This paper proposes a reflection about the use of mobile social media for the development of collaborative systems in news production. The focus is the investment of news outlets in strategic appropriation of applications (apps) for social networks to search for information collected in mobility by amateurs. This is on the assumption that the practices involving partnerships between professionals and amateurs, set to Pro-Am by Anderson (2006), may be assuming functions and specific dynamic in multiplatform distribution chain of certain news media, based on the potential and limitations of appropriate tools for them.

This paper presents partial results of a doctoral research focused on the multiplatform distribution involving journalism in digital networks. This research starts from the hypothesis that convergence with digital media, which will be defined during this article, results in the expansion of communication contracts (Charaudeau, 2007) proposed by news outlets. The case of the newspaper "Zero Hora" is analyzed in the thesis. This paper proposes a reflection about the possible expansion of communication contracts offered by the vehicle from the observation of their staging devices (Charaudeau, 2007). With this intention, we present a description of the findings of one of the steps of the study: the identification and analysis of the remissions found in "Zero Hora". Movements which depart from these remissions are checked in 18 Zero Hora.com editions , 18 "Zero Hora" editions on iPad and 18 "Zero Hora" editions on iPhone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper refl ects on the collaboration as a characteristic feature inherent to the model known as participatory journalism. It starts with the premise that the term participation is limited to the description of the practice. Another point developed is the ability of the Pro-Am in collaborative journalism as a movement complexifi es exchanges between journalists and amateurs in digital newspapers, surpassing the prospects of a process of joint participation. Observed points in the study indicate that collaborative journalism on digital networks is a communicative modality that has marked peculiarities due to its shape and complexity of trade between that enables journalists and amateurs. Collaboration is indeed one of the aspects that diff erentiate their systems in cyberspace. Also, another characteristic that distinguishes the production is ubiquitous, occurring from the widespread use of computers in collective mobile wireless environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
