For over a hundred years, the information produced by the press were issued, stored, transmitted and received by the so-called mass communication vehicles, using centralized network, whose features are in material shortages, mass production and massification. This system separates in time and space emitters and receivers creating an unequal relation of power, in which large companies have controlled the informative flow, defining what facts would be aired as news. In 1995, the internet which information circulates under distributed network technology, has been appropriated by society, changing the ways of production, storage and transmission of information. The technology aroused the hope that this tool could provide a more dialogic and democratic communication. However, gradually, it is possible to notice new companies taking ownership of the technology of distributed network under which circulates the internet, generating a new control of the information flow. This research conducted a survey and a critical reflection of the different intermediaries between the fact and the news, both in centralized network and in the distributed network, aiming to arouse a discussion that provides new ideas for policies and alternatives for a more libertarian and democratic communication. / O jornalismo é um dos principais meios de oferta de temas para a discussão e formação da opinião pública, porém depende de um sistema técnico para ser transmitido. Durante mais de cem anos as informações produzidas pela imprensa foram emitidas, armazenadas, transmitidas e recebidas pelos chamados veículos de comunicação de massa que utilizam a rede centralizada cujas características estão na escassez material, produção em série e massificação. Esse sistema separa no tempo e no espaço emissores e receptores criando uma relação desigual de força em que as grandes empresas controlaram o fluxo informativo, definindo quais fatos seriam veiculados como notícia. Em 1995, a internet cuja informação circula sob a tecnologia da rede distribuída, foi apropriada pela sociedade, alterando a forma de produção, armazenamento e transmissão de informação. A tecnologia despertou a esperança de que esta ferramenta poderia proporcionar uma comunicação mais dialógica e democrática. Mas aos poucos pode-se perceber novas empresas se apropriando da tecnologia da rede distribuída sob a qual circula a internet, gerando um novo controle do fluxo informativo. Realizou-se nessa pesquisa um levantamento bibliográfico para estabelecer uma reflexão crítica dos diferentes intermediários entre fato e a notícia tanto da rede centralizada como na rede distribuída, objetivando despertar uma discussão que possa oferecer novas ideias para políticas, bem como alternativas para uma comunicação mais democrática e mais libertária.

The research was guided by exploratory study of quantitative and qualitative nature, delineated by bibliographical research, documentary, structured interviews and content analysis. At first an overview of LAI was presented in the five continents of the globe and which countries have and do not have the rules of access to information. Later there were two mappings: The first was about the requests made by journalists (in general) in the Electronic System of Citizen Information Services (e-SIC) of the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) in 2014 and 2015. The second mapping was directed to articles published in the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo, the policy of publishing in 2014 and 2015. Among the documents used is the 2nd performance Report Access Law to public information of the Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism (ABRAJI) who interviewed 83 Brazilian journalists on LAI in 2015. from a theoretical point of view, the survey runs through democracy (Bobbio), the public communication concepts (Brandao), the right to public information (Mendel), data journalism (Machado), news sources (Lage / Charaudeau ) and hacker culture (Coleman), among others. The analysis showed that the LAI is used as a channel to the news source within the policy coverage, but with still low use by journalists. The survey also revealed that there are also no incentive mechanisms to use and measurement criteria on LAI as a channel to the news source, both by the federal government, as the National Federation of Journalists (FENAJ). / Este estudo visa verificar se a Lei de Acesso à Informação é um canal para obter fonte de notícia para jornalistas. A pesquisa foi norteada por estudo exploratório, de natureza quanti-qualitativa, delineado por pesquisa bibliográfica, documental, entrevistas estruturadas e análise de conteúdo. Em um primeiro momento foi apresentado um panorama da LAI nos cinco continentes do globo e quais países possuem e não possuem a legislação de acesso à informação. Posteriormente foram realizados dois mapeamentos: O primeiro foi acerca das solicitações feitas por jornalistas (em geral) no Sistema Eletrônico do Serviço de Informações ao Cidadão (e-SIC) da Controladoria-Geral da União (CGU) em 2014 e 2015. O segundo mapeamento foi dirigido às matérias publicadas no jornal Folha de S. Paulo, na editoria de política, em 2014 e 2015. Entre os documentos utilizados está o 2º Relatório de desempenho da Lei de Acesso a informações públicas da Associação Brasileira de Jornalismo Investigativo (ABRAJI), que entrevistou 83 jornalistas brasileiros sobre a LAI em 2015. Do ponto de vista teórico, a pesquisa perpassa os conceitos de democracia (Bobbio), comunicação pública (Brandão), direito à informação pública (Mendel), jornalismo de dados (Machado), fontes de notícias (Lage/Charaudeau) e cultura hacker (Coleman), entre outros. A análise mostrou que a LAI é utilizada como canal à fonte de notícia no âmbito da cobertura política, porém com baixo aproveitamento pelos jornalistas. A pesquisa ainda revelou que tampouco existem mecanismos de estímulo ao uso e critérios de mensuração sobre a LAI como canal à fonte de notícia, tanto pelo Governo Federal, quanto pela Federação Nacional dos Jornalistas (FENAJ).

Cílem této diplomové práce je představení zcela nového způsobu vytváření i distribuování zpráv a obsahu, kdy se do tohoto jinak tradičně "lidského odvětví" začínají v poslední době promítat automatizované a chytré počítačové systémy využívající umělou inteligenci. Hodlám vysvětlit, co tento pojem znamená s ohledem na mediální prostor, představit jeho poměrně krátkou historii a popsat, jak dochází k jeho zavádění v žurnalistické praxi. Jelikož se jedná o stále vyvíjející se část možná budoucí novinářské práce, která je zatím v začátcích, nepracují s ní zatím ve větším tuzemská média, i když postupně začínají experimentovat například se strojovou žurnalistikou, tedy předstupněm plně automatizované umělé inteligence. Výzkum je proto zaměřen na vývoj a používání umělé inteligence tiskovými agenturami Reuters a AP, které s těmito nástroji už začaly pracovat a na jejichž případu hodlám ukázat možný budoucí nástup i praxi. V závěru zhodnotím největší výhody i nejdiskutovanější etické problémy fungování umělé inteligence v žurnalistice.

<p>Uppsatsens syfte är att se vilka urval, lokala och regionala nyhetsprogram gör innehållsmässigt och geografiskt. De analysenheter vi valt är TV4Nyheterna Jönköping och SVT Smålandsnytt.

Detta anser vi beror på det uppmärksammade studentmordet som rapporterats mycket om i programmen. De inslagslängder som var vanligast i båda nyhetsprogrammen var 16-30 sekunder. Det ämne som uppmärksammandes mest var brott/olyckor.
