A narrativa transmídia no jornalismo : o estudo das reportagens do GDI, do grupo RBS

Abstract

Over the years, technological evolution has been changing the forms of communication. These changes not only change people's ways of relating, but they also offer new possibilities for journalism. After the digitization process, the current moment strengthens the media convergence, bringing about great changes in the journalistic making and in the way in which the news is consumed. This scenario allows the experimentation of new forms of narratives. This research has the objective of discussing the possibilities of the implementation of a transmedia format in journalistic activity. To this end, we will evaluate the work developed by the Research Group (GDI), investigative journalism team of the RBS Group. The analysis consists of identifying the presence of elements of the transmedia storytalling in the reports produced by GDI. The research is based on the concept of Media Ecology, where the development of a new medium does not mean the end of an earlier one, but the triggering of an adaptation process, similar to what happens in biology. Under the view that the media are not eliminated, but are completed, the analysis encompasses the entire media landscape. The analysis pays special attention to television, due to its wide penetration in the brazilian scenario, being still the main means of communication of the country as recent surveys point out, as media of launching of a transmiático report. From a process of categorization, the identification of the characteristics of the transmediate storytelling will be carried out in the reports of the GDI, seeking to point out the necessary changes in the procedures performed for the construction of the transmidiality. It should be noted that the paper does not seek to affirm that the work carried out by the GDI is transmissive or not, but is based on the same for the adoption of said narrative.
