Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:In recent times, journalism has been subject to significant transformations, resulting from a cultural context where news, newsrooms and journalists have had to learn how to deal with the new concepts, practices and uncertainties brought about by the digital era. Defining the journalistic profession, or even defining news as a journalistic genre, has become an extraordinarily complex task, at a time when new models of understanding are required to grasp the meaning of what has been, what is now, and what journalism might become in the near future. In this article, Michael Schudson analyzes some of the ongoing transformations, suggesting a set of features he conceives as determinant in the blurring of borders that has become a defining trait of contemporary journalism principles and practices. While safeguarding a number of questions and doubts, the author goes on to conclude optimistically that this new emerging journalism has revealed itself more cooperative, less hierarchical, more efficient and, especially, closer to its audience.
