New media technology is altering many aspects of mass communication processes. One of the most profound changes, especially in the newspaper industry, lies in the rise of speed-driven journalism, with growing emphasis on what is new or happening now. With more newspapers adopting this speed-driven news practice, the nature of its impact on journalists and audiences necessitates empirical examination, and this dissertation seeks to contribute to the professional and academic literature from a two-part, mixed method approach. Through interviews with journalists, study 1 sought to understand journalists' view of how speed-driven journalism affects their professional norms, routines and output, and how social media factors into the speed-driven online media landscape. The interviewees were also asked to discuss their view on how speed-driven journalism affects news audiences in terms of news credibility, news use, and paying intent. Based on findings from study 1, an experiment on news audiences was conducted in study 2 to assess the impact of speed-driven journalism on news credibility, future use, paying intent, readability and selective scanning. Key findings from both studies include: (1) Whereas most interviewees in study 1 believed that speed harms news credibility but boosts news use, the experiment in study 2 revealed that speed neither harms news credibility nor promotes future use. (2) Speed-driven journalism has no effect on selective scanning or audiences' paying intent. (3) In terms of readability, news stories presented in the live blog-like format are deemed harder to follow when compared to those presented in the traditional format. This dissertation advances the hierarchy of influence model by uncovering the effect of perceptual disconnect on speed-driven news practices at the social institutions level. That is, journalists are wrong at times in their assessment of how audiences engage with and are affected by new media technology, but nonetheless proceed to produce news and content based upon their mistaken judgment. / text

Since the beginning of digital transmission in the country in 2007, TV stations began to worry about replacing analogical equipment, still part of the news production process and transmission, for the digital type. This shift from one technology to another brings technical changes to production routines and numerous possibilities of transformation in the way the news will be delivered. Amidst this scenario, producers of journalistic content grope in a transition full of uncertainties. This research was based on the experience at TV Paraíba, TV station affiliated to Rede Globo, in the city of Campina Grande, Paraíba, which completed its full digitization process in 2013. The study focuses on the changes in news production process caused by the gradual retirement of analogical technologies. We transform this study into a series of news reports for television so that this written text corresponds to the final report of the product. The recordings accompanied the shift from analogical to digital at TV Paraíba, including expectations, difficulties encountered, changes in routines and the attitude of journalists towards the new tools. In order for that to be accomplished, we combined journalistic and scientific techniques in a constructive experience. This final report describes the path taken to build the series of news reports, besides bringing an academic / bibliographic study on the theme. / Há alguns anos vem acontecendo uma digitalização intensa na televisão brasileira impulsionada, sobretudo, pela implantação da TV digital no Brasil. Desde o início das transmissões digitais no país, em 2007, as emissoras passaram a se preocupar com a substituição dos equipamentos analógicos que ainda fazem parte do processo de produção de notícias e de transmissão pelos digitais. Essa travessia de uma tecnologia para outra traz modificações técnicas nas rotinas produtivas e inúmeras possibilidades de transformação na forma como as notícias serão passadas. Em meio a esse cenário os produtores de conteúdo jornalístico tateiam em uma transição cheia de incertezas. A pesquisa deste trabalho teve como base a experiência vivida na TV Paraíba, emissora afiliada à Rede Globo, na cidade de Campina Grande, Paraíba, que concluiu o processo de digitalização total em 2013. O foco foram as modificações no processo de produção de notícias causadas pela aposentadoria gradativa do analógico. Transformamos esse estudo em uma série de reportagens para televisão de modo que este texto escrito corresponde ao relatório final do produto. As gravações acompanharam a travessia do analógico para o digital na TV Paraíba incluindo expectativas, dificuldades encontradas, modificações nas rotinas e a postura dos jornalistas perante as novas ferramentas. Para isso misturamos técnicas jornalísticas e científicas, numa experiência construtiva. Este relatório final descreve todo o caminho trilhado para a construção da série de reportagens, além de trazer um estudo acadêmico/ bibliográfico sobre o tema.

They are the characters that support and humanize the reports. In this study, we try to understand how is the presence of this character in the television news. The object of study is the television news JPB 1st edition, transmitted by Cabo Branco TV, an affiliate of Rede Globo in Paraiba. The research ranges from the search process to find these characters, approaching the journalistic routines of the newsroom, to the inclusion of these individuals in the reports. Other goals we tried to achieve were to identify the tools used to find the characters, understand the interaction of the TV producers with new means to search and contact, especially social networks, and reflect on ways to improve the process of searching and selecting characters. Therefore, we use concepts and theories that deal with issues of humanization of journalism, participation and approach of the public with journalistic practices. It is a qualitative and exploratory research, which included bibliographic research, interviews and questionnaires with journalists of the newsroom, especially producers, as well as analysis of that television news reports. It was also used the participant observation method. / É habitual ver nos telejornais pessoas comuns, que não são especialistas ou autoridades, dando depoimentos, contando fatos de suas vidas, falando sobre os mais diversos temas. Elas são os personagens que embasam e humanizam as matérias. Neste trabalho, procuramos compreender como se dá a presença desse personagem no telejornalismo, tendo como objeto de estudo o telejornal do horário do meio-dia, JPB 1ª edição, da TV Cabo Branco, afiliada da Rede Globo na Paraíba. A pesquisa vai desde os processos de busca para encontrar esses personagens, abordando as rotinas jornalísticas da redação, até a inserção desses indivíduos nas matérias. Outros objetivos que tentamos atingir foram os de identificar as ferramentas usadas para encontrar os personagens, entender a interação dos produtores da redação com as novas formas de busca e contato, principalmente as redes sociais, e refletir sobre meios de aperfeiçoar o processo de procura e escolha de personagens. Para tanto, utilizamos conceitos e teorias que tratam de questões relativas à humanização do jornalismo, participação e aproximação do público com as práticas jornalísticas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória, na qual realizamos pesquisa bibliográfica, entrevistas e questionários com os jornalistas da redação, principalmente os repórteres produtores, e na qual também foi utilizado o método de observação participante na redação. Além disso, foram feitas análises de matérias desse telejornal com o intuito de perceber as características dos personagens participantes.

We design a complete interactive television news system. We develop a news production system that allows for the creation of flexible, content-rich interactive news. This system embraces a general creation process to interactive news that is built on top of a newscast model that evolves from and conforms with the current production newscast model. It allows for content sharing and content reuse. We also create an interactive news viewing system that adapts well to a living room environment. It contains several interactive features designed to give the viewer control and allow them to watch the news when, where, and how they want to. We perform a formative evaluation through a user study and interviews. Our results show that the production system allows fast, quality construction of interactive news. Viewers enjoy the interactivity and control the viewing system provides, but more work needs to be done to improve ease of use. Our system increases extra content visibility and usage over previous studies through additional features, more content, and direct invites to viewers. We also produce and deliver the news over an entire two-week period to a large number of viewers, making it the largest study done according to our knowledge.

由於資訊科技的發達，新聞媒體的電子化已成趨勢。而媒體電子化的項目裡，一套能有效提升編採流程效率的供稿系統，是目前具效益且亟待開發的應用。但目前對於供稿服務系統的研究大部分著重於電子報的部分，並且多數為特定媒體組織所客製化的。本研究主要目的在於希望能提出一套新聞供稿服務實驗平台，此平台要能適應不同的編採團隊組織且能滿足包含平面報紙稿件產製流程在內等不同媒體組織對於各項審稿流程之需求，同時也能針對不同發行平台提供適當的新聞媒材。我們將從權限管理、組織架構與新聞儲存格式等不同方面進行研究與探討，並以政大大學報與政大之聲的新聞編採流程為例，實際驗證系統的可行性。 / With the rapid development of Information Technology (IT), digitization of news media has become a trend. Among the items of digitized media, an effective news production system aiming at improving workflow efficiency of the production process is a valuable application with urgent needs. However, most news production systems developed today focus on on-line news web sites and usually are customized for specific organizations. In this paper, we have used the news production process of the University News at National Chengchi University as the target to design a generic and flexible news production automation system. This system not only needs to serve for the educational purpose but also need to provide the features required by the rigorous production process of printed news papers. We have applied the role-based access control mechanism to design a flexible authorization system. In addition, we have adopted news center as the organizational structure and designed a personalized news article management system to meet the requirement of organization flexibility for experimental testbed. We have done a preliminary evaluation of the system functions and appropriateness and found that the system can greatly improve the efficiency of various tasks in the news production process.

There has been significant academic criticism of the international news coverage of Africa, but little or no first-hand research on the forces that create this news. This thesis draws on 51 semi-structured interviews and ethnographic work with practicing foreign correspondents in Sudan, Kenya and Uganda to explore the question: how can we explain and theorise the production of international news on East Africa? The thesis argues that Pierre Bourdieu’s Field Theory, and its analytical toolbox of ‘field’, ‘capital’ and ‘habitus’, can be meaningfully used to examine international journalistic practice. Field theory has been widely and productively used to understand domestic news production, but it has not yet been employed to empirically investigate journalistic production in the global sphere. The analysis is presented in three sections, each of which focuses on a different ‘layer’ of the international news system: the global field, where newswires compete for clients and capital; the national field ‘back home’ where traditional, nation based news outlets are based; and, finally, the local and immediate site where foreign correspondents work. Each of these layers is explored through an in depth case study of a major news producer/group of producers working in East Africa. The first and most substantial section examines the global journalistic field, and the position and practices of the Reuters newswire within this field. The second examines the foreign correspondents who report on Africa for print outlets in the UK. The final section presents two case studies of correspondents at work, negotiating a local news ecology: the election violence in Kenyan (2007-8), and the international coverage of the Darfur crisis. The discussion explores the fluidity between these three layers. Each analysis section stands alone as an investigations of major news producers in Africa today, and the forces that influence their work. Together, they build the argument that field theory is a useful approach to conceptualising the contemporary global news system, and examining journalistic practices within this. The main strengths of the theory lie in its notion of habitus; the extent to which it can incorporate and explain change; and its ability to link macro level phenomenon with micro level practice. The theory is ideally suited to capture and study the way in which foreign correspondents negotiate a complex and fluid global news system.

O jornalismo 3G enquanto último grande avanço, em termos tecnológicos, na produção de conteúdos, diz respeito à utilização das redes de telefonia móvel de terceira geração associada a ferramentas móveis multimidiáticas que vão de simples telefones celulares até aparelhos dos mais sofisticados. A proposta desta pesquisa, no esforço para colaborar com a produção científica sobre jornalismo e novas tecnologias, evidencia-se em um estudo que contempla o jornalismo móvel, em especial a prática do jornalismo 3G, como nova modalidade emergente de produção jornalística. Com a hibridização destas tecnologias e sua capacidade multifuncional, o jornalismo 3G emerge ao potencializar uma estrutura convergente, já estabelecida com o jornalismo online. Em outras palavras, esta prática soma ao ambiente redacional multimidiático a possibilidade de o desterritorializar. Isto significa uma verdadeira

Apresenta-se um panorama mais amplo das transformações sobre o jornalismo e a indústria de notícias, como as mudanças no mundo do trabalho e no mercado de jornais impressos, e as novas habilidades exigidas dos jornalistas nesse contexto. Traçado um quadro geral, busca-se analisar o cenário brasileiro e o jornal carioca em particular, com o foco específico na Editoria Rio. Foram analisadas as principais estratégias adotadas por O Globo desde a década de 1980 até os dias atuais e o reflexo dessa transição sobre a rotina da redação. Para isso, foram utilizadas informações disponibilizadas pelo próprio jornal e entrevistas feitas com jornalistas que vivenciaram essas transformações. Chegou-se à conclusão que as novas condições de produção oferecem mais limitações do que potencialidades para o trabalho jornalístico por estarem fortemente fundamentadas em uma cobrança por mais produtividade. As hipóteses que indicavam um afastamento dos profissionais das ruas e o enfraquecimento do gênero reportagem também se confirmaram. / This study investigates the consequences of digital convergence and the development of new technologies in the news production process in the newspaper O Globo. It presents a broad overview of the changes in journalism and the news industry, in general, such as the restructuring of the job market, changes in the newspaper business and the new skills required of journalists in this context. Drawing a big picture, we seek to analyze the Brazilian scenario, with a specific focus on the O Globo and its local news coverage. The main strategies adopted by O Globo from the 1980s to the present day and the reflection of this transition were analyzed on the routine of the newsroom. For this, were used information provided by the newspaper itself and interviews with journalists who experienced these changes. We conclude that the new production conditions offer more limitations than potential for journalism because they are strongly based on a demand for more productivity. The supposition that indicated a distance from field report and the weakening of this gender of journalism was also confirmed.

The coverage of news media on conflicts increasingly became the subject of criticism, accused of sensationalism, oversimplification, and underrepresentation of certain issues. While recognizing that it is the journalists and editors that make choices regarding the collection and framing of the stories and accounts published in newspapers and digital media outlets, this thesis sets to understand these choices against the background of the web of structural constraints pertaining to professional, organizational, economic and political contexts of their work. Drawing on a theoretical perspective of Peace Journalism and Bläsi’s model of factors influencing conflict-coverage, this thesis explores what factors influenced the coverage of Hong Kong’s Anti-Extradition protests and how they can be seen as hindrances or facilitators for Peace Journalism. The study presents the results of a qualitative content analysis of material obtained through semi-structured expert interviews with four journalists who covered the protests on-site. The findings display that factors pertaining to the journalistic system, personal features of the journalist, lobbies, conflict situation on-site, public climate, and audience were playing a significant role in shaping the news production throughout the Anti-Extradition protests. A majority of these factors were identified as limiting rather than facilitating Peace Journalism. This study suggests that in order to have a relevant and lasting impact, Peace Journalism needs to formulate strategies that consider the realities journalists face on the ground and factors influencing conflict coverage that pose limitations to its practice.

In the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic, a trend of Instagram as a news source emerged in the Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2020 (Reuters, 2020). Instagram’s visual factor has made accessing news more feasible and convenient through a curated feed. Consequently, news producers are migrating to social media platforms, including Instagram to serve news consumption needs. However, journalism on social media has been criticized for its lack of journalistic legitimacy where media trust is challenged by the sensationalism of news to drive engagement metrics. Moreover, the COVID-19 infodemic (WHO, 2020) has escalated the concern of news credibility due to a circulation of misinformation regarding the pandemic and overwhelming citizens. Hence, the objective of this study is to analyze how a news outlet on Instagram maintains journalistic legitimacy and how Instagram users navigate news through information abundance in finding credible and trustworthy news.  The analysis of this study takes into account an Indonesian news outlet on Instagram called Narasi Newsroom, by interviewing a representative from the news producer, a content analysis of their news content, and interviewing Indonesian Instagram users. The empirical findings illustrate how Narasi Newsroom can revive journalistic legitimacy through an innovative approach without diminishing journalism quality on Instagram. With its principle of educating the audience to understand the news beyond factual statements, Narasi Newsroom’s strategy of riding the wave to serve audience needs upholds journalism values through critical thinking and credible sources. By conducting the study through updating the encoding/decoding model (Hall, 1973; 2009), it was found that the social media logic (Dijck & Poell, 2013) can balance journalism practice on Instagram as well as practices critical thinking for news consumers in finding trustworthy news. In light of the post-truth era, media trust and news credibility may be challenged, however, they are not lost when journalism on social media takes accountability to serve news consumers’ needs. Consequently, it takes both the news producers and consumers to take a critical stance to preserve trust in the news.
