This diploma thesis deals with the everyday life of journalists between years 1970 - 1990. It is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part draws mainly from books on sociology, Statistics Office and publications and journals of "The Journalist" ("Novinář") publishing. There are definitions of the key terms and statistic data on media, culture and life style in the first part. It also depicts Czech society in the time of Normalization, as well as professional and social structure of the population, scholar-ship and the position of a journalist in this era. The practical part is devoted to the interviews with journalists and analyses separate aspects of everyday life. This analysis was made with the usage of the qualitative method and compares particular responses of the journalists with the data from the theoretical part.

This project proposes a user-focused approach to study the algorithm logic of on-demand apps, using Netflix as a case study. The main research interest is the perception that the user has about the suggestion and recommendation logic of Netflix. In order to gather the information, a walkthrough method on Netflix was applied as well as personal, in-depth think aloud interviews were carried out. The sample consisted on a selection of heavy users, millennials ex-pats living in Singapore and working in the creative industry to get specific insights on their relationship with the algorithm.  To analyze the gathered material, qualitative content analysis was carried out. This kind of study is important within today’s contemporary media environment to have integral approach to users perceptions instead of just analytical figures and numbers. The theoretical context used to enlight some of the conclusions discussed on this research were based on the study of media in everyday life, global cultural industry studies, as well as algorithm culture and the science and technology studies. How algorithms are perceived have major repercussions not only on on-demand apps, technology business models or entertainment industry but also an intense influence on the way people consume content. Re-thinking the user as a co-producer of information and knowledge, considering some of the implications this phenomenon might have on the creative industry and how that affects on our daily life are some of the issues this research elaborated on. It can be said that the selected sample appreciates the suggestion logics and it has multiple functionalities: recommendation, curation, entertainment, companionship and leisure. Netflix Originals are very well validated; being one of the main attractions of the app. Interface, functionality and features are also items that the sample positively highlights. The accuracy perception of the algorithm is good, although low when compared to other countries where the sample used the app. The same applies to the amount of content and titles available, being these last two, issues that Netflix could improve.   This research was conducted for 8 months, from October 2016 to May 2017, for Sodertorn University – Stockholm, Sweden, with the guidance and support of Associate Professor Anne Kaun.

For so much, the theoretical perspective of Alfred Schutz's phenomenology is adopted to observe the journalists' behavior in the work place. The objective is to describe and to understand the operation mechanisms of the intrinsic relevance s system to the journalistic field. To understand the constitution of what we can call a journalistic "common sense" and the construction of established visions about the everyday life on the city, is opted for an etno-construcionist approach, based in the notion of social construction of the reality. Addressing the analysis focus to the TV local journalism, the methodological choice is the application of the Etnomethodology. The purpose is to understand as the journalists of TV see (perceive) the urban life and that it sorts out that peculiar framing is reverse-built in a narrative marked by the techniques and procedures of journalistic counting and of the audiovisual language. It was delimited as studies object the routines of production of the television news JPB 1st Edition, exhibited daily by Cabo Branco TV and Paraíba TV, affiliated stations to the Globo Broadcasting Network in the State of Paraíba. A field research was accomplished systematized in two apprenticeships: the participant observation and the application of interviews semi-structured with the responsible journalists by the production and edition of the analyzed television news. The information and obtained inferences were divided in two different perspectives. First the "regularities" of the productive routines and way of work organization will be analyzed, as well as the hierarchical and organizational structure in which the production of the television news is inserted. In a second moment, analytical narratives will be presented on episodes and circumstances observed during the field research. They are peculiar situations that reveal the compound linkage of relationships that settles down in the news production process and how the editorial choices are permeate from subjective and symbolic aspects. / Considerando o jornalismo enquanto um modo de conhecimento específico com uma lógica própria de percepção do cotidiano, esta dissertação busca compreender as relações entre o conhecimento do senso comum e as formas de apreensão da realidade social adotadas no processo de produção de notícias. Para tanto, adota-se a perspectiva teórica da fenomenologia de Alfred Schutz aplicada à observação do comportamento dos jornalistas no ambiente de trabalho: a redação. O objetivo é descrever e compreender os mecanismos de funcionamento do sistema de relevâncias intrínseco ao campo jornalístico. Para compreender a constituição do que podemos chamar de um senso comum da redação e a construção de visões apriorísticas sobre o cotidiano da cidade, optou-se por uma abordagem etno-construcionista, fundamentada na noção de construção social da realidade. Direcionando o foco de análise ao telejornalismo local, propõe-se como escolha metodológica a aplicação da Etnometodologia. O propósito é compreender como os jornalistas de TV vêem (percebem) a vida urbana e de que maneira esse enquadramento peculiar é re-construído em uma narrativa marcada pelas técnicas e procedimentos de apuração jornalística e da linguagem audiovisual. Delimitou-se como objeto de estudo as rotinas de produção do telejornal JPB 1ª Edição, exibido diariamente pela TV Cabo Branco e TV Paraíba, emissoras afiliadas à Rede Globo no Estado da Paraíba. Foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo sistematizada em dois estágios: a observação participante e a aplicação de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com os jornalistas responsáveis pela produção e edição do telejornal analisado. As informações e inferências obtidas foram divididas em duas perspectivas distintas. Primeiro serão analisadas as regularidades das rotinas produtivas e modo de organização de trabalho na redação, bem como a estrutura hierárquica e organizacional no qual a produção do telejornal está inserida. Num segundo momento, serão apresentadas narrativas analíticas sobre episódios e circunstâncias observadas durante a pesquisa de campo. São situações particulares que revelam o complexo encadeamento de relações que se estabelece no processo de produção de notícias, bem como os aspectos subjetivos e simbólicos que permeiam as escolhas editoriais.

Utilizando a análise do discurso e análise de conteúdo como ferramentas metodológicas, busca-se compreender se e de que forma ocorre esta associação. No percurso da pesquisa, busca-se também compreender que elementos caracterizam a presença de abordagem de promoção do consumo, que elementos configuram a presença da felicidade como argumento e que elementos estabelecem elos entre estes dois campos. Esta discussão é realizada com o apoio de revisão bibliográfica que contempla estudos sobre desenvolvimento infantil, caracterização da infância na sociedade, sociedade de consumo, felicidade e consumo, publicidade infantil, marketing infantil, mídia e infância, infância e Internet, e também sobre o papel do YouTube no contexto midiático contemporâneo.
