"Este livro é fruto da pesquisa de doutorado defendida sob o título “Um novo ecossistema midiático: A história do jornalismo digital no Brasil (1995 a 2017)”. Nela, Rovai chamou de Ultimate Fighting Journalism um estilo de combate informativo na rede que nasce fruto de décadas de silenciame

nto das diversas vozes que não compactuam com as elites conservadoras e com o neoliberalismo dominante dos canais de comunicação de massas. Indo em direção contrária aos que clamam pela construção de uma perspectiva centrista e neopositivista, Rovai buscou demonstrar que o combate informativo é fundamental para a democracia. Aqui encontramos a história de 22 anos do jornalismo digital no Brasil. Aqui encontramos uma nova perspectiva teórica para compreender a comunicação em rede e os fenômenos da blogosfera e do midialivrismo. Aqui encontramos importantes revelações, tais como: o site No. pertencia ao banqueiro Daniel Dantas; o Estadão poderia ter sido um grande portal ou plataforma digital, mas sucumbiu diante da incompreensão das tendências comunicacionais da família controladora da empresa; os embates entre os setores da Abril foram decisivas para o fracasso de vários projetos de internet que a editora organizou, entre tantos outros bastidores."

tudy offers a review and synthesis of existing scholarship on journalist social media practice in China. The authors systematically analyzed recent research studies published in both English-language journals in the West and Chinese-language journals in Mainland China. Drawing on Bourdieu’s field theory, the synthesis provided a comprehensive review of the patterns of practice as well as key tensions that social media use helped amplify and with which Chinese journalists had to contend."

"This study reveals that news briefs are the most commonly found type of pieces published in the emerging Syrian media sector. Together, news briefs, news reports and feature stories constitute 90 percent of what was published during the monitoring period. Investigative reports were very rare. News
...
briefs were not only the most common in news agencies and electronic newspapers but also in a large number of online and print magazines. Military and field developments as well as political issues were the most frequent topics that the Syrian media covered. Services and infrastructure, social, and rights-related topics had limited coverage in the Syrian media during the monitoring period. The issue of refugees also had limited coverage in the articles and reports published by the Syrian media during the monitoring period. One of the main structural weaknesses in Syrian media outlets is the very low number of sources that are citied in news briefs, news reports and feature stories – the overall average number of sources was less than one per article."

ter capital of the world with more tweets per minute than any other city around the globe. In the past ten years digitalisation of media content has enabled extensive concentration and conglomeration of the industry, and media owners are wealthier and more politically powerful than ever before. Digital media is a prominent place of contestation between large, powerful oligarchs, and citizens looking to bring about rapid and meaningful change. This book examines how the political agencies of both oligarchs and ‘netizens’ are enhanced by digitalisation, and how an increasingly divergent society is being formed. In doing so, this book enters this debate about the transformations of society and power in the digital age." (Publisher description)

Le terrain investi est celui de l’Afrique de l’Ouest francophone en l’occurrence le Burkina Faso, la Côte d’Ivoire et le Sénégal. Grâce aux travaux universitaires existants et à une démarche empirique éprouvée, l’auteure présente les spécificités des médias en ligne africains parfois éloignées des références reconnues dans le domaine."

An allen drei Phänomenen hat Correctiv Anteil, ein 2014 in Essen und Berlin gegründetes sogenanntes Recherchezentrum, das sich gemeinnützigen Journalismus zum Nutzen der Gesellschaft zum Ziel gesetzt hat und dessen Arbeit derzeit hauptsächlich durch Stiftungen möglich gemacht wird. Der Beitrag, der methodisch u. a. auf Leitfadeninterviews und Redaktionsbeobachtungen beruht, beschreibt das Ethos und die Arbeitsweise von Correctiv. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem neuartigen Modell einer nichtexklusiven Zusammenarbeit mit ausgewählten Medien. Damit will Correctiv Reichweite in die Gesellschaft hinein erzielen. Abschließend wird die neuere Entwicklung des Recherchezentrums, insbesondere das Fact-Checking im Auftrag von Facebook, problematisiert." (Abstract)

lists and newsroom managers in 130 countries [...] Most newsrooms are not redefining roles for the digital era. Eightytwo percent of newsroom jobs remain in established roles (reporters, editors, editorial writers). About 18% are new digital roles (social media editor, digital content producer, analytics editor). Journalists use a limited range of digital skills. Of the 23 digital skills we surveyed, most newsrooms primarily use four: posting/commenting on social media (72%), taking digital photos (61%), engaging audiences on social media (58%), and distributing content across multiple platforms (56%). Digital-only and hybrid newsrooms are outpacing traditional ones in seven of the eight regions surveyed. The leader in digital is Eurasia/former USSR, with the highest percentage of digital-only newsrooms (55%) compared to anywhere else in the world. The laggard in digital is South Asia, the only region where legacy media remain dominant. Nearly half of all outlets (43%) are traditional newsrooms." (Executive summary)

ibro ofrece un análisis profundo y documentado sobre el origen, hitos y tendencias de los medios digitales en todos y cada uno de los países iberoamericanos. ¿Cuáles han sido los medios de Internet pioneros en lugares como México, Brasil o Argentina? ¿Y en países menos poblados como Honduras, Cuba o Uruguay? ¿Qué rasgos caracterizan a las publicaciones digitales andinas frente a las caribeñas o las ibéricas? ¿Cuál ha sido la evolución de los medios nativos digitales en toda la región? ¿Y el perfil, formación y condiciones laborales de sus periodistas? Coordinado por el profesor Ramón Salaverría, director del Center for Internet Studies and Digital Life de la Universidad de Navarra, y con la colaboración de investigadores de los veintidós países estudiados, este volumen responde por primera vez a todas estas preguntas. A partir de capítulos nacionales de estructura común, la obra presenta una historia detallada sobre el periodismo digital en la región. Para varios países, se trata, de hecho, de la primera obra donde se registra y analiza sistemáticamente la evolución de los medios de Internet en su territorio. El libro aporta, además, análisis panorámicos y prospectivos sobre el ciberperiodismo en toda la región." (Cubierta del libro)
