A reambientação do jornalismo popular no meio digital : uma análise do Diário Gaúcho e do Extra

Abstract

Popular journalism has its own characteristics when printed. There is a preconceived concept and a silent acceptance by the population in relation to popular journalism, especially by the new Brazilian middle class, also treated in this study as "C" class. With the digitization of media and the emergence of new formats and new possibilities for the professionals who work with information, languages change, as well as the concept of dissemination of information and its consumption. Multimidiality, hypertextuality and interactivity are terms that become part of journalism. By analyzing the popular newspapers “Diário Gaúcho” from Rio Grande do Sul”, and “Extra” from Rio de Janeiro, it is clear that there is a change of environment of popular journalism in the digital media, uniting elements of popular genre with features of traditional journalism, and thus creating a new format, which undergoes changes according to the media used. In addition, there is no concrete definition of social classes in the digital environment. All individuals are present there in order to seek information, regardless of the social and economic environment they are inserted in. There is therefore an audience deviation, which is part of the process of acquiring information. The main authors in this thesis are: Jesse Souza, João Canavilhas, Márcia Amaral and Ramón Salaverría.
