can see to what extent it gives the public discussion on the subject and also as a way to schedule the public sphere. The paper presents empirical data that allow you to observe what the most common themes and moments in which development of these actions the media gives more attention and makes the cover. The initial hypothesis that guides the work is that the themes do not appear in a balanced way and the media coverage has also fragmented, addressing the issue only as a means of disseminating the government agenda and not the debate preceding the establishment of policies and in its assessment.

This paper describes the results of a analysis upon the coverage about children social exclusion in Brazil, highlighting the relations between journalistic practice and public policies. The emphasis is upon the role of public policies citation (in the stories) as an indicator in the comparative analysis between "day-to-day news" and "special stories", in Brazilian press media, from mid 1990's to mid 2000's. Despite the space increase for themes related to the youth rights among one decade, it seems that "minimum parameters" of the journalistic practice are hardly observed in the "day-to-day press", comparing to the "special stories".

This paper wants to establish theoretical foundations and ideas about the environmental communication from the practice of research in Mato Grosso do Sul, in preserving the Pantanal biome. The production of news related to the Pantanal area in Mato Grosso do Sul, also is minimally present in the newspapers, as receive other approaches to environmental issues, showing that the preservation area is understood as the exploration area. It follows, by analysis, that the angle, presence and speech of news related to the Pantanal come as an instrument for firm economic issues, devaluing the biome and the relevant environmental considerations.
