A televisão em tempos de conexão : uma análise sobre a participação e o engajamento do público no telejornalismo brasileiro

Abstract

The present work investigates some changes which started to show up in television broadcasting after the media convergence and explores more specifically the relation of the television newscasts with their audience. The goal is to understand how the public participation occurs, to observe the actions taken by the newscast production in order to generate interaction and to identify if the internet engagement rates can be related to the audience rates of the main Brazilian free-to-air television newscasts. The proposition is to carry out a quantitative research, with statistical analysis of linear correlation, and qualitative, with content analysis (Bardin, 2009), using the data collected from June 27 to July 27, 2017, from news programs Jornal da Band and Jornal Nacional, in television and on the official pages of the programs on Facebook and Twitter. The public participates, collaborates and reacts in social networks, but the programs give little encouragement to the participatory culture, which can justify the positive linear correlations with intensities considered weak and moderate found among the television audience rates and the internet engagement rates.
