Estudo de caso do programa Flash! Vidas : informação ou entretenimento?

O presente estudo de caso resulta de três meses de estágio no Grupo Cofina Media, onde foram desempenhadas funções jornalísticas na secção Vidas, do jornal Correio da Manhã (CM) e no programa televisivo Flash!Vidas, do canal Correio da Manhã TV (CMTV), desde o dia 2 de fevereiro até ao dia 2 de maio de 2015. Foi elaborado no âmbito do Mestrado em Jornalismo, no Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa, Escola Superior de Comunicação Social, e por objetivo a obtenção do grau de mestre no curso anteriormente referido. A análise tem como propósito perceber se as alegadas peças noticiosas transmitidas pelo programa televisivo Flash!Vidas, no canal Correio da Manhã TV, podem ser consideradas informação, entretenimento ou os dois géneros. É importante referir que o presente trabalho terá como base fundamental os valores-notícias estudados pelo teórico Nelson Traquina e o conceito de infotainment.

Plataforma de gestão de guias de programação de TV digital

Com o consumismo de mais variedade e qualidade de informação, assim como, produtos interativos, surgiu a necessidade de apresentar mais conteúdos, para além da programação de televisão comum. Com os avanços tecnológicos ligados à indústria da televisão e sua distribuição nos lares portugueses pelos operadores de TV, a quantidade de oferta de canais deixou de ser um foco, passando a ser prioritário a melhoria da experiência do cliente. Com a introdução de novas funcionalidades nas caixas recetoras de sinais de transmissão de canais, como por exemplo, a capacidade de apresentar informações adicionais sobre os programas, desde da sua apresentação em modo trailer até ao elenco detalhado que o compõe, os clientes podem ter uma nova experiência de interação com os serviços de TV. A funcionalidade de gravação agendada de programas levou ao próximo ponto de melhoria de experiência do cliente. As gravações que resultavam em programas indevidamente cortados, quer no seu início quer no seu fim, foi um dos motivos que levou os operadores de TV a procurarem um melhor serviço de gestão de guias de programação digitais. A InfoPortugal, entidade detentora do seguinte projeto e EPG Provider de algumas operadoras de TV nacionais, viu-se obrigada a atualizar os seu sistemas de distribuição de conteúdos, para responder à evolução dos requisitos dos seus clientes.

New Opportunities for Development Journalism: Enlarging the Public Sphere with ICTs

The present study examines new opportunities offered by the introduction of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to enhance the development journalism practice, in order to enlarge the public sphere and empower ordinary people to participate more actively in public debate on issues affecting their development. The analysis of the achievements and challenges faced by 32 radio stations under the UNESCO project “Empowering Local Radios with ICTs” offers an overview of the introduction of ICTs in different contexts, within and among seven countries in Sub- Saharan Africa. Even though the lack of ICTs access and knowledge is still a concern in the developing world, especially in rural areas, these new tools can be adapted to each context and foster a more pluralistic and participative media in order to address people’s needs and promote social change.

Cultural journalism in a digital environment : new models, practices and possibilities

Both culture coverage and digital journalism are contemporary phenomena that have undergone several transformations within a short period of time. Whenever the media enters a period of uncertainty such as the present one, there is an attempt to innovate in order to seek sustainability, skip the crisis or find a new public. This indicates that there are new trends to be understood and explored, i.e., how are media innovating in a digital environment? Not only does the professional debate about the future of journalism justify the need to explore the issue, but so do the academic approaches to cultural journalism. However, none of the studies so far have considered innovation as a motto or driver and tried to explain how the media are covering culture, achieving sustainability and engaging with the readers in a digital environment. This research examines how European media which specialize in culture or have an important cultural section are innovating in a digital environment. Specifically, we see how these innovation strategies are being taken in relation to the approach to culture and dominant cultural areas, editorial models, the use of digital tools for telling stories, overall brand positioning and extensions, engagement with the public and business models. We conducted a mixed methods study combining case studies of four media projects, which integrates qualitative web features and content analysis, with quantitative web content analysis. Two major general-interest journalistic brands which started as physical newspapers – The Guardian (London, UK) and Público (Lisbon, Portugal) – a magazine specialized in international affairs, culture and design – Monocle (London, UK) – and a native digital media project that was launched by a cultural organization – Notodo, by La Fábrica – were the four case studies chosen. Findings suggest, on one hand, that we are witnessing a paradigm shift in culture coverage in a digital environment, challenging traditional boundaries related to cultural themes and scope, angles, genres, content format and delivery, engagement and business models. Innovation in the four case studies lies especially along the product dimensions (format and content), brand positioning and process (business model and ways to engage with users). On the other hand, there are still perennial values that are crucial to innovation and sustainability, such as commitment to journalism, consistency (to the reader, to brand extensions and to the advertiser), intelligent differentiation and the capability of knowing what innovation means and how it can be applied, since this thesis also confirms that one formula doesn´t suit all. Changing minds, exceeding cultural inertia and optimizing the memory of the websites, looking at them as living, organic bodies, which continuously interact with the readers in many different ways, and not as a closed collection of articles, are still the main challenges for some media.

"I like my beer cold, my TV loud, and my homosexuals flaming!" : preference for stereotype consistency as a function of a person x situation interaction /

The study centers on the power of Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) as predictors of prejudice against stereotypical and nonstereotypical homosexuals under the threat of death and the threat of uncertainty. Right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) is an individual difference variable that measures the tendency for individuals to unquestionably follow those perceived to be authorities. Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) is an individual difference variable that measures the degree to which an individual prefers inequality among social groups. The RWA and SDO Scales are considered to be two of the strongest predictors of prejudice, such as prejudice against homosexuals. The study focuses on the unique predictive power of these two variables in predicting prejudice against homosexuals. The study also examines the role of situational threat in prejudice, specifically the threat of death (mortality salience) and the threat of uncertainty (uncertainty salience). Competing predictions from theories involving the threat of death (Terror Management Theory) and the threat of uncertainty (Uncertainty Management Theory) are also tested. The preference for expected information in the form of stereotypes concerning male homosexuals (that is, a stereotypical or non-stereotypical homosexual) were tested. The difference between the predictive power ofRWA and SDO was examined by measuring how these variables predict liking of a stereotypical or non-stereotypical homosexual under the threat of death, the threat of uncertainty, or a control condition. Along with completing a measure for RWA and a measure for SDO, participants were asked to think of their own death, of their being uncertain or about watching television then were asked to read about a week in the life of either a stereotypical or non-stereotypical male homosexual. Participants were then asked to evaluate the individual and his essay. Based on the participants' evaluations, results from 180 heterosexual university students show that RWA and SDO are strong predictors for disliking of a stereotypical homosexual under the threat of uncertainty and disliking of a non-stereotypical homosexual under the threat of death. Furthermore, however, results show that RWA is a particularly strong predictor of disliking of a stereotypical homosexual under the threat of uncertainty, whereas SDO is an exceptionally strong predictor of disliking of the non-stereotypical homosexual under the threat of death. This further adds to the notion that RWA and SDO are indeed unique predictors of prejudice. Implications are also explored, including the fact that the study simuhaneously examined the role of individual difference variables and situational threat variables, as well as exploratory analysis on Dominating Authoritarians.

Au-delà et à côté de la Quality TV : une alternative esthétique brésilienne

Tout en voulant inclure la fiction télévisuelle brésilienne parmi les fictions de qualité, cette recherche analyse l’émergence et l’évolution du concept de qualité dans le panorama télévisuel brésilien. Examinant l’histoire de la télédramaturgie au Brésil, depuis les téléthéâtres jusqu’aux microséries réalisées par Luiz Fernando Carvalho, en particulier la microsérie Capitu (2008), nous suggérons que la production fictionnelle brésilienne a atteint un niveau de qualité sophistiquée et avant-gardiste qui illustre une alternative au style préconisé par la formule des séries télévisées américaines qui se regroupent sous l’étiquette de la Quality TV. De plus, le raffinement de la microsérie contribue à la légitimation de la valeur artistique de la télévision à partir de caractéristiques télévisuelles, contrairement à la production fictionnelle américaine dont l’esthétique plutôt cinématographique finit par discréditer davantage le petit écran. Finalement, nous souhaitons démontrer l’importance des innovations esthétiques que cette microsérie a apportées au sein d’une sphère médiatique qui semble se diriger progressivement et rapidement vers l’uniformisation du langage télévisuel et de son contenu.
