Full textAbstract:
Electronic journals unfold their most valuable features when they are inter-linked with other documents, archives and databases. These electronic journals need an archiving system that is based on a global concept. Archiving ensures "continued access indefinitely into the future of records stored in digital electronic form". Archiving system has to be flexible to adopt the new technological generation. The rapid pace at which technology becomes obsolete makes archiving an extremely expensive undertaking. The librarians are more concerned about the archiving of the electronic journals themselves, or getting access to the archives established by the publishers or the aggregators. This paper focuses on the issues related to the archiving of electronic journals in Physics and Astronomy by the publishers, aggregators and the consortia.

Full textAbstract:
There is a strong history of social science research within Latin America, but its visibility (both within and outside the region) has been low for reasons of language and print distribution. The introduction of the Internet and online publication makes this information potentially more visible to the global research community, and within Latin America several organizations have undertaken to exploit this opportunity. The approaches taken show how collaboration between countries, and particularly between librarians and publishers, can provide innovative solutions. The CLACSO project uses a digital library model as a publishing platform for its member journals and this has provided a successful - and hopefully sustainable - model.

Full textAbstract:
Literary journals have always held a shifting and uncertain place in Australian cultural life, and in recent years, technological developments have both destabilised and provided new possibilities for literary journal publishing. While literary journals have a long history of adapting to challenges, material changes in publication media brought about by the introduction of digital publishing technologies have struck deeper than ever before, and prompted questions about journals' survival and relevance. These questions have, as yet, been the subject of little academic inquiry. This project aims to fill this gap in the knowledge of literary publishing in the 'messy', 'post-digital' publishing ecology, which is characterised by change and negotiations between media and their materialities. The research examines the role materiality plays in the literary journal field within this landscape, and asks how literary journal editors exploit the languages of different media to achieve their goals. In responding to these questions, the research employs methodology that combines interviews with Australian literary journal editors and textual analysis, complemented by a contextual review and underpinned by a theoretical framework based on the sociology of literature. The research argues that a combination of economic, technological, and cultural factors has given rise to a 'hierarchy of media' favouring print in the literary journal field. Within this hierarchy, editors' opinions and activities, funding constraints, and changing markets position print as a site of literary and symbolic value. This hierarchy can, however, be called into question when editors' perspectives are mitigated by those of readers and writers. Here, digital and print textualities and literacies are defined by difference, rather than their capacity to communicate literary or symbolic value. This thesis presents findings on the economics and culture of the Australian literary journal field, and the ways literary journal editors communicate through media and their materialities in the 'post-digital' publishing ecology.

Full textAbstract:
Esta pesquisa buscou avaliar se as bibliotecas envolvidas em atividades de consórcio estão atuando como instrumentos sociais de democratização e ampliação do acesso à informação científica através de suas políticas de desenvolvimento de coleções. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo de caso de consórcio de bibliotecas universitárias brasileiras para aquisição de periódicos científicos. Por meio de uma postura dialética como forma de conhecimento e como método de pensar o objeto de estudo, foi realizada uma análise do contexto sócio-econômico caracterizado pela globalização eletrônica, o processo de crescente exclusão social e a mudança no fluxo do conhecimento científico para uma cultura do digital, buscando verificar quais as relações implícitas e explícitas que afetam o desenvolvimento de coleções e ampliam uma tendência marcada pelo agravamento da infoexclusão digital no Brasil em tempos recentes. Constatou-se que a forte presença de oligopólios de poder no mercado internacional de periódicos científicos e a existência de um contexto dominado pela diminuição crescente de recursos financeiros nas bibliotecas brasileiras, sobretudo a partir da década de noventa, tem restringido a amplitude das metas de consórcios e impedido que se maximize, assim, o ganho social em longo prazo. Os resultados da pesquisa também revelaram que persistem desafios para o desenvolvimento de coleções através de atividades cooperativas, dentre eles o fortalecimento das atividades de marketing executadas pelas bibliotecas participantes, permitindo maior disseminação dos recursos eletrônicos existentes e um maior poder de negociação do consórcio com os oligopólios do mercado de periódicos científicos. Além disso, ficou constatada uma carência real pela realização de novos consórcios de bibliotecas, que contemplem outros tipos de documentos que não periódicos científicos e associados às bibliotecas públicas e regionais, possibilitando uma democratização do conhecimento para uma maior parcela da sociedade, minimizando a exclusão digital existente.<br>The research aimed at evaluating the consortia activities in terms of its performance as social instruments of democratization and broadening of scientific information access, by means of its policies of collection development.

The analysis above struggles to check implicit and explicit relations affecting collection development and widening a trend, marked by the gravity of current digital exclusion in Brazil. Research findings revealed that : the presence of scientific publishers monopoly power and the lower budgets of the brazilian libraries in the nineties, have restricted consortias purposes as well as blocked likely long-term social gains; challenges for collection development through cooperative activities still persist among them, the strenghtening of marketing actions performed by those participating libraries, allowing greater electronic resources dissemination, as well as greater negotiation posssibilities between consortium and monopolies in the scientific periodicals market ; lack of new libraries consortia embracing other types of documents non-scientific journals associated with public and regional libraries, allowing knowledge democratization to greater extents of society, minimizing digital exclusion.

Syfte med min studie är att undersöka specialpedagogers uppdrag i tre olika elevhälsoteam i samma kommun och hur specialpedagoger upplever arbetet med digitala journalsystem. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i ett sociokulturellt perspektiv där synsättet är att lärande och kunskapsutveckling sker i interaktion med andra. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats där semistrukturerade intervjuer använts som metod med fyra specialpedagoger och en rektor. Med ett hermeneutiskt synsätt har jag försökt tolka och förstå de resultat som framkommit. Resultatet av denna studie visar att administration med planering och förberedande av ärende inför elevhälsoteamens möten och dokumentation av pedagogiska dokument är vanligt förekommande uppdrag för specialpedagoger i de i studien ingående elevhälsoteam. Det specialpedagogiska perspektivet att finna alternativa vägar och lösningar för inlärning är liksom anpassad undervisning på framförallt individnivå men även gruppnivå uppdrag som genomförs ofta. Samarbete mellan specialpedagog och rektor eftertraktas av specialpedagoger i studien men det faktiska samarbetet varierar stort. Digitala journalsystem har skapat möjligheter som tidigare inte fanns och ordet tillgänglighet har fått en bred betydelse i form av tillgänglighet till arkiv, mallar och stödmaterial. Nackdelen med det digitala journalsystemet är att tillgängligheten endast gäller för medlemmar i elevhälsoteamen och inte för övrig personal som arbetar nära elever.<br>The purpose with my research is to investigate special educators’ tasks in three different student wellness teams and how special educators experience their work with digital journal systems. The study has a qualitative approach where semi-structured interviews were used as the method with four special educators and a principal. A hermeneutic approach is applied as the interpretative analysis of the interview data. The result of this study shows that administrative tasks and preparation of cases before student wellness teams meetings and educational documentation are common tasks for special educators for those partaking in this study. The special educator’s perspective to find alternative ways and solutions to learning is common as well as adaptive teaching, especially on an individual level but also in groups. Cooperation between special educator and principal is sought after by special educators in this study but the actual cooperation varies heavily. The digital journal system has created previously unavailable opportunities and the term availability has become a broader meaning by way of archives, templates, and support materials. The downside with the digital journal system is that availability only applies to members of the team and not to others working closely with students.

A pesquisa tem como objeto as revistas científicas brasileiras on-line da área de Comunicação que apresentaram classificação Qualis A Nacional em 2008, textos disponíveis completos on-line e edição mais recente publicada neste mesmo ano. Tal recorte compreende o que a Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - Capes - avalia como os melhores periódicos nesse âmbito: Comunicação, Mídia e Consumo; ECompós; Eptic On Line, Galáxia; Intercom - Revista Brasileira de Ciências da Comunicação; Intexto; Revista FAMECOS; Revista Fronteiras; e Studium. O objetivo principal do trabalho foi a identificação de tendências na produção editorial de revistas científicas brasileiras on-line da área de Comunicação, considerando especialmente o design dessas publicações. Como objetivos específicos, buscou-se compreender e discutir o papel dos periódicos no âmbito da comunicação formal da ciência, a partir dos valores e modelos científicos; identificar características próprias do processo de produção editorial de revistas científicas e como estas se relacionam com o design desses periódicos on-line; e analisar o design de revistas científicas brasileiras disponíveis on-line da área da Comunicação. A metodologia empregada partiu da pesquisa bibliográfica que estabeleceu os fundamentos teóricos sobre ciência e o campo da Comunicação, particularmente acerca das revistas científicas, da produção editorial e do design. A análise das publicações delineou-se em duas etapas estruturadas a partir da elaboração de instrumento de análise criado com base no roteiro de edição de revistas científicas on-line proposto por Gruszynski, Golin e Castedo (2008). A primeira etapa teve em vista o fluxo de produção das revistas, do planejamento à circulação, que se reflete no produto final disponível aos leitores. Além de dados quantitativos, foram trazidos exemplos específicos que se destacaram por apresentar peculiaridades dos títulos. Já na segunda etapa, focou-se na identificação de tendências de uso de imagens como recurso para construção de conhecimento nessas publicações. Constatou-se que, apesar de algumas mudanças indicarem a influência da tecnologia informática na produção das revistas que compõem o corpus desta pesquisa, sobretudo na etapa de circulação dos títulos, tais alterações não aparecem em todas as etapas das práticas editoriais. A escrita e a edição dos conteúdos mantêm-se fortemente anconradas nas bases da cultura impressa, refletindo fortemente valores e hábitos da comunidade científica.<br>The research has as object the online Brazilian scientific journals on Communication that have presented the qualification Qualis A Nacional in 2008, that have full texts available online and the most recent edition in the same year. Such delimitation encompasses the ones that Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - Capes - evaluates as the best journals in this field: Comunicação, Mídia e Consumo; E-Compós; Eptic On Line, Galáxia; Intercom - Revista Brasileira de Ciências da Comunicação; Intexto; Revista FAMECOS; Revista Fronteiras; and Studium. The main objective of this work was the identification of tendencies in the editorial production of Brazilian online scientific journals in the area of Communication, considering especially the publications design. As specific objectives, we sought to understand and discuss the role of periodicals in the scope of formal science communication, taking as reference the scientific values and models; to identify the typical traits of scientific journals editorial production and how they relate to the design of these online periodicals; and to analyze the design of Brazilian scientific journals on Communication that are available online. The methodology used started with a bibliographic research that has established the theoretical fundaments about science and the field of Communication, particularly on scientific journals, editorial production and design. These publications analysis was organized in two stages. Both were structured with the elaboration of an analysis instrument created from the basis guideline for online scientific journals edition proposed by Gruszynski, Golin e Castedo (2008). The first stage focused the publications edition flow, from planning to circulation, which reflects in the final product available to readers. Besides qualitative data, specific examples that presented particularities in the periodicals were brought up. In the second stage, the focus was the identification of tendencies of using images as resource to knowledge construction in the publications. It was detected that although some changes indicate de influence of information technology in the production of the journals that compose the corpus of this research, mainly in the stage of circulation, such changes do not appear in all editorial practice stages. Writing and editing contents are still strongly based upon printed culture, heavily reflecting scientific community values and habits.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of academic digital libraries from a user-oriented approach. For this purpose, end-users were invited to describe how they perceive and make use of academic digital libraries. The study was focused on Subject Based Information Gateways (SBIGs) and Electronic Journals Services. Specifically, two gateways were examined: the Social Science Information Gateway (SOSIG) and the Art, Design, Architecture and Media (ADAM) gateway, and an electronic journals service: the Electronic Journals Service of the Library and Information Service (LIS), the University of Patras, Greece. The target group was the academic community: academic staff, research staff and students (undergraduate and postgraduate). The research methods used were online questionnaires, face-to-face interviews and transaction logs analysis (TLA). Concerning the perception of academic digital libraries, users were invited: to provide the advantages and/ or disadvantages of electronic information over print, to compare the electronic and print version of a piece of information, to evaluate services or features as very important, important, or not important and to specify factors that would discourage them from accessing a digital library. Regarding the use of academic digital libraries, users were asked to specify: how frequently they use digital libraries, what reasons they use digital libraries for, what place they gain access from, what their preferred method of searching for information is, what their preferred method of storing and reading electronic information is, whether they use the support services provided, what types of information they want to be provided with and what the role of communication in a digital library is. The study concluded that end-users seem to appreciate the implementation of academic digital libraries. However, there are still some disadvantages that might prevent them from accessing them. A typical user would access them from their office or home for a variety of reasons, such as: for writing up a term paper/project or a thesis/dissertation, writing up a paper for publication, e. g. journal article or conference/workshop paper, keeping up with progress in the relevant subject area, supporting a lecture or for personal reasons. Concerning their search behaviour, they would adopt a relatively unsophisticated, simplistic approach to searching and limited use of Boolean operators or other commands. Notwithstanding their low search abilities, they would be reluctant to consult the online help function that could support their searches. Sometimes, they prefer to ask a person rather than attempt to use the online help. When they have identified information and want to read it, they print it out. But, when they want to store information for the future, they either print it out, or save it on disk. This information might differ in its formats, including electronic journals, reports and papers, digitised books, scholarly mailing lists and archives and educational software. Finally, some users would appreciate the opportunity to communicate with information scientists, authors, or other users who share the same interests with them. Some others emphasized the importance of the communication between users and digital library systems.

Full textAbstract:
Archival collections have particular properties that make physical and intellectual access difficult for researchers. This generates feelings of uncertainty in the researchers leading to a large burden of enquiries to the archive, many routine. In this thesis I investigate the information seeking behaviours of archival researchers and the distinct properties of the archive first through the respective literatures and then through a series of five studies. Using systems, data and researchers from the National Archives, these studies examine the nature of the enquiries archives receive across many channels, the in-person interactions between archivists and researchers in the reading rooms and the unmediated search behaviours of archival researchers. I proceed to outline the barriers inhibiting research progress and the techniques or 'regulators' used by researchers to surmount or mitigate these barriers. In the final two studies I develop and attempt to validate an instrument for measuring uncertainty in information seeking in large digital collections. This three factor (disorientation, prospect and preparedness) scale of archival uncertainty allows improvements to online archival systems to be effectively tested before implementation. I also propose system properties which seem likely to assist researchers to make progress given these factors and which could be tested using this instrument.

Studiens syfte är främst att undersöka hur företaget Aller media och dess affärsmodeller påverkats av digitaliseringen. För att ta reda på detta har inledningsvis två kvalitativa intervjuer genomförts med två chefer på Aller media. Intervjuerna har sedan kompletterats med en webbenkät som besvarades av Aller medias anställda. Resultatet från datainsamlingsmetoderna visar att digitaliseringen haft en påtaglig påverkan på Aller media med både positiva och negativa konsekvenser. Sammantaget har Aller media anpassat sig väl sedan digitaliseringen och har med anammandet av nya digitala affärsmodeller lagt en bra grund för att vara fortsatt relevanta i en alltmer digitaliserad framtid.<br>Due to the obvious impact of digitalisation on the magazine industry in combination with lack of previous scientific studies on the subject - this study seeks to increase the knowledge andunderstanding of how the phenomenon of digitalisation has affected companies in the magazine industry. The purpose of the study is primarily to investigate how the company Aller media and its business models have been affected by digitalisation. To investigate this, two qualitative interviews were initially conducted with two managers at Aller media. The interviews were then supplemented with a web survey that were answered by Aller medias employees. The results from the data collection methods show that digitalisation has had a significant impact on Aller media with both positive and negative consequences. In total, Aller media has adapted well since digitalization and with the adoption of new digital business models the company has laid a good basis for remaining relevant in an increasingly digitalized future.

To complete my final creative project in seeking a Master of Arts degree in Telecommunication: Digital Storytelling through Ball State University, I have created a "pilot" online journal in Macrojnedia Flash 8 for the display of various methods of creative storytelling through the digital medium (currently located at http://rlhartleysmi.iweb.bsu.edu/cella.swf). Here, 1 review the concepts employed as well as my intentions in creating such a journal. I detail the interior workings of the journal and the categories of digital work represented. I outline requirements for future submissions and financial needs for initial creations and upkeep should the journal develop into a public enterprise. In this overview, I explain the rationale in exploring the creative arts through digital mediums and the importance of such concepts as collaboration and visual aesthetics when communicating through digital mediums.In preparation of this project, I performed an intense study of similar online journals in existence, their designs and usability as well as their subject matter. I also made use of social networking sites through which I created groups for the purpose of gathering and sharing additional research in the realms of digital poetry and publishing creative writing online. Also, I read scholarly research regarding computers as creative outlets, online publishing, and the aspects of interactivity as it comes to exist within the creative story in digital mediums. Brief analyses of several articles regarding interactivity within the experience of the story and within education and culture have been included here. I have concluded that we have naturally moved towards using technology as an artistic medium. My direction and passions have also been reaffirmed in that, through my created digital journal CEIIA, I am assured that the digital medium is the ideal union for the artistic narrative, both literal and visual.<br>Department of Telecommunications

1. INTRODUCTION: It is now over ten years since the first electronic journal experiments (e.g., EIES, BLEND) and the intervening years have not seen researchers being idle in this field. Indeed, while experiments have continued apace in an attempt to answer various questions such as the appropriateness of particular interfaces, electronic journals have continued to appear. The third edition of the ARL list (Okerson, 1993) contains 45 electronic journals while the first edition, only two years earlier (Okerson, 1991), listed only 27. This might suggest reasonably rapid growth but in actual fact represents a high rate of turnover also -- 16 of the original 27 do not appear in the latest list. We therefore start this chapter from the assumption that electronic journals will continue to be a feature of the scholarly communication process, although not all will survive.
Our second assumption arises from our experiences in the design, implementation and evaluation of information technology based systems in general, not just electronic journals. That is, we assume that in order to be acceptable, any system attempting to replace an existing technology must enable users to perform their necessary tasks in a way which is at least as easy as the existing system. The new system must offer at least as much (and preferably more) than the existing system, otherwise motivation to move from the old to the new is not high. In the present context, this means that the successful electronic journals will be those which not only support the scholarly communication process and all the other user requirements satisfied by paper based journals, but also support additional, enhanced facilities such as tailorable presentation formats, integrated interactive discussion about articles, flexible indexing and retrieval, hypertext linking and so forth.

produção de visualização de informação para meios digitais no âmbito do
jornalismo, com o olhar voltado para a retórica visual dessas imagens.
Relacionada com o advento das novas mídias - que trouxe a viabilidade de
representações visuais a partir de bases de dados dinâmicas - a pesquisa visa
contribuir para uma discussão ainda incipiente em nível global (e especialmente
nacional) dado o cenário tecnológico contemporâneo, caracterizado pela
multimidialidade e pela crescente popularidade de novos dispositivos
computacionais, interativos e portáteis. Para tal, empreende uma reflexão teórica
que passa pelo estabelecimento da sociedade de informação no último século;
apresenta a transição das velhas para as novas mídias, bem como seu impacto
no jornalismo e, por consequência, na visualização de informação produzida
para esses meios; e investiga ainda, o campo da imagem e da compreensão de
informação através da retórica visual. A partir dessa moldura teórica, esta
dissertação apresenta uma proposta de organização do uso da retórica visual de
forma consciente por designers, através de uma taxonomia baseada em estudos
anteriores. E finalmente, com base nessa proposta, analisa determinados casos
de uso, classificando visualizações de informação produzidas por alguns
veículos de mídia, do Brasil e do exterior.<br>This research investigates the Design domain especially on information
visualization (InfoVis) production to digital media through journalism, focusing on
images’ visual rhetoric. Concerned with the advent of new media - that brought
the viability of dynamic data onto visual representations – this study wants to
contribute to an initial global debate (and particularly in Brazil) in view of the
contemporary technologic scenario characterized by multimediality and growing
popularity of new interactive and portable computational devices. For that, it does
a theoretical study on information society; it presents the transition between old
and new media, as well as the impact on journalism and, in consequence, on
information visualization production by new media; and also, investigates the
image field and information comprehension through visual rhetoric. Within this
theoretical frame, the dissertation proposes a conscious and organized use of
visual rhetoric for designers, with a taxonomy based on earlier researches.
Finally, based on this proposal, this study analyses some usage cases,
classifying information visualization produced by some brazilian and international
media companies.

Thesis: S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Comparative Media Studies, 2015.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 159-172).<br>As the pace of publishing and the volume of content rapidly increase on the web, citizen journalism and data journalism have threatened the traditional role of institutional newsmaking. Legacy publishers, as well as digital-native outlets and aggregators, are beginning to adapt to this new news landscape, in part by drawing newfound value from archival stories and reusing older works. However, this trend's potential remains limited by technical challenges and institutional inertia. In this thesis I propose a framework for considering the news institution of the digital era as a linked archive: equal parts news provider and information portal, the linked archive places historical context on the same footing as new content, and emphasizes the journalist's role as news explainer and verifier. Informed by a theoretical, historical, and technical understanding of the web's structural affordances and limitations, and especially by the untapped networking power of the hyperlink, I suggest how publishers can offer an archive-oriented model of structured, sustainable, and scalable journalism. I draw from concepts and lessons learned in library and computer science, such as link analysis, network theory, and polyhierarchy, to offer an archivally-focused journalistic model that can save time for reporters and improve the research and reading process for journalists and audiences alike.

Internet va arribar a les redaccions dels diaris de tot el món en 1997 i partir d'aquell moment tot va canvir. El paradigma digital va ser l'inici d'una transformació que, encara avui dia, 23 anys després, milers de periodistes tracten entendre i desxifrar. El nou escenari continua creant dubtes entre els professionals de la informació i moltes empreses continuen lluitant per a aconseguir l'anhelada convergència -la fusió de les redaccions-, i acabar per entendre les claus que mouen el nou periodisme que emergeix de la transformació tecnològica, com han de ser les noves narratives, com han de tractar als seus lectors i com poden tornar a ser empreses rendibles.
Ara, quan milers de diaris han desaparegut per l'impacte comercial invers causat per la digitalització i el mercat de la comunicació està en plena transformació, són molts els mitjans que lluiten per la seva supervivència i milers i miers de periodistes els que busquen la fórmula adequada per a compaginar les edicions impreses i les digitals i assentar les bases per a fer de les seves empreses companyies sostenibles, creïbles, ben informades i dotades amb la tecnologia més adequada.
Periodistes i analistes de diferents continents, molts d'ells representants dels millors diaris del planeta i generadors de productes periodístics amb el major nivell d'exigència del món, expliquen les seves experiències en aquest estudi, l'objectiu del qual no és un altre que el de contribuir a la complexa tasca d'agilitar la fusió sobre la base d'entendre la digitalització i quines eines i actituds poden servir als professionals per a dur a terme un millor reporterisme.<br>Internet llegó a las redacciones de los diarios de todo el mundo en 1997 y partir de aquel momento todo cambió.

Now, when thousands of newspapers have disappeared due to the reverse commercial impact caused by digitization and the communication market is in full transformation, there are many media outlets that are fighting for their survival and thousands and thousands of journalists who are looking for the right formula to combine the printed and digital editions and lay the foundations to make your companies sustainable, credible, well-informed and equipped with the most appropriate technology.
Journalists and analysts from different continents, many of them representatives of the best newspapers on the planet and generators of journalistic products with the highest level of demand in the world, explain their experiences in this study, whose objective is none other than to contribute to the complex task of speeding up the merger based on understanding digitization and what tools and attitudes can be used by professionals to carry out better reporting.

Full textAbstract:
Preserving dynamic, born-digital data journalism requires more than web scraping, as news stories today are built from much more than just text and images. Data journalism projects like news applications, or “news apps,” are composed of a database, the data in the database, the graphical interface that appears in the browser, accompanying text, and often images, videos, audio, and other multimedia components. Existing Internet archiving methods are not sufficient to save these data journalism projects for the future.
This paper summarizes the context and history of news apps archiving, and describes the development of a survey of news applications. This survey will be used to create a working list of news organizations that are producing data journalism in the United States and a better sense of how and where these projects are currently being stored. The results of the survey will inform recommendations and processes for archiving dynamic data journalism.

This thesis is an investigation that the main objective is to study proximity digital media in Catalonia. The theoretical framework establishes the foundations on which stands the sector: proximity communication and digital journalism (or cyberjournalism). The phenomenon of proximity digital media in Catalonia is analysed through the study of a paradigmatic case, which is the Group Nació Digital (GND). It was chosen for this research because it is considered a success model for the expansion of recent years, audience figures reached and a solvent business model. It has been studied the journalism and business model with a special attention to their territorial editions. Mainly it is used qualitative methodology that includes case of study and in-depth and semi-structured interviews to the management team of the Group and the responsibles for proximity digital media. Moreover a quantitative technique, content analysis, is also used to extend the study. The main conclusion is that the key to success has been the model of proximity information, which allowed the expansion and growth of the audience, and the technology, which is in constant innovation and has an own management system.<br>Aquesta tesi doctoral és una investigació que té com a objectiu estudiar els mitjans digitals de proximitat a Catalunya. En el marc teòric, s’estableixen els fonaments sobre els quals s’erigeix aquest sector: la comunicació de proximitat i el ciberperiodisme. El fenomen dels mitjans digitals de proximitat a Catalunya s’analitza a través de l’estudi d’un cas paradigmàtic, el del Grup Nació Digital (GND). De Nació Digital se n’ha estudiat el model periodístic i el de negoci fent especial atenció a les seves edicions territorials. Principalment s’ha utilitzat la metodologia qualitativa amb les tècniques de l’estudi de cas i les entrevistes en profunditat i semiestructurades a l’equip directiu del Grup, així com als responsables dels mitjans digitals de proximitat. Aquesta metodologia s’ha combinat amb la quantitativa a través de l’anàlisi de contingut. La principal conclusió és que les claus de l’èxit han estat el model d’informació de proximitat, que ha permès l’expansió i creixement de l’audiència, i la tecnologia, amb una innovació constant i un sistema de gestió propi.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores how Chinese digital journalism transformation in the context of media convergence. The research asks the following questions: How is the Chinese journalism transforming according to the changes of journalism production and users’ consumption in the digital era? Is there any difference between traditional journalism and digital journalism considering the journalistic quality in China? How does digital journalism influence the work situation of Chinese journalists? The research was conducted by mix qualitative and quantitative design and it is based on 8 in-depth interviews with Chinese journalists and an online questionnaire (n=300) on consumers. By conducting these two different kinds of empirical data, it could present the reaction of digital journalism transformation from both journalists and users. Based on the theoretical framework of media convergence and journalistic quality, the analysis was carried out on three levels: A) Chinese journalism transformation during the media convergence; B) Journalistic quality within the Chinese journalism industry; C) The impact of digital journalism on journalists work situation. The main results showed that digital transformation is under the media convergence trend in China. From Chinese users’ side, the consumption of digital journalism production is accessible and traditional journalism was more trustworthy than digital journalism. From Chinese journalists’ side, the journalistic production in traditional journalism has the journalistic quality which is more accurate and authoritative. In the digital era, the journalists working life were busy and the new media workers were more stressed than journalists in traditional media organizations.

Previous issue date: 2007<br>Esta tese tem como preocupação central identificar e compreender os usos e as transformações que a crescente utilização de bases de dados está fazendo emergir para o jornalismo digital, modalidade em desenvolvimento há mais de uma década. No argumento endereçado, as bases de dados são entendidas como um aspecto-chave, inspirando a designação de um paradigma numa etapa de transição entre a terceira geração e uma quarta fase de evolução para o jornalismo digital, a saber: o Jornalismo Digital em Base de Dados (JDBD), conformado segundo funcionalidades e categorias específicas. Reconhecemos, em paralelo, o seu potencial para fazer emergir uma nova metáfora para a apresentação dos conteúdos jornalísticos. A proposição de tal modelo é justificada, sobretudo, em função da complexificação dos processos para a implementação de produtos jornalísticos digitais que vem sendo processada nos últimos anos. Para a cartografia do objeto, elegemos um corpus empírico constituído por 22 casos, que ilustram e fundamentam as argumentações. Aliado ao método do estudo de caso, trabalhamos também dentro da perspectiva do método histórico, já que buscamos analisar o emprego de bases de dados no jornalismo através do tempo, para compreender a evolução do uso desta tecnologia até o momento atual. Assim, a tese explora o momento atual, indicando rupturas, identificando remediações, enxergando potencialidades, ao mesmo tempo em que se conecta com o processo histórico de emprego das bases de dados no jornalismo, O passado ajuda a melhor compreender o presente, a sua complexidade, e permite apontar para o futuro.<br>Salvador

Full textAbstract:
Today�s globalized network communication initiates new interactive formats, transforming not only the dissemination, but - increasingly - the production of news. The �one-way� flow of news from a news outlet to the audience has been replaced by a network structure. Following Castells� concept of the �network� (1996) as the central model of information structures, I perpetuate this paradigmatic shift and suggest that networks also transform the professional journalism sphere in many world regions. A revised sphere of journalism is taking shape in which an increasingly global flow of news is evolving and a multiple platform structure of journalism is taking shape in which boundaries between traditional media outlets of print, radio, and television and between national and �foreign� journalism are blurring. Furthermore, I argue that a globalized journalistic network sphere is emerging which involves �traditional� journalistic outlets and bloggers, media activists, so-called citizen journalists, or user-generated content providers alike. These new journalistic spheres of connectivity establish new (and continuous) links between journalists, their sources as well as their audiences. This fundamental change creates new professional levels of connectivity on one hand and on the other, has severe strategic and organizational implications for the management of print, broadcast and online news outlets.
Within this new �network� sphere of journalistic practice, the roles of journalistic outlets change. This work suggests a framework that helps to understand journalistic organization today, with innovative work structures based on digital technologies transforming the character and in effect substituting the model of �top-down� journalism models by a model that is far more complicated. I argue that within an evolving global news sphere, information flows are multidirectional. Decentralization and non-linearity become the key parameters defining news flows at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The character of this network in the journalism sphere is transnational, crossmedia, and cross professions. Based on results of thirteen qualitative interviews with media practitioners in Germany, the US and the UK, I argue that a new geography of journalism is taking shape in which journalistic outlets are being transformed into nodes.
These nodes are arranged in a dense net of information gathers, producers and disseminators and the interactive connections among them constitute what I want to call network journalism.

Full textAbstract:
The term "incunabula" refers to the transition period that took place 50 years after Johannes Gutenberg introduced his printing press to the publishing world (1455 to 1505). In this thesis, I compare the first incunabula to the current "Digital Incunabula," which I believe is the 50-year transition underway as we assimilate traditional storytelling practices to a digital platform (1996 to 2046). To illustrate this, I review the histories of the literal age, the secondary orality and the digital orality before making some observations about our transition into multimedia storytelling. The paper reviews several key experiments in multimedia storytelling produced by The New York Times, The Rocky Mountain News and The Guardian among others. The paper reviews the influences of consumer electronic devices including tablet computers, augmented reality, virtual reality and artificial intelligence. It also reflects upon nonfiction narrative forms for written and oral communication media. The paper also considers aspects of copyright policy, public media policy and the influences of the "digital disruption." The paper concludes with some observations about the future of long-form, nonfiction storytelling as we move through the 21st century.

Full textAbstract:
Trotz großer Dokumentmengen für datenbankübergreifende Literaturrecherchen erwarten akademische Nutzer einen möglichst hohen Anteil an relevanten und qualitativen Dokumenten in den Trefferergebnissen. Insbesondere die Reihenfolge und Struktur der gelisteten Ergebnisse (Ranking) spielt, neben dem direkten Volltextzugriff auf die Dokumente, inzwischen eine entscheidende Rolle beim Design von Suchsystemen. Nutzer erwarten weiterhin flexible Informationssysteme, die es unter anderem zulassen, Einfluss auf das Ranking der Dokumente zu nehmen bzw. alternative Rankingverfahren zu verwenden. In dieser Arbeit werden zwei Mehrwertverfahren für Suchsysteme vorgestellt, die die typischen Probleme bei der Recherche nach wissenschaftlicher Literatur behandeln und damit die Recherchesituation messbar verbessern können. Die beiden Mehrwertdienste semantische Heterogenitätsbehandlung am Beispiel Crosskonkordanzen und Re-Ranking auf Basis von Bradfordizing, die in unterschiedlichen Phasen der Suche zum Einsatz kommen, werden hier ausführlich beschrieben und im empirischen Teil der Arbeit bzgl. der Effektivität für typische fachbezogene Recherchen evaluiert. Vorrangiges Ziel der Promotion ist es, zu untersuchen, ob das hier vorgestellte alternative Re-Rankingverfahren Bradfordizing im Anwendungsbereich bibliographischer Datenbanken zum einen operabel ist und zum anderen voraussichtlich gewinnbringend in Informationssystemen eingesetzt und dem Nutzer angeboten werden kann. Für die Tests wurden Fragestellungen und Daten aus zwei Evaluationsprojekten (CLEF und KoMoHe) verwendet. Die intellektuell bewerteten Dokumente stammen aus insgesamt sieben wissenschaftlichen Fachdatenbanken der Fächer Sozialwissenschaften, Politikwissenschaft, Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Psychologie und Medizin. Die Evaluation der Crosskonkordanzen (insgesamt 82 Fragestellungen) zeigt, dass sich die Retrievalergebnisse signifikant für alle Crosskonkordanzen verbessern; es zeigt sich zudem, dass interdisziplinäre Crosskonkordanzen den stärksten (positiven) Effekt auf die Suchergebnisse haben. Die Evaluation des Re-Ranking nach Bradfordizing (insgesamt 164 Fragestellungen) zeigt, dass die Dokumente der Kernzone (Kernzeitschriften) für die meisten Testreihen eine signifikant höhere Precision als Dokumente der Zone 2 und Zone 3 (Peripheriezeitschriften) ergeben. Sowohl für Zeitschriften als auch für Monographien kann dieser Relevanzvorteil nach Bradfordizing auf einer sehr breiten Basis von Themen und Fragestellungen an zwei unabhängigen Dokumentkorpora empirisch nachgewiesen werden.<br>In spite of huge document sets for cross-database literature searches, academic users expect a high ratio of relevant and qualitative documents in result sets. It is particularly the order and structure of the listed results (ranking) that play an important role when designing search systems alongside the direct full text access for documents. Users also expect flexible information systems which allow influencing the ranking of documents and application of alternative ranking techniques. This thesis proposes two value-added approaches for search systems which treat typical problems in searching scientific literature and seek to improve the retrieval situation on a measurable level. The two value-added services, semantic treatment of heterogeneity (the example of cross-concordances) and re-ranking on Bradfordizing, which are applied in different search phases, are described in detail and their effectiveness in typical subject-specific searches is evaluated in the empirical part of the thesis. The preeminent goal of the thesis is to study if the proposed, alternative re-ranking approach Bradfordizing is operable in the domain of bibliographic databases, and if the approach is profitable, i.e. serves as a value added, for users in information systems. We used topics and data from two evaluation projects (CLEF and KoMoHe) for the tests. The intellectually assessed documents come from seven academic abstracting and indexing databases representing social science, political science, economics, psychology and medicine. The evaluation of the cross-concordances (82 topics altogether) shows that the retrieval results improve significantly for all cross-concordances, indicating that interdisciplinary cross-concordances have the strongest (positive) effect on the search results. The evaluation of Bradfordizing re-ranking (164 topics altogether) shows that core zone (core journals) documents display significantly higher precision than was seen for documents in zone 2 and zone 3 (periphery journals) for most test series. This post-Bradfordizing relevance advantage can be demonstrated empirically across a very broad basis of topics and two independent document corpora as well for journals and monographs.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to examine young peoples' perception of their media criticial competence in relation to digital news. The study is based on quantitative research interviews with young people (15-17 years) and qualitative interviews with people in the same age group as well as teachers and international media professionals.This study's theoretical point of departure is McQuail´s observation that peoples' values and views to a great extent are influenced by the media. Another source of theoretical inspiration was Haberman's ideas about how a diversity of views and arguments increase the citizens' ability to reflect critically on social developments - maybe even more so than in societies with independent media and "neutral" news.The study shows that the young generation of web based news consumers assumes that it is very important to be an aware and critical consumer but also that they do not feel sufficiently equipped with the right tools required to understand the long-term impact and effect of the media reporting online. Young people basically seemed to acquire their knowledge about media by doing and learning on their own. Surprisingly, according to the young people that were interviewed for this project, the schools seemed to play a secondary role in the development of their media critical capacity. Family and friends also played a limited role in this context.

Using case-study research, it profiles the major diasporan online citizen media outlets and highlights instances where these geographically distant citizen media sites shaped and influenced both the national politics and policies of the homeland and the media practices of the domestic media formation.
The study makes the case that while it is customary in the scholarship on sovereignty, state-civil society relations, and diaspora studies to emphasize domination and one-dimensionality in cultural flows, the participation of members of the Nigerian digital diaspora in the politics and discourses of their homeland, from their exilic locations in the West through the instrumentality of online citizen media, illustrates that citizens, especially in the age of the Internet, are not mere powerless subjects and receivers of informational flows from the institutions of the state and corporate mass media but can be active consumers and producers of informational resources and even purveyors of political power in ways that amply exemplify trans-local reciprocality.
It also argues that the Nigerian diaspora media might very well be a prototype of an evolving, Internet-enabled, trans-local, and mutual informational and cultural exchange between the educated deterritorialized ethnoscapes of peripheral nations whose exile in the West endues them with symbolic and cultural capital and the private institutions and governments of their homelands. The study recommends a comparative study of the online citizen journalism of Third World virtual diasporas in the West.

Full textAbstract:
If we consider a discipline as a historical product of the dynamics that exist between institutions, scientific communities and their practices (Danziger, 1995), scientific production, as a product of these dynamics, can be considered crucial to outline its history. Studying the history of a discipline starting from its scientific production means understanding how it is built around a specific community, since it contains its theories, methods and fields of application (Trevisani & Tuzzi, 2015, 2018). The aim of the present dissertation is to offer a representation of the history of social psychology in two communities or centres (cf. Danziger, 1996), European and North American, which are historically linked and at the core of debated issues in the field. Thus, we started from the study of the temporal evolution of contents in two central journals in their respective contexts: European Journal of Social Psychology and Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. In particular, we intend: 1) to offer a reflection on the contribution of the methods used to portray a history of a discipline, 2) to identify the direction of publications by highlighting hegemonic or marginal perspectives and methods and 3) to contribute to a reflection on the discipline itself. Since these journals convey the contents of the articles through keywords, all the titles and the abstracts of the two journals have been collected from their foundation (1971 and 1965 respectively) until the last issue of 2016. By means of a (lexical) correspondence analysis (SPAD software), the existence of a latent temporal pattern in keywords' occurrences has been explored. An overview of the words that characterised each year in each corpus is presented to observe and compare debated themes, processes, and methods covered by the two journals throughout the years. Furthermore, the main debated topics (that are clusters of words with a common meaning) by the journals and their temporal trajectories have been identified and compared by means of Reinert's method (1986) (IRaMuTeQ and R software) and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (Blei, Ng, & Jordan, 2003) (implemented in the R environment). The individual trajectories of the keywords were then tracked and grouped together based on their temporal pattern (Functional Data Analysis and Curve Clustering) in order to identify their "life cycle" (Trevisani & Tuzzi, 2015; 2018). Finally, some interviews with social psychologists were carried out to discuss some of the outcomes of the analyses, they were also invited to highlight methods and perspectives that might remain marginal to the field and to discuss on the overall history and development of the discipline. The results from all the moments of data collection and analysis were discussed a) by making a comparison between the journals and the literature, b) with respect to the methods used and c) reflecting on some questions posed in the beginning of this project - or that have emerged during the course of the work -considered relevant to fully explore the influence the history of the discipline to the field of Social Psychology.<br>Se si considera una disciplina come un prodotto storico delle dinamiche che intercorrono tra istituzioni, comunità scientifiche e le loro pratiche (Danziger, 1995), la produzione scientifica, quale prodotto di queste dinamiche, può essere considerata cruciale per delinearne la storia. Studiare la storia di una disciplina a partire dalla sua produzione scientifica significa cogliere come questa viene costruita attorno a una determinata comunità , dal momento che ne contiene teorie, metodi e ambiti applicativi (Trevisani & Tuzzi, 2015; 2018). L'obiettivo della presente dissertazione è offrire una rappresentazione della storia della psicologia sociale in due comunità o centri (cfr. Danziger, 1996), europeo e nord-americano, storicamente legati e fulcro di questioni dibattute. Per farlo si è partiti dallo studio dell'evoluzione temporale dei contenuti di due riviste centrali nei rispettivi contesti: European Journal of Social Psychology e Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. In particolare si intende: 1) offrire una riflessione sul contributo dei metodi usati nel tracciare la storia di una disciplina, 2) individuare la direzione delle pubblicazioni tra prospettive e metodi egemoni e marginali e 3) contribuire a una riflessione sulla disciplina stessa. Dal momento che veicolano attraverso parole chiave i contenuti degli articoli, sono stati raccolti tutti i titoli e gli abstract delle due riviste dalla loro fondazione (rispettivamente 1971 e 1965) fino all'ultimo numero del 2016. Per mezzo dell'analisi delle corrispondenze lessicali (software SPAD), è stata esplorata la presenza di un andamento temporale latente nelle occorrenze delle parole chiave. È stata così proposta una panoramica dei contenuti principali che hanno caratterizzato ogni anno in ciascun corpus al fine di osservare e confrontare temi, processi e metodi discussi e trattati dalle due riviste. Inoltre, sono stati individuati e confrontati i principali argomenti (intesi come gruppi di parole a cui sottostà un significato comune) trattati dalle riviste e le loro traiettorie temporali per mezzo del metodo Reinert (1986) (software IRaMuTeQ e R) e Latent Dirichlet Allocation (Blei, Ng, & Jordan, 2003) (implementata in ambiente R). In seguito sono state tracciate le singole traiettorie delle parole chiave e sono state accomunate in cluster in base al loro andamento temporale (Functional Data Analysis e Curve Clustering) al fine di individuarne il "ciclo di vita" (Trevisani & Tuzzi, 2015; 2018). Infine sono state svolte alcune interviste a psicologi sociali per discutere con loro alcuni dei risultati delle analisi delle riviste e mettere in luce metodi e prospettive che potrebbero rimanere marginali nel campo e discutere sulla storia e lo sviluppo della disciplina. I risultati, nel complesso, sono stati discussi a) ponendo in essere un confronto tra le riviste e con la letteratura, b) riflettendo sui metodi utilizzati e c) a partire da alcuni questioni poste in principio - o emerse in corso d'opera - come salienti.

Esta tese é um estudo teórico sobre como o formato serve de estrutura para as linguagens digitais, que são escritas com o signo informático. Usamos as ferramentas teóricas da Semiótica da Cultura para explorar esta hipótese com os textos digitais de informação jornalística. A noção do design é central para a compreensão dos nossos argumentos, no sentido de que o design é que torna a operação da escrita digital possível. Isso ocorre pela sua capacidade em atribuir modelos para as diversas ordens de códigos envolvidos no processamento informático de síntese. Temos a perspectiva de que o Jornalismo Digital de Bases de Dados (JDBD) é um texto da cultura que se atualiza tendo como princípios a representação numérica, modularidade, automatização, variabilidade e transcodificação. Seu limite são os bits, ou números. Discutimos também a noção de delimitação do texto jornalístico, considerada necessária em tempos de dúvidas sobre o campo. Fazemos um resgate sobre a importância da noção de formato para o campo do jornalismo e fundamentamos que as narrativas digitais, elaboradas com as linguagens digitais, se apresentam a nós como formatos. Para nos apropriarmos da teoria e aplicarmos os conceitos na prática, sugerimos duas matrizes para a geração de formatos jornalísticos. Tal condição de escrita gera novas condições práticas para o ensino e a sobrevivência do jornalismo. Finalmente, buscamos nesta pesquisa uma visão estrutural, e não circunstancial, sobre as linguagens, as narrativas e a escrita digitais.<br>This thesis is a theoretical study on how the format structures the digital languages, which are written with the informatics sign. We used the theoretical tools of the Semiotics of Culture to explore this hypothesis with the digital text of journalistic information. The notion of design is central to the comprehension of our arguments, in the sense that the design is what makes the operation of digital writing possible. This is due to its ability to assign models to the different sort of codes involved in the informatic processing of synthesis. We have the prospect that the Database Digital Journalism (DBDJ) is a text of culture that is updated having as principles the numerical representation, the modularity, the automatization, the variability and the transcoding. Its limits are the bits or numbers. We also discuss the notion of delimitation of the journalistic text, considered necessary in times of doubt about the field. We do a rescue on the importance of the concept of format to the field of journalism and we support that digital narratives, developed with the digital languages, are presented to us as formats. In order to appropriate the theory and apply the concepts in practice, we suggest two sources for the generation of journalistic formats. Such writing condition generates new conditions for teaching practices and the survival of journalism. Finally, we aim in this research a structural, not circumstantial, view about the languages, the narratives and the digital writing.

Full textAbstract:
Collegiate newsrooms serve two functions: to provide news and information to their campuses and to provide hands-on career preparation for student journalists. Student media professionals face having to do the latter in a way that keeps up with changing demands on entry-level employees, influenced by evolving technology and role consolidation within professional media. This study provides perspective from recent graduates with student media experience on the skills they felt most confident in upon graduating, where they gained those skills, and how they feel their student media experiences prepared them for the workplace. Using Everett Rogers’ theory of innovation diffusion to frame the issue, results show that student media professionals must recognize their roles as the change agent in shaping and pushing the opportunities to develop digital skills expected of entry-level journalists.

Compreender como as histórias são contadas nas reportagens hipermídia, a partir da Teoria do Hipertexto, a fim de elaborar elementos que apontem para as especificidades deste gênero no espaço de escrita digital é o objetivo principal desta tese. Para tanto refletimos sobre as características do hipertexto e sugerimos adequações ao campo do jornalismo. Definimos também o termo hipermídia como uma forma de mídia, resultante da remediação de todas as formas de mídia, de linguagem e de modos expressivos midiáticos que a antecederam. Sobre o gênero reportagem, discutimos a reportagem hipermídia e identificamos os recursos que potencializam a contextualização das histórias. A partir dessas discussões teóricas elaboramos nossa matriz metodológica que alia as especificidades do hipertexto jornalístico (a tipologia dos links, a multivocalidade e a estrutura de navegação) e as questões pertinentes às reportagens hipermídia, as quais denominamos de eixos estruturantes (camadas informativas, modalidades comunicativas e variantes contextuais). A análise foi realizada em três reportagens hipermídia: Snow Fall: The Avalanche at Tunnel Creek – The New York Times (Estados Unidos), Filhos da Guerra: Quem é o filho que António deixou na guerra – Público (Portugal) e Crise da água: Líquido e Incerto – Folha de S. Paulo (Brasil). Os resultados nos apontam para padrões de recorrência nas reportagens hipermídia que indicam um perfil próprio desse gênero no espaço de escrita digital. Destacamos alguns traços desse perfil: a reportagem hipermídia utiliza links narrativos para complementar, particularizar, ilustrar e detalhar as informações; emprega múltiplas vozes; a participação do leitor é restrita; a estrutura de navegação é diversificada; a estrutura da reportagem conta com duas camadas informativas; as modalidades comunicativas estão integradas entre si; o texto é a peça-chave que conduz a história; a contextualização das histórias ocorre por meio da humanização dos relatos, de bases de dados, de recursos imersivos e das histórias em formato longo.<br>The main goal of this thesis is to understand how stories are being told in hypermedia reporting, considering Hypertext as theoretical framework, in order to elaborate features that indicates the specificities of this genre in digital writing space. For this purpose, we consider hypertext characteristics in order to suggest adjustments to journalism field. We also define hypermedia as a new media format, resulting from the remediation of all types of media, language and expressive mediatic modes that preceeded it. When it comes to reporting as a genre, we discuss the hypermedia reporting and identify the resources that strengthen stories contextualization. From these theoretical discussions, we elaborate our methodological framework that combines the specificities of journalistic hypertext (the typology of links, the multivocality and the navigation structure) and the pertinent issues to hypermedia reports, which we denominate the structuring axes (informative layers, communicative modalities and contextual variants). We select as an analysis sample three hypermedia reports: Snow Fall: The Avalanche at Tunnel Creek – The New York Times (United States), Filhos da Guerra: Quem é o filho que António deixou na guerra – Público (Portugal) and Crise da água: Líquido e Incerto – Folha de S. Paulo (Brazil). The study findings lead us to identify a standard in hypermedia reports which compose a profile of its own kind in the digital writing field. We highlighted some features of this profile: the hypermedia report uses narrative links as complement, to particularize, to illustrate and to detail the information; it employs multiple voices; it uses restrict reader participation; it uses a diverse navigation structure; it's structure has two informative layers. We also find that the communicative modalities are integrated with each other; the text is the key element that conducts the story; the story contextualization occurs using resources such as personification, databases, immersive language and long-form stories.

Full textAbstract:
<p> This dissertation analyses how a youth-led, technologically driven social movement led a collective political struggle for change in Egypt that revolved around the legitimacy of the existing system and demanded rights to expression and participation. It seeks to understand the political impact of new ICTs, namely blogs and networked social media, in authoritarian contexts through the use of Egypt as a case study and by employing new methods of ethnographic inquiry that link the online and the off-line in recognition that they are mutually constituted. </p><p> I propose that focusing on the micropolitics of practices and discourse, with due consideration of structural and institutional dynamics, reveals how epistemological and ontological changes take place when a distributional shift in the primary modes of communication occurs, and thus helps us better understand how ICTs are implicated in processes of political change. </p><p> I argue that Egypt's young cyberactivists, and particularly citizen journalists, radically shifted the informational status quo by witnessing, putting on record and imbuing political meaning to symbolic struggles to define quotidian struggles against social injustice, harassment and censorship as part of a broader movement for political reform. A central contention in this dissertation, therefore, is that blogging and social media reconfigure the potentiality for expression and participation, but that it is the particular concatenations of technologically-inflected repertoires of contention that transform potentiality into actuality. This analysis reveals the mechanisms by which the potentiality of the Internet and social media is transformed into concrete instantiations of political struggle through activism, news making practices, and collective action. Throughout the dissertation I analyze specific episodes of contention to explain how ICTs facilitated collective identity formation, organization, mobilization and advocacy, with far fewer organizational and logistical barriers, rendering the dynamics of contentious politics in this case distinctive from other revolutionary periods. This new youth movement created innovative repertoires of contention, which they developed and adapted very quickly, constrained less by structural factors such as economics and distance, which the properties of ICTs help overcome, than they would have been in the past. </p><p> I argue that it is not sufficient to explore only moments of collective action, because this does not explain how the "maker of claims" came to identify themselves as such, nor how they build consensus around their claims. This is of particular interest in the new communications environment of the post-millennial period, and therefore I also focus on the phenomenological lifeworlds of these cyberactivists to show how networked social media gave opposition and subaltern groups, such as liberal secularists or the Muslim Brotherhood, new tools for individual and collective identity creation and enabled freedom of expression and opinion. </p><p> The empirical focus of the article is Egypt but I argue that the mechanisms and dynamics identified have a much wider domain of application. I propose several new mechanisms including <i>asabiyah</i>, <i>ijma' </i>, and <i>isnad</i> to explain movement dynamics and to account for the technological aspect of cyberactivists' repertoires of contention, and propose revising the concept of amplification and certification to account for the fact that the algorithmic properties of ICTs now play a role in contentious repertoires.</p>

Ao longo dos tempos, a produção de notícias e reportagens precisou se adaptar à modernização do jornal impresso, ao surgimento do rádio, da televisão, mais recentemente, à internet e, por último (por enquanto), aos dispositivos móveis digitais como smartphones e tablets. Cada um desses períodos foi marcado por novos formatos de produzir, distribuir e consumir jornalismo. Dentro deste caminho evolutivo está o objeto de pesquisa desta tese que envolve a busca por formatos narrativos que se adaptem de forma mais personalizada aos dispositivos móveis digitais, às suas características específicas e potencialidades e, ainda, ao jornalismo que se reconfigura a partir das transformações da contemporaneidade. A massiva adoção dos dispositivos móveis digitais entre o público e a evolução tecnológica criam possibilidades de formatação e distribuição jornalísticas mais interativas e ubíquas se comparadas ao que havia antes. Enquanto novos meios de comunicação, os smartphones oferecem qualidades importantes para a redefinição do consumo de informação na atualidade, entre elas estão a portabilidade, a ubiquidade e a sensibilidade ao contexto do usuário. A partir dessa compreensão, entendemos, neste trabalho, que o jornalismo e sua conceituação precisam acompanhar esse processo evolutivo, o que nos leva à adoção do conceito de jornalismo ubíquo e também à elaboração de categorias constituintes desse conceito. Em seguimento a isto, também adotamos o conceito de narrativa sistêmica para fazer parte de nossa compreensão do formato atual dos conteúdos. Esses dois conceitos se unem a uma fundamentação complementar ligada ao design de navegação e interface, à experiência do usuário e à usabilidade para investigar as características específicas do jornalismo ubíquo e do seu formato, e em que patamar está sua adoção pelos aplicativos para smartphones dos jornais The New York Times, The Guardian, El País e O Estado de S. Paulo. Ao final, expomos o momento atual desses produtos jornalísticos e suas diferentes soluções de apresentação para as potencialidades existentes a partir do desenvolvimento tecnológico.<br>Over the years, the news production has had to adapt itself to the modernization of the printed newspaper, to the emergence of radio, television, more recently to the internet, and finally (for now) to digital mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Each of these periods was marked by new formats for producing, distributing and consuming journalism. Within this evolutionary path is located the research object of this thesis that involves the search for narrative formats that adapt in a more personalized way to the digital mobile devices, their specific characteristics and potentialities and also to the journalism that is reconfigured from the transformations of the contemporaneity. The massive adoption of digital mobile devices within the public and the technological evolution create more interactive and ubiquitous possibilities of formatting and distributing journalistic media than in the past. As a new media, smartphones offer important qualities for today\'s information consumption redefinition, among which are portability, ubiquity, and user context sensitivity. From this understanding, we assume in this work that journalism and its conception need to accompany this evolutionary process, which leads us to adopt the concept of ubiquitous journalism and also to the elaboration of constituent categories of this concept. Following this, we also adopt the concept of systemic narrative to be part of our understanding of the current format of the contents. These two concepts are coupled with a complementary basis linked to navigation and interface design, user experience, and usability to investigate the specific characteristics of ubiquitous journalism and its format, and at what level it is adopted by the smartphone applications of the newspapers The New York Times, The Guardian, El País and O Estado de S. Paulo. At the end, we present the current moment of these journalistic products and their different solutions of presentation to the potentialities emerged from the technological development.

Journalists rely on image and video verification to support their investigations and often utilize open source tools to verify user generated content, but current practice requires experts be involved in every step of the process. Additionally, lacking custom tools to support verification efforts, experts are often limited to the utility of existing, openly available tools, which may or may not support the interactions and information gathering they require. We aim to support the process of geolocating images and videos through crowdsourcing. By enabling crowd workers to participate in the geolocation process, we can provide investigative journalists with efficient and complete verification of image locations. Parallelizing searching speeds up the verification process as well as provides a more extensive search, all while allowing the expert to follow up on other leads or investigative work. We produced a software prototype called GroundTruth which enables crowd workers to support investigative journalists in the geolocation of visual media quickly and accurately. Additionally, this work contributes experimental results demonstrating how the crowd can be utilized to support complex sensemaking tasks.<br>Master of Science

Previous issue date: 2018-04-02<br>Nenhuma<br>O presente trabalho tem como proposta estudar como ocorrem os vínculos entre leitores e um jornal, o Diário Popular, localizado no interior do Rio Grande do Sul, na cidade de Pelotas e que abrange uma mesma região, a zona Sul do estado, através da página do veículo no Facebook. Investigamos de que forma esses leitores significam os acontecimentos locais, a partir de interação com o jornal. Para isso, levamos em conta os processos de jornalismo em redes digitais e estudamos questões pertinentes à proximidade e territorialidade, além de acontecimento, redes sociais digitais e interação. Utilizamos como principais metodologias a análise de construção de sentidos em redes digitais e entrevista. Pudemos identificar a partir do nosso recorte, que existem diferentes tipos de interação entre leitores e jornal, as quais categorizamos como afetação – argumento, afetação – passionalidade, prestimosidade e sociabilidade e que, o leitor, a partir de características de proximidade territoriais, identifica-se com os acontecimentos locais e regionais.<br>The present study aims to verify the links between readers and a newspaper. The newspaper studied was Diário Popular, which is located in the country side of Rio Grande do Sul, in the city of Pelotas. The newspaper cover, the southern part of the state, through the Facebook’s page. We investigated how these readers signify local events, from the interaction with the newspaper. For this, we considerated the processes of journalism in digital networks and we study issues related to proximity and territoriality, as well as events, digital social networks and interaction. The methodology used was the analysis of sense construction in digital networks and interview. From our clipping, we identified that there are different types of interaction between readers and newspapers, categorized as affectation - argument, affectation - passion, helpfulness and sociability. Which the readers, based on characteristics of territorial proximity, find themselves in local and regional events.

El presente trabajo de investigación se realiza en momentos en que el periodismo tradicional padece en el mundo y su versión digital continúa aún en búsqueda de un modelo de negocio sostenible. Se trata de una aproximación al entendimiento de la situación actual en el Perú al 2018, como punto de partida para proyectar su futuro, una línea base que analiza la presencia de los medios tradicionales que emplean el internet como un nuevo canal y también de las nuevas fuentes noticiosas nativas digitales.
El estudio se enfoca, a partir de una muestra de hechos y noticias, en identificar las principales fuentes noticiosas de contenido de interés nacional de tipo periodístico empleadas por el consumidor digital, en caracterizarlas, clasificarlas y medir su grado de aceptación en función a la audiencia como indicador de éxito relativo. El trabajo continúa en la línea de identificar los atributos más relevantes mediante indicadores “proxy”, en coherencia al marco teórico y la evidencia empírica, para responder ¿a qué se debe el éxito en audiencia?
Se concluye que la oferta está sumamente atomizada en más de 15,000 fuentes y que, sin embargo, son sólo poco más de una treintena las que dominan el mercado con una audiencia sumamente fragmentada, en donde los medios periodísticos tradicionales son los principales protagonistas. La actualización y la globalización del contenido noticioso resultan elementos relevantes asociados al éxito en audiencia, así como el empleo de las potencias digitales para su distribución, destacando la hipertextualidad y la portabilidad en dispositivos móviles.<br>This research work is carried out at a time when traditional journalism suffers in the world and its digital version is still in search of a sustainable business model.

The study focuses, based on a sample of facts and news, in identifying the main news sources of content of national journalistic interest used by the digital consumer, in characterizing them, classifying them and measuring their degree of acceptance according to the audience as an indicator of relative success. The work continues along the way of identifying the most relevant attributes through indicators “proxy”, in coherence to the theoretical framework and empirical evidence,” to respond what is the success of the audience due to ?
It is concluded that the offer is highly atomized in more than 15,000 sources and that, however, it is only a little more than thirty that dominate the market with a highly fragmented audience, where traditional media are the main protagonists. The updating and globalization of the news content are relevant elements associated with success in audience, as well as the use of digital powers for distribution, highlighting hypertextuality and portability in mobile devices.<br>Trabajo de investigación
