A influência do contexto multimidiático na configuração atual do telejornalismo

The TV news, like other productions for television, are in the process of adaptation of its discursive structures and its production as a consequence of the structures of the digital systems. Focusing not only the formatting, but mainly on the routines, its possible to notice the emergence of a new dynamic of production and consumption of information. Interactivity is the resource that has mobilized the most effort in the adaptation of television companies, anticipating the trend towards a more strengthening receiver role in communication relationship, which should be intensified by the convergence of medias with the deployment of Brazilian digital TV. While this is not realized, producers encourage a forged approach of receivers, since the proposal is not fully enforceable, either because of limitations in the routine production or in the technological devices. Then, the enunciative strategy of interactivity seeks to renew the social bond between the TV news and its audience.

TV digital interativa e Internet: o caso brasileiro

Em 2003, quando da publicação do decreto nº 4.901, que institui o Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão Digital SBTVD , o panorama vislumbrado era imenso e inspirador: o que despontava era a possibilidade de se ter acesso à internet e todas as vantagens decorrentes dela em cada aparelho de TV do país. Com as discussões sobre qual sistema adotar e posteriormente com as indefinições sobre o middleware, houve tempo suficiente para a internet se afirmar como mídia essencialmente interativa, deixando, por hora, para a TV Digital a qualidade de imagem . O que vemos agora é a qualidade da imagem que alcança em banda larga a tela do computador, seduzindo ainda mais os usuários de TV. Com o Plano Nacional de Banda Larga que visa à popularização da internet de alta velocidade no Brasil, prometido pelo Governo Lula, a TV Digital pode de um lado garantir o canal de retorno necessário para a interatividade plena e, de outro lado, perder uma importante batalha para a internet, que se firmará de vez como mídia interativa.

Perspectivas e desafios para o rádio na era digital

O rádio é o veículo de comunicação que as pessoas mais usam para receber informação e entretenimento diário. A portabilidade, a proximidade das emissoras com seus públicos e os receptores de baixo preço sustentam há várias décadas, a popularidade radiofônica. Mais recentemente, o rádio se beneficiou do crescimento da frota automotora e da enorme quantidade de celulares, que embutem gratuitamente receptores de rádio. Uma pesquisa realizada em 2010, pelo GPR (Grupos dos Profissionais do Rádio) sobre consumo radiofônico pelos brasileiros, apontou que 74% deles ouvem Rádio em receptores tradicionais, 63% ouvem pela internet, 61% pelo rádio do carro, 37% sintoniza rádio pelo celular, 21% por meio de dispositivos como MP3, MP4 e iPhone; 12% por meio de canais de áudio da TV a cabo e 3% via internet do celular. A pesquisa GPR apresenta números significativos de ouvintes em cada modalidade de dispositivo para recepção radiofônica. São indicadores claros de que um mesmo ouvinte está sintonizando regularmente suas emissoras prediletas em mais de um tipo de receptor de rádio. A nova variável demonstra que a digitalização da produção, da transmissão e da recepção, além de transformar o rádio em um veículo com linguagem multimídia, também lhe agregou a possibilidade de multi-sintonia. Ou seja, as mensagens radiofônicas passaram a ser recebidas pelos ouvintes em diversos terminais, todos dotados de ferramentas multimídia e de recursos para interatividade. É a evidência de que o rádio ingressou definitivamente no território binário e convergente do ciberespaço. De agora em diante, a formação das várias carreiras profissionais para a produção radiofônica terão que atentar para as transformações do veículo na era digital.

Social TV: definição sobre a experiência do usuário

This article presents a study on the concept of social TV and the user’s experience. We made a literature review in search of the several meanings and features given to the subject. We have analyzed the aspects that express changes in the field, beginning with the TV set connected to the internet, which allows users to new experiences of socialization, previously available only in other devices. This new scenario provides a new platform called “TV everywhere”, the ubiquitous television that is everywhere, regardless of location, time or space. We have researched the origin of social TV and the process that altered the old television model. Finally, we propose a new term to express such changes regarding social television: “Social TV”, representing the user’s experience through the convergence between television and the Internet, shared locally and remotely through any technological means.
