An investigation of newsroom convergence at the MoAfrika media company in Lesotho and its implications for gatekeeping: a qualitative case studySenthebane, Teboho January 2009 (has links)
This research is based on a case study of MoAfrika, a news organisation that has embraced digitisation to produce and distribute content across three platforms. It draws upon observation and in-depth interviews to show how MoAfrika's embrace of a degree of convergence has led to a fragmentation for journalists whose daily work now include additional responsibilities and pressures of time. While there is an increase in the quantity of news disseminated via radio, newspaper and online, questions arise about the quality of such news produced in a multi-skilled, multiple media news production environment. The result is repurposed stories with little original content and augmented employee workloads without training and compensation. The study examines these issues drawing on theories of gatekeeping and convergence. The decision to include a news story at MoAfrika depends partly on which medium it fits into most easily. News values, deadlines, organisational norms and national trends are some of the considerations which factored into gatekeepers' decisions. Primary decision-making was made within a group which also considered expense and expertise, and where the Managing Editor made the final call and set the frameworks for how content played across the enterprise's three platforms.

Innovative networking : the synergy between the public relations industry and multimedia newspaperMerle Carol, Van Diemel January 2011 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Public Relations Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2011. / The purpose of this mini thesis is to investigate the research question, "What is the
importance and effectiveness of public relations practice in obtaining coverage in a
multimedia newspaper?" It is obvious that the introduction of the multimedia
newspaper has affected the role of the public relations practitioner and the role of the
journalists. But has it changed the manner in which public relations practitioners
practice public relations (that is the influence of the multimedia newspaper on the
public relations industry) and its value in the eyes of the multimedia journalist. The study will measure the multimedia editorial staff's opinion and perceptions of the
multimedia newspapers content and public relations practice's impact on that
content. The research is interested in whether the introduction of the multimedia
newspaper has affected the role of the public relations practitioner and the journalists
and whether it has changed the manner in which public relations practitioners
practice public relations (that is the influence of the multimedia newspaper on the
public relations industry). The research reviews the perceived value of public
relations to journalists operating within the multimedia newspaper context.

Previous issue date: 2011 / Resumo: O presente trabalho procurou demonstrar os processos de legitimação dos blogs jornalísticos, divididos em práticas internas, ou seja, aquelas desempenhadas pelos blogueiros, e práticas externas, representadas pelas ações da audiência. O caminho percorrido contemplou uma rápida abordagem sobre a trajetória da imprensa no Brasil, evidenciando as transformações que a atividade sofreu e o processo de legitimação da prática em relação à audiência, e uma abordagem sobre o olhar dado aos blogs pelas teorias da Comunicação, das Ciências Políticas, e também pelas teorias do Texto e do Discurso. Discutiu-se, a partir desses diferentes olhares, a pluralidade de definições que eles recebem: ora são vistos como um programa, ora como um espaço de interação, ora como um texto. Como programa, ele serve ao blogueiro como uma ferramenta de publicação de textos. Como um "lugar", significa considerá-lo como um ambiente de interação. Como um texto, significa compreendê-lo como uma produção discursiva. Constatou-se, assim, a natureza multiforme dos blogs jornalísticos: são, ao mesmo tempo, gênero, prática discursiva, ferramenta (programa) e ambiente (espaço). Dois blogs jornalísticos foram selecionados para estudo: blog do Noblat e blog Reinaldo Azevedo. A partir da descrição e análise do objeto, constatou-se que o fato de os blogs serem jornalísticos não significa que eles estejam relacionados apenas a tal esfera de atividade; há, em relação ao campo do jornalismo, uma transformação em suas práticas discursivas, um ajustamento à nova realidade que vem se configurando. Os blogs jornalísticos representam, nesse contexto, uma nova forma de atuar no campo, caracterizada pela coexistência de elementos estabilizados e elementos que representam a emergência, a improvisação. Ele apresenta elementos do jornalismo tradicional, como a orientação para a divulgação periódica de notícias, mas possibilita novas práticas, como a inserção da persona do jornalista e a interação mais direta e frequente com a audiência, o que, certamente, reflete as condições tecnológicas e sociais do momento. Após mais de uma década de seu surgimento, o blog hoje constitui um objeto de estudo bastante produtivo e vem sendo intensamente discutido sob várias perspectivas distintas. O presente trabalho se configura como mais uma tentativa de entendimento desse fenômeno, para que, assim, possa haver maior compreensão das práticas discursivas do homem moderno / Abstract: This present work tried to demonstrate the jornalism blogs validation processes, divided into internal practices which are developed by the bloggers, and external practices, represented by the audience's actions. This study covered a quick approach to the press trajectory in Brazil, evidencing the transformations that this activity has been through and the validation process of the practice related to the audience, and an approach to the blogs by the Communication theories, Political Science, and also by the Text and Discourse theories. From these different points of view, the variety of definitions they have was discussed: they are either seen as a program, either as an interaction space, either as a text. As a program, it serves as a tool of text publishing. As a space, it is considered an interaction environment. As a text, it is considered a discursive production. This way, it was certified the fact of journalism blogs being heterogeneous in nature: they are, at the same time, gender, discourse practice, tool (program) and environment (space). Two journalism blogs were selected for study: blog do Noblat and blog Reinaldo Azevedo. From the description and analysis of the objects, it was verified that the fact of blogs being considered journalistic doesn't imply that they are related only to this sphere of activity; in relation to the journalism field, there is a change in its discoursive practices, an adjustment to the new reality that has been built. The journalism blogs, in this context, represent a new way of acting in this field, featured by the coexistence of stable elements and elements that represent the emergency, the improvisation. It presents features from the traditional journalism such as the orientation for the periodical news publication, however, it enables new practices, such as the persona insertion and the more direct and frequent interaction with the audience, which certainly reflect on the current social and technological conditions. After more than a decade of its origin, the blog, nowadays, is considered a really productive object of study and has been deeply discussed under many distinct perspectives. This present work represents another attempt of understanding this phenomenon, with the purpose of widening the understandings of the discursive practices of the current man / Mestrado / Linguistica / Mestre em Linguística

Previous issue date: 2017-12-08 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This research has the objective of investigating the usage and recurrence of
linguistic-discursive resources in the constitution of news headlines on an Internet
portal. Based on the verbal language used on the digital platform, we have also
analyzed how certain discursive modes utilized in the titles (such as the fact or
speech reported, modalization, among others) intend to make the news story more
attractive to the reader. As our corpus, we have selected 13 headlines from the News
portal UOL published between August 27th, 2016, and September 3rd, 2016, period in
which the impeachment of former president Dilma Rousseff occurred (31st of August),
with the addition of the three days prior to event (from August 27th to 30th) and the
three days after it (From September 1st to 3rd). The theoretical references of this
dissertation are mainly situated in the field of Discourse Analysis, with emphasis on
the principles of the enunciative clutch concept, direct and indirect discourse and
detached enunciation proposed by Maingueneau (2013), supported on Bakhtin
(2006). We have also resorted to the information staging strategies presented by
Charaudeau (2010). We intend, with this research, to contribute not only to the
studies on the peculiarities of the press online, but also to deepen the reflection of
the market on how journalism is done. The results obtained demonstrate that there is
a visible commitment to divulge relevant and/or exclusive content on the main event
of the period studied (the impeachment), but there are situations when this
commitment is broken by the usage of statements which prioritize the spectacle over
the fact. Many linguistic and discursive choices used in the headlines are justifiable
as attempts to mobilize the public interest. By such means, the Internet portal
conducts a subtle staging of the information discourse, in which the journalist’s
interpretation surpasses the actual news / Nesta pesquisa temos por objetivo investigar o uso e a recorrência dos recursos
linguístico-discursivos na constituição de manchetes jornalísticas em um portal de
notícias da Internet. Tendo como base a linguagem verbal utilizada na plataforma
digital, procuramos, ainda, analisar como certos modos discursivos utilizados nos
títulos (como o fato e o dito relatados, a modalização, entre outros) têm o intuito de
tornar a notícia mais atraente para o leitor. Selecionamos, como corpus de análise,
13 manchetes do portal UOL, no período de 27 de agosto de 2016 a 3 de setembro
de 2016, intervalo que compreende o impeachment da ex-presidente Dilma Rousseff
(dia 31 de agosto), além de três dias antes (27 a 30 de agosto) e três dias depois (1
a 3 de setembro) desse episódio. Os referenciais teóricos deste trabalho inserem-se
sobretudo na Análise do Discurso, com ênfase nos princípios de embreagem
enunciativa, discursos direto e indireto e enunciados destacados propostos por
Maingueneau (2013), apoiado em Bakhtin (2006). Recorremos, também, às
estratégias de encenação da informação apresentadas por Charaudeau (2010).
Buscamos, com este trabalho, contribuir não apenas para estudos acerca das
peculiaridades da imprensa no suporte digital, como aprofundar a reflexão do
mercado sobre o fazer jornalístico. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que há um
compromisso visível de divulgar conteúdos relevantes e/ou exclusivos acerca do
principal acontecimento do período estudado (o impeachment), mas há situações em
que esse compromisso é rompido pelo uso de enunciados que priorizam a captação
ao fato. Muitas escolhas linguísticas e discursivas utilizadas nas manchetes se
justificam pela tentativa de mobilizar o interesse do público. Por meio desse
expediente, o portal de Internet procede a uma encenação sutil do discurso da
informação, em que a interpretação do jornalista se sobressai à notícia de fato

Printed newspapers and on-line news : a study of the factors influencing consumer acceptance of electronic news via the internet.Stromnes, Leif. January 2001 (has links)
The aim of this study was to determine the factors influencing readership of electronic news via the Internet. The status of printed news in the changing news environment was also investigated in the light of increasing electronic news readership. In order to achieve this aim, current electronic news readers were probed on their Internet news readership. The findings indicated that although traditional printed news was still very widely read, the shift amongst Internet users seemed to be towards reading more electronic news in the future. This study found that the two most significant factors that will lead to an increase in electronic news readership are the following: • This medium being accessed free of charge, i.e. where no monthly Internet subscriptions need to be paid. This has been achieved through free Internet access via ABSA since 16 February 2001; and • an improvement in the speed of access. The fact that traditional printed newspapers can be read in an informal environment seemed to be the single most important factor in maintaining its popularity. / Thesis (M.Com.)-University of Durban-Westville, 2001.

Newsroom gatekeeping and attitudes of community newspaper editors towards citizen journalismMahlangu, Johanna Charlotte January 2021 (has links)
Thesis (M. A. (Media Studies)) -- University of Limpopo, 2021 / Citizen journalism has the potential to enhance the state of community newspapers. The emergence of digital media brought about the concept of citizen journalism, allowing ordinary citizens to practice journalism similar to professional journalism. The resultant high volume of news information from ordinary citizens, despite its benefits, leaves editors grappling with what enters the news gate. This study investigated the perceptions and attitudes of editors of community newspapers in Limpopo province of South Africa towards integrating citizen journalism into their daily journalism practices. This qualitative study used interview guide for data collection from a total of six (7) community newspaper editors in the province. The findings of the study indicate that most editors of community newspapers have positive perceptions towards citizen journalism. They are of the view that it could contribute positively towards their organisations particularly in strengthening democratic participation as a corner stone of community media, increasing the circulation of their newspapers, and assisting their communities to strive and strengthen their relationship with the outside world. However, they are not keen to incorporate citizen journalism in their professional practices. Their expressed concerns are lack of ethics and other basic journalistic skills in citizen journalism and the possibility of encumbering the process of news gatekeeping. However, due to many positive impacts of citizen journalism, editors should endeavour to find ways to incorporate citizen journalism into their organisations.

Newsroom convergence at the Mail & Guardian: a case studyVan Noort, Elvira Esmeralda January 2008 (has links)
This case study researches newsroom convergence as a process at the Mail & Guardian newspaper and their online edition the Mail & Guardian Online. It focuses on the reporters’ and editors’ attitudes towards newsroom convergence and on cultural resistance against change; one of the major challenges in the process. With structured interviews, observations and questionnaires it was analysed that communication problems between the newsrooms, different production cycles and time management issues are other prominent difficulties. The case study furthermore provides a snapshot of the convergence phenomenon as a process in a particular South African news organisation. The outcomes could not only assist other news companies with convergence plans but also be used as a pilot study for further research on converged newsrooms in South Africa.
