Journalism studies in Argentina: background and questions
Authors: Amado Adriana , Pizzolo Natalia
Published: April 2018

This article summarizes the background of empirical journalism studies in Argentina.  In recent publications, researchers have consistently underscored the lack of data on the profession and the scarce development of theoretical frameworks related to journalism studies.  The local investigations have prioritized approaches and methods that do not give the whole picture of the population of journalists. Most of the research tends to equate media analysis and media messages with journalism study and keeps on failing to provide data that allows for learning about the working conditions and the professional profile of the Argentinean journalists.
Newspaper design – processes, routines and product: a study of Segundo Caderno, the Zero Hora cultural supplement
Authors: Damasceno Patrícia Lopes , Gruszynski Ana
Published: April 2018

The article discusses the graphic design of Segundo Caderno supplement  from the newspaper Zero Hora (ZH). The study identifies and analyses witch graphical elements e what compositional strategies are used by the periodic, verifying how these area articulated with the editorial process and the values of the journalistic field. The methodological procedures utilized were bibliographical research; qualitative and quantitative evaluation of a corpus composed by 24 editions of the months of June, August, September and October of 2011; observation of the productive routines; and non-structured interviews with five professionals of this supplement. The results showed that journalism possesses a strong e consolidated work culture, and that its constraints guide the design practice in this context. It was also observed that the ignorance of the reader's profile by the journalists, the mismatch between the possibility of advanced planning in virtue of the connection with the events agenda and the restricted use of visual resources, highlighting by a significant number of released photos.
What is the impact of the web on local journalism? Two case studies in Toulouse, France.
Authors: Bousquet Franck , Smyrnaios Nikos , Bertelli Dominique
Published: April 2018

Our article aims to explore how the emergence of independent journalism could reconfigure local news. Our field research, carried out from January to April 2013, focuses on two news-based websites in Toulouse: Carré d'infos and LibéToulouse. The results of our research show how newcomers to the world of independent journalism are struggling to maintain their business. A business which is even more precarious than that of their national counterparts, also highlighting the low number of readers and limited exposure they get within the local public space. However, our study has shown that these new players concentrate on field reporting, covering issues that mainstream media often does not and, in particular, cherishing their independence from local politics and economics.
What to do about journalism?
Authors: Zelizer Barbie
Published: April 2018

I begin with a question that may seem to be labor the point to readers of this article but which I believe holds some of the key issues associated with contemporary journalism.“What to do about journalism?” is a question that has not only conceptual dimensions – as in what do we study when we think about journalism -- but also pedagogic ones -- how do we teach what we think we know – and, most importantly, pragmatic ones – what is journalism today? And how will we continue practicing it into the coming era? on this article I would like to think through some of the most important challenges facing the study of contemporary journalism. I’ll be drawing from my own work that has been somewhat focused on the fundamental question of what journalism is for.
Research: understanding the theory of journalism (Colombian contributions)
Authors: Osório Vargas Raul Hernando
Published: April 2018

The history of journalism is a field of contacts and loans. For this reason, research in journalism has and brings a broad and complex agenda, including: the process of news production, its language construction through different forms, structures and tenses. The methodology, epistemology and qualitative research in journalism; the history of journalists and journalism; i.e., the multiple relationships between journalism and culture, memory, social theories and discourse; fields that have been studied and researched in Latin America. But the question on our professional Ethos is what remains the transverse axis of the research, not only in the American continent, but in the world. It is fundamental to our existence and to the depth analysis of this set of features and modes, behaviors, that make up the character and identity of our profession.
Anthropological teachings: the possibility of apprehension of the “Other” in Journalism
Authors: Lago Cláudia
Published: April 2018

This paper intends to deepen the comprehension regarding the apprehension of the Other in the journalistic field, based on reflections on Anthropology, its specificity and field work. It results from the presupposition that Journalism plays a determining role in the structure and extension of democracy and citizenship and that its social responsibility, commonplace within the values of the field (LAGO, 2003) can only be fulfilled with the incorporation of otherness as a reference. Based on the comparison of how these different fields position themselves with relation to the Other, it seeks to perceive how to incorporate into Journalism elements of the anthropological perspective.
Gatekeeping, gatewatching, real-time feedback: new challenges for Journalism
Authors: Bruns Axel
Published: April 2018

How bloggers and other independent online commentators criticise, correct, and otherwise challenge conventional journalism has been known for years, but has yet to be fully accepted by journalists; hostilities between the media establishment and the new generation of citizen journalists continue to flare up from time to time. The old gatekeeping monopoly of the mass media has been challenged by the new practice of gatewatching: by individual bloggers and by communities of commentators which may not report the news first-hand, but curate and evaluate the news and other information provided by official sources, and thus provide an important service. And this now takes place ever more rapidly, almost in real time: using the latest social networks, which disseminate, share, comment, question, and debunk news reports within minutes, and using additional platforms that enable fast and effective ad hoc collaboration between users. When hundreds of volunteers can prove within a few days that a German minister has been guilty of serious plagiarism, when the world first learns of earthquakes and tsunamis via Twitter – how does journalism manage to keep up?
The Press & pressure: a critical discourse analysis of the promotion of “responsibility to protect” or “sovereignty” narratives in the ongoing Syrian crisis
Authors: Kounalakis Markos
Published: April 2018

The popular concept that journalism is a moderating check on an aggressive state – one that operates in a world dictated by Realism’s demands for power and survival – is solace both for society and individual journalists who believe in the peaceful calling of the profession and the power of the Fourth Estate. But what happens when data and a discursive analysis of news organizations indicates that rather than favoring diplomatic solutions and peaceful resolutions, journalism is both fueling the flames of fear and fostering aggressive military postures that may favor confrontational nationalist rather that peaceful internationalist outcomes? This paper analyzes news and opinion production in both the Chinese and American press to conclude that in the case of the on-going conflict in Syria, the states themselves, while in conflict on the promotion of policies that reflect either the “Responsibility to Protect” (United States) or that of “Sovereignty” (China), are more aligned with diplomatic resolution than the press.
The potential for criticism in journalistic narratives about the dictatorial period in Brazil
Authors: Maia Marta Regina , Lelo Thales Vilela
Published: April 2018

In this work we aim for the discussion of the critical potential of the narratives on the Brazilian dictatorial time (1964-1985), recovered through recent stories of actors in-volved in the events so far not approached by journalism. As a methodological North, we shall seek to apprehend the enunciating devices and the ways of summoning the reader to this field. The discussion of how these devices come forth will be introduced through two unseen interviews about such period and by its reverberations in several means of communication. We will follow here the effort of a current of journalism that does not abstain from the connections between the experience, the collective memory and politics on track of the context established by countless Commissions of Truth, pointing to a targeted critique about its way of establishing contact with the audience.
Aspects of visual discursivity in graphic journalism: narrative enunciation and visual witness in Le Photographe
Authors: Picado Benjamim
Published: April 2018

The article examines some of the features designating comics as samples of a sub-genre labelled as “graphic journalism”: characterized by bringing together visual and discursive resources of graphic narratives, and exploitation of topic universes associated with historical and social actualities, such materials raise discussions about several defining criteria for journalistic practices, as recognized in its basic elements, resources, institutions and devices. I am interested in observing the characteristics of a partícular work in this context, the album Le Photographe (GUIBERT, LEFÈVRE and LEMERCIER, 2009), with special focus on the enunciative and narrative regimes of visual forms used in this graphic narrative. Preference is here given to methodological approaches discriminating the dialectics between specificity/integration of different media (drawing, photography and graphic composition), constituting a testimonial discursivity of contemporary visual narratives: I concentrate on the narrative schemes of representation of actions and the game-like structure that marks the different discursive positions of narrative enunciation, through the oscillation between drawing and photographic formats.
The journalist and the other: on the vestiges of investigation and writing
Authors: Schwaab Reges , Zamin Angela Zamin
Published: April 2018

Understanding and writing journalistic narratives as developments in a unique relationship with time itself as well as questioning issues intrinsic to the profession is healthy. The current research examines books written by journalists as a space to pursue such understanding. More broadly, we aim to stress the relationship between media narratives with contemporary issues in a lapsed conceptual space. Thus, our examination takes into consideration three works by Portuguese journalist and writer Alexandra Lucas Coelho: Afghan Notebook (2009), Viva Mexico (2013) and Tahrir! The Days of the Revolution (2011), exploring what they tell us about Journalism and its processes of writing and investigating the concepts of time and of the Other.
Active audiences and journalism: Involved citizens or motivated consumers?
Authors: Masip Pere , Guallar Javier , Peralta Miquel , Ruiz Carles , Suau Jaume
Published: April 2018

Audience participation, in any of its forms and names (public journalism, citizen journalism, participatory journalism, UGC), appears to revitalise democracy, thanks to the opportunities for public debate opened up by information and communications technology. On the other hand, however, there are many authors who question whether interactive technologies really encourage democracy or the market, empower the citizen or strengthen the consumer. In this context, we still have little information on the motivations that drive citizens to actively participate through the mechanisms that the media make available to them on their own websites or through social networks. There is a similar lack of information on the role that users attribute to their involvement in the functioning of the media and whether it contributes to improving their democratic function. This article aims to shed some light on this subject.
Protecting sources: from shield laws to Wikileaks
Authors: Dupéré Mélanie
Published: April 2018

This paper focuses on recent developments in the right and ability of journalists to protect their sources’ anonymity in the United Kingdom, particularly in light of the Snowden revelations of June 2013, and the significance of collaboration between the global online media organization Wikileaks and mainstream news organisations. It explores two key difficulties faced by journalists: the notion of a qualified professional privilege and the unknown extent of covert requests by public authorities for disclosure involving communications data and metadata. In doing so, it comments upon the opening filled by Wikileaks, which protects its sources’ anonymity through high data security and encryption. This paper’s findings tend to show that the covert practice of blanket mass digital surveillance of individual communications including journalists’ is undermining source protection and the rise of Wikileaks as an alternative model is challenging the traditional role of journalists as mediators and gatekeepers in the digital era.
Journalism as Justified True Belief
Authors: Lisboa Sílvia , Benetti Marcia
Published: April 2018

If it is important to think of journalism as a form of knowledge, then how does it become knowledge? How does this process work? In order to answer this question, this article proposes a new understanding of journalism as a subject; presenting it as a justified true belief. We think of journalism being based on pillars of truth and justification, conditions necessary in order for Epistemology to grant it the status of knowledge. We address the concept of truth and show how journalistic reports are justified to the public as well as consider the central role of credibility in this process. We add to the epistemic conception by using concepts of discourse that help to understand how journalism provides evidence through its intentions, its authority and its ability. This evidence acts like a guide for the reader towards forming opinions on journalistic reports and recognizing journalism as a form of knowledge.
Photojournalism in the Belém Press: 1900–1950
Authors: Seixas Netília Silva dos Anjos , Siqueira Thaís Christina Coelho
Published: April 2018

This study looks at the course of photojournalism in the first half of the 20th century in the Belém press, in the State of Pará. This is exploratory research based on the iconographic and iconological analysis of images as understood by Panofsky and Kossoy. Bibliographical and documentary research together with an empirical analysis of data was conducted on three important newspapers in Pará: A Província do Pará, Folha do Norte and Estado do Pará, all available in the archives of the Arthur Vianna Public Library in Belém. Analyzing the data made it possible to provide a picture of the course of photojournalism in Pará for the major newspapers in circulation during the established time period, showing that even at the beginning of the century periodicals already recognized the power of images; something evident in publication. The data also showed that problems in the city, wars, politics, police and sports were the main issues for photojournalism in Pará throughout the decades studied in this paper.
The Extended Space of Public Opinion in the Context of Multi-Platform Journalism: From Speakers to Discursive Actors
Authors: Caetano Kati Eliana
Published: April 2018

This paper has as its starting point the traditional condition of public opinion, especially its existence in the society of mass communication when assuming the role of legitimizing discourses of political protagonists – the government and media. This text aims to show it as an object built around the set of discursive conventions, and show the modifications it goes through in the context of current journalism; a multitude of voices being heard in the circulation of information spaces. The qualitative analysis focuses on opinions on the Israel / Palestine conflict taken from reader comments and Internet search applications based on tags between the period of June and September 2014. Among these changes are the needs to restructure its concept, to understand the challenge it represents to news organizations and to review the formal elaborations that sustain journalistic discourse.
News Media Power and Public Policy: The Mediatized Construction of Women Trafficking for Sexual Exploitation
Authors: Simões Rita Basílio de
Published: April 2018

Like other areas of violence against women, sex trafficking has become in the last decade increasingly politicized in Portuguese society, with the news media attaching important visibility to it, both for public awareness purposes and government reaction. This happened after the dismantling of a chain of striptease clubs, suspected of hosting trafficking activities. Known as the “Passerelle case”, this event attracted great media attention and brought to the public sphere the problem of trafficking in women for sexual purposes. This article looks at the Portuguese press to understand in what ways the news coverage of the case paved the way for the social and political acknowledgment of this issue, and to what extent it favored an understanding capable of making a real difference in the lives of women. It argues that, despite the news media’s undeniable involvement in sociopolitical changes claimed by feminism, its emancipatory potential remained unexplored.Tal como outras áreas da violência contra as mulheres, o tráfico para exploração sexual tornou-se na última década crescentemente politizado na sociedade portuguesa, com os media de informação a concederem a esta prática uma importante visibilidade, tanto no domínio da conscientização pública como no plano da reação governamental.

Conhecido como o “caso Passerelle”, este acontecimento atraiu elevada atenção mediática e fez aflorar no espaço público o tráfico para fins sexuais. Este artigo analisa a imprensa portuguesa para compreender de que forma a cobertura noticiosa do caso abriu caminho para o reconhecimento social e político deste problema e em que medida favoreceu uma compreensão capaz de fazer diferença na vida das mulheres. Defende-se que, apesar do inegável envolvimento dos meios de comunicação nas mudanças sociopolíticas reivindicadas pelo feminismo, o seu potencial emancipatório permaneceu inexplorado.Como otras áreas de la violencia contra las mujeres, el tráfico con fines de explotación sexual se ha convertido en la última década en un tema crecientemente politizado en la sociedad portuguesa, con una importante visibilidad en los medios para la concienciación pública y reacción del gobierno.

Error, Doubt and Gendered Journalism: A Look at the Rape Coverage in the Feature “A Rape On Campus”
Authors: Gomes Barbosa Karina , Varão Rafiza
Published: April 2018

This paper aims to problematize some foundations of Western journalism in the light of feminist contributions, reflecting about the rape coverage made by dominant press, with the feature “A rape on campus”, published in November 2014 by the American magazine Rolling Stone, as case study. We propose to think journalism from four ideas linked to feminist theories: perspective; women's experience; objective in favor of women; and situated subjects. Besides reflect about a journalism built on feminist foundations, we are going to analyze the ways in which this journalism dialogues, collides, contradicts and challenges the traditional and universal foundations of journalism, especially those related to ethics and production. Este artigo busca problematizar alguns fundamentos do jornalismo ocidental à luz das contribuições feministas, refletindo sobre a cobertura de estupro feita pela imprensa de referência, tendo a reportagem “A rape on campus”, publicada em novembro de 2014 pela revista norte-americana Rolling Stone, como estudo de caso. Nos propomos a pensar o jornalismo a partir de quatro proposições ligadas às teorias feministas: perspectiva; experiência das mulheres; objetivo em/a favor das mulheres; e sujeitos situados. Para além de pensar um jornalismo possível a partir de fundamentos feministas, nos dedicamos a cotejar de que maneiras essa potência de jornalismo dialoga, se choca, contradiz e interpela fundamentos tradicionais e universais do jornalismo, sobretudo aqueles relativos à ética e aos processos de apuração. Este artículo busca problematizar algunos fundamentos del periodismo occidental a la luz de las contribuciones feministas, pensando sobre la cobertura de violación hecha por la prensa de referencia, teniendo el reportaje “A rape on campus”, publicada en noviembre de 2014 por la revista norteamericana Rolling Stone, como estudio de caso.

The Discourse of Female Photojournalists: The Imbalance between Remunerated Labor and Maternity as a Professional Calling
Authors: Silva Nathalia Cunha da , Gonçalves Elizabeth Moraes
Published: April 2018

This article aims to understand how female photojournalists see maternity within the profession in the contemporary world through the use of a study on the cultural and historical influence of gender roles on the performance and development of female photojournalists in the city of São Paulo. A qualitative methodology was adopted using semi-structured interviews. The interviews were conducted with nine female photojournalists from three different age groups who work both formally and informally. For the purposes of this study, we selected only the parts of the interview where the interviewees referred to their role of mother and professional. The analysis was based on a discursive approach, with theoretical support from French Discourse Analysis. The results show the influence gender roles have on forming symbolic barriers that connect having a career with an imbalance between paid work and maternity.O artigo objetiva compreender como as mulheres fotojornalistas percebem a maternidade dentro da profissão na contemporaneidade por meio de um estudo sobre a influência cultural e histórica dos papéis atribuídos de gênero na atuação e desenvolvimento feminino no fotojornalismo paulistano. A metodologia empregada é qualitativa, com uso de entrevista do tipo semiaberta. As entrevistas foram realizadas com nove mulheres que têm o fotojornalismo como principal atividade, com relações de trabalho formais e informais, divididas em três grupos etários. Para este texto foram selecionadas apenas as falas em que as entrevistadas faziam referência ao papel de mãe e profissional. O procedimento de análise seguiu uma abordagem discursiva, com subsídios teóricos na Análise do Discurso de linha francesa. Os resultados apontam a influência dos papéis atribuídos aos gêneros sobre a configuração de barreiras simbólicas que atrelam a permanência na carreira à exigência de um desequilíbrio entre trabalho remunerado e a maternidade.

Reproductive Rights and Journalism: The Case of Brazilian Women's Spring
Authors: Cardoso Laís Cristine Ferreira , Lima Nataly de Queiroz , Rocha Heitor Costa Lima da
Published: April 2018

This article aims at reflecting on one of the most arid grounds of the discussion regarding gender in journalism: reproductive rights. More specifically, we seek to identify what has been published about the discussion on abortion in the media and the potential of the historical moment, in which new movements reheat the debate on women's rights. To that end, we have collected data, analyzed content, and articulated intersectional theoretical references of the two fields, gender relations and the journalistic field, based on the coverage of the movement of Brazilian women in November 2015, known as Women's Spring, in the national magazines Época and IstoÉ. The analysis of the material has revealed a wide coverage, not criminalizing, but restricted to the traditional discursive rituals that surround topics considered as taboo and which do not fit into a public health framing.Este artigo se propõe a refletir acerca de um dos terrenos mais áridos da discussão de gênero no jornalismo, os direitos reprodutivos. Mais especificamente, buscamos identificar os interditos à discussão sobre o aborto na mídia e as potencialidades do momento histórico, no qual novos movimentos reaquecem o debate sobre os direitos das mulheres. Para tal, articulamos o levantamento de dados, análise de conteúdo e um referencial teórico interseccional aos dois campos, as relações de gênero e o campo jornalístico, utilizando como base a cobertura da movimentação das mulheres brasileiras em novembro de 2015, conhecida como Primavera das Mulheres, nas revistas Época e IstoÉ. A análise do material revelou uma cobertura ampla, não criminalizadora, mas circunscrita aos rituais discursivos tradicionais que se operam em/sobre temas considerados tabus e afastada do enquadramento da saúde pública.  Este artículo se propone a reflexionar sobre uno de los terrenos más áridos de la discusión de género en el periodismo, los derechos reproductivos.

Eclectic continuum, distinct discipline or sub-domain of communication studies? Theoretical considerations and empirical findings on the disciplinarity, multidisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity of journalism studies
Authors: Löffelholz Martin , Rothenberger Liane
Published: April 2018

Is journalism studies a sub-domain of communication studies, adistinct discipline, a multidisciplinary merger or a transdisciplinary endeavour? This question is discussed by analyzing the 2008 and2009 volumes of seven academic journals focusing on journalismresearch. The sample includes 349 articles published in BrazilianJournalism Research, Ecquid Novi, Journalism & CommunicationMonographs, Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, PacificJournalism Review, Journalism Studies, or Journalism: Theory,Practice and Criticism. Overall, the findings reveal that journalismresearch mainly applies theoretical approaches and empiricalmethods deriving from other disciplines, particularly sociology, psychology or cultural studies. In many countries, however, journalism studies has reached a comparatively high level of institutionalization indicated by the large number of specific schools, professorships, professional associations and respective academic journals. In conclusion, we argue that journalism studies is a sub-domain of communication studies, which integrates andtranscends various disciplines aiming to become one of the axialsubjects of the 21st century.
Sexual diversity in Brazilian journalism: a study of the representations of LGBT people in the newspapers Folha de S. Paulo and o Estado de S. Paulo
Authors: Darde Vicente , Morigi Valdir
Published: April 2018

We understand that the news, the main product of journalism, is constructed from the multiple discourses that circulate within the present culture, influenced by the values related to the hegemonic norm that governs social behavior, the hetero-normativity. Through Discourse Analysis, we analyzed which representations of LGBT people the leading Brazilian newspapers Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo help to build in our society. The search for recognition of sexual diversity operates via standardization, within a perspective that encourages a culture of tolerance, in which the representations of the group are anchored, strengthened by the moral and ideological discourse of religious institutions that deny LGBT people the possibility of the enjoyment of full citizenship. We conclude that as long as heterosexuality is not questioned by journalism and debated in the public sphere in an open and democratic way, it is difficult to combat prejudice and violence against LGBT people.
Convocation regimes for environmentalism in Brazilian business magazines
Authors: Aidar Prado Jose Luiz , Prates Vinicius
Published: April 2018

The tensions between the liberal-capitalist discourse and the antagonistic discourses of environmentalism are of special interest in Brazil. This paper outlines a study of the convocation regimes employed in environmental reports published in 2010 in the two most prominent Brazilian economics and business magazines, whose communication contracts propose the modalization of executives and companies towards economic success. Its objective is to analyze how enunciators thematize environmental antagonisms while keeping their general communication contract within the liberal-capitalist paradigm. The enunciator constitutes a regime of sameness/otherness, where sameness is built upon the terms of the reformist orientation of environmentalism, while deep ecology and radical ecology are presented as othernesses. The nodal points that connect the chains of equivalence of the discursive field of environmentalism, in terms of environmental reformist sameness, or “sustainability,” are technology and efficient management, which return the reader to the original communication agreement.
Can news sites stimulate online deliberation? A study of readers comments posted on Folha.com
Authors: Sampaio Rafael Cardoso , Barros Samuel Anderson Rocha
Published: April 2018

This paper assesses online deliberation on readers’ comments on the website of the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo. To this end, 260 posts on four different stories were analyzed. In addition to the comments, the newspaper’s website, its discursive tools and the political stance of the participants, were examined. It was concluded that there was relevant deliberativeness in discussions but also excessive aggressiveness among participants. The comments posted revealed that most of the participants sought to win debates rather than promoting mutual understanding. Lastly, the paper discusses how to deal normatively with this aggressiveness and attempts to identify ways to increase democratic values through the provision of discursive tools by news sites.
TV journalism in the digital age: aspects of transmedia storytelling on paper television
Authors: Martins Elaide
Published: April 2018

This paper proposes a reflection on audiovisual journalism from the perspective of transmedia storytelling (NT), a term coined by Henry Jenkins (2009a) in his research on the culture of convergence. How has media convergence affected the language and aesthetics of audiovisual journalism? And what of the routine and profile of its professionals? Or the relationship with the audience? What are the new paradigms and what has changed in their production processes as regards the use of new media? To reflect on these and other issues, it is necessary to identify and analyze aspects of transmedia storytelling on TV Folha, an audiovisual program inspired by printing, which began as a private channel on the web and is today shown by a public broadcaster. It is a product which seems to indicate that transmedia storytelling is beginning to establish a firm place in Brazilian audiovisual journalism based on its relationship with new information platforms.
Journalistic coverage of political and financial crises and the “issue” of political corruption
Authors: Cunha Isabel Ferin
Published: April 2018

This article analyzes the relationship between news coverage, political communication, crises and corruption, focusing on Western democracies and particularly Portugal. Firstly, political communication and news coverage are discussed, based on the assumption that the commoditisation of the goals of media and information companies has resulted in changes in the balance between the political and media fields. Within this perspective, attention is devoted to the consequences of these changes in Western democracies, taking into consideration not only certain aspects that tend to subvert underlying principles of representative democracy, but also the emergence of new social movements craving greater democratic participation in the public sphere. In addition, this study examines the concepts of crisis and political corruption, seeking to identify the historical and cultural elements that correlate the two phenomena in Western democracies, especially in Portugal. Finally, it addresses the processes of exposing corruption phenomena and their legal implications, as well as the principles of transparency of information and the consequences upon democracy.
Technological convergence and the new journalist
Authors: Renault David
Published: April 2018

Beginning in the 1990s, Brazilian means of communication have experienced a (still ongoing) transformation process in the treadmill of technological advances, which have allowed for broad media convergence and for a single journalistic group to offer diverse products across various digital platforms. These transformations have impacted profoundly the routines of journalistic newsrooms and their professionals, from whom more and more agility is expected in order to meet the demands of the new era. This study seeks to demonstrate how the new reality affects the routines of newsrooms and journalists at the Brasilia offices of four of the most prominent newspaper groups in the country: O Estado de S. Paulo, Folha de S. Paulo, Valor Econômico and O Globo.
Television newscast news production: the transformation of the news process and professional routines
Authors: Frazão Samira Moratti , Brasil Antonio
Published: April 2018

Journalism dynamics have been modified due to the insertion of the audience in the production process by means of participatory journalism. In that light, it is important to ask: in what ways could the participation of the audience modify the production process of reports and the professional routines of journalists? This work focuses on a TV newscast broadcast by the RJTV (Rede Globo Rio de Janeiro), called “Parceiro do RJ” – in which pairs of young participants took part in the process of news production – and it was chosen to be the empirical object of this study. The objective of this work is to analyze the ways in which the participants act, by pointing out the differences among them in their production of the newscast reports. The theoretical background was provided by various authors in the area of genre studies, participatory journalism, and quality. The empirical object was analyzed by means of videos based on the method of “Addressing Modes” (GOMES, 2011), as well as interviews performed with newscast representatives during a visit to the Brazilian television organization’s headquarters.
Popular participation and news values in telejournalism: interaction and citizenship
Authors: Moraes Adriana , Temer Ana Carolina Pessoa , Coelho Bernadete
Published: April 2018

This article consists of a reflection on the citizenship regarding means of communication, more specifically television. It is based on the principle that the viewer’s participation in television news program content should be configured as a right and, therefore, a citizenship guarantee. The study shows how journalists can be involved in the practice of citizenship, basing on the newsworthiness criteria that shape these professionals’ routines in the production process of news that is conveyed in telejournalism. The object of this research is the news frame “Quero ver na TV” (“I want to see on TV”), created by Anhanguera Television, affiliated with Rede Globo, to be aninteractivity channel among viewers and journalists.
WARGA NEGARA DAN MASALAH KONTEMPORER DALAM PARADIGMA PEMBANGUNAN

Ditengah hingar-bingar globasliasi dan modernisasi dunia yang memperlihatkan kemajuan disegala bidang, tanpa disadari kita tidak melihat sisi gelap modernisasi dan globlaisasi yakni kemiskinan, yang terjadi negara-negara kulit berwarna seperti di Asia dan Afrika. Bagi bangsa berkembang yang baru saja terlepas dari penjajahan kolonial, bebas dari belenggu kemiskinan adalah suatu hal yang sulit dilakukan. Dampak dari penjajahan seperti kebodohan, eksploitasi sumberdaya alam, ketidakberdayaan rakyat, kesehatan masyarakat yang rendah serta kemiskinan itu sendiri merupakan suatu hambatan dalam membangun suatu negara. Di negara-negara berkembang banyak terjadi semacam eksploitasi yang tidak tampak, tapi cukup tajam yakni eksploitasi manusia atas manusia tanpa terkecuali di Indonesia. Bung Karno menyebutnya sebagai ‘exploitation de l‘homme par l‘homme’ dan ‘exploitation de nation par nation’.

Paradigma pertumbuhan (growth paradigm) hanya menguntungkan sebagian kecil masyarakat karena paradigma ini dalam penerapan belum dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan secara menyeluruh atau yang kaya makin kaya dan yang miskin makin miskin. Kegagalan dalam paradigma ini memicu munculnya paradigma baru yakni paradigma pemetaan (generalization paradigm). Pemerataan pembangunan ini cenderung menggunakan pendekatan kebijakan top-down. Hingga melahirkan paradigma baru yakni pembangunan yang berpusat pada sumberdaya manusia (people centered development paradigm). Paradigma ini juga dikenal sebagai paradigma pembangunan partisipatif (partisipative approach) atau juga disebut buttom-up planing. Pendekatan pembangunan ini menekankan pentingnya, inisiatif, kreatifitas, dan inovasi yang beripijak pada keinginan masyarakat. Dengan mendengar aspirasi dari warga negara untuk disampaikan kepada pemerintah membuat terjalin sinergitas diantara keduanya sehingga persoalan kemiskinan dapat diselesaikan secara bersama-sama.

 

 

 
A kinetic analysis of coupled sequential enzyme reactions
Authors: Eilertsen Justin , Schnell Santiago
Published: April 2018

As a case study, we consider a coupled enzyme assay of sequential enzyme reactions obeying the Michaelis--Menten reaction mechanism. The sequential reaction consists of a single-substrate, single-enzyme non-observable reaction followed by another single-substrate, single-enzyme observable reaction (indicator reaction). In this assay, the product of the non-observable reaction becomes the substrate of the indicator reaction. A mathematical analysis of the reaction kinetics is performed, and it is found that after an initial fast transient, the sequential reaction is described by a pair of interacting Michaelis--Menten equations. Timescales that approximate the respective lengths of the indicator and non-observable reactions, as well as conditions for the validity of the Michaelis--Menten equations are derived. The theory can be extended to deal with more complex sequences of enzyme catalyzed reactions.
A Bayesian Approach to Predict Solubility Parameters

Solubility is a ubiquitous phenomenon in many aspects of science. While solubility can be determined by considering the cohesive forces in a liquid via Hansen solubility parameters (HSP), the prediction is often done using Quantitative structure-property relationship models due to its low computational cost. Herein, we report an interpretable and versatile probabilistic approach (gpHSP) to determining HSP. Our model is based on Gaussian processes (GP), a Bayesian machine learning approach, which also provides uncertainty bounds to prediction. gpHSP achieves its flexibility by leveraging a variety of input data, such as SMILES strings, COSMOtherm simulations, and quantum chemistry calculations. gpHSP is built on experimentally determined HSP: a general solvents set aggregated from literature, and a polymer set, in-house characterized. In both sets, we obtained a high degree of agreement, surpassing well-established machine learning methods. We demonstrate the general applicability of gpHSP to miscibility of organic semiconductors, drug compounds and in general solvents, which can be further extended to other domains. gpHSP is a fast and accurate toolbox, which could be applied to molecular design for solution processing technologies.
Probing the Basis Set Limit for Thermochemical Contributions of Inner-Shell Correlation: Balance of Core-Core and Core-Valence Contributions
Authors: Sylvetsky Nitai , Martin Gershom
Published: April 2018

The inner-shell correlation contributions to the total atomization energies of the W4-17 computational thermochemistry benchmark have been determined at the CCSD(T) level near the basis set limit using several families of core correlation basis sets, such as aug-cc-pCVnZ (n=3-6), aug-cc-pwCVnZ (n=3-5), and nZaPa-CV (n=3-5). The three families of basis sets agree very well with each other (0.01 kcal/mol RMS) when extrapolating from the two largest available basis sets: however, there are considerable differences in convergence behavior for the smaller basis sets. nZaPa-CV is superior for the core-core term and awCVnZ for the core-valence term. While the aug-cc-pwCV(T+d)Z basis set of Yockel and Wilson is superior to aug-cc-pwCVTZ, further extension of this family proved unproductive. The best compromise between accuracy and computational cost, in the context of high-accuracy computational thermochemistry methods such as W4 theory, is CCSD(T)/awCV{T,Q}Z, where the {T,Q} notation stands for extrapolation from the awCVTZ and awCVQZ basis set pair. For lower-cost calculations, a previously proposed combination of CCSD-F12b/cc-pCVTZ-F12 and CCSD(T)/pwCVTZ(no f) appears to ‘give the best bang for the buck’. While core-valence correlation accounts for the lion’s share of the inner shell contribution in first-row molecules, for second-row molecules core-core contributions may become important, particularly in systems like P4and S4with multiple adjacent second-row atoms.[In memory of Dieter Cremer, 1944-2017]
The Hydration Structure of Methylthiolate from QM/MM Molecular Dynamics
Authors: Awoonor-Williams Ernest , Rowley Christopher
Published: April 2018

Thiols are widely present in biological systems, most notably as the side chain of cysteine amino acids in proteins. Thiols can be deprotonated to form a thiolate, which affords a diverse range of enzymatic activity and modes for chemical modification of proteins. Parameters for modeling thiolates using molecular mechanical force fields have not yet been validated, in part due to the lack of structural data on thiolate solvation. Here, the CHARMM36 and Amber models for thiolates in aqueous solutions are assessed using free energy perturbation and QM/MM MD simulations. The hydration structure of methylthiolate was calculated from 1 ns of QM/MM MD (PBE0/def2-TZVP//TIP3P), which show that the water–S- distances are approximately 2 Å. The CHARMM thiolate parameters predict a thiolate S radius close to the QM/MM value and predict a hydration Gibbs energy of -331 kJ/mol, close to the experimental value of -318 kJ/mol. The cysteine thiolate model in the Amber force field underestimates the thiolate radius by 0.2 Å and overestimates the thiolate hydration energy by 119 kJ/mol because it uses the same Lennard-Jones parameters for thiolates as for thiols. A recent Drude polarizable model for methylthiolate with optimized thiolate parameters also performs well. SAPT2+ analysis indicates exchange repulsion is larger for the methylthiolate, consistent with it having a more diffuse electron density distribution in comparison to the parent thiol. These data demonstrate that it is important to define distinct non-bonded parameters for the protonated/deprotonated states of amino acid side chains in molecular mechanical force fields.
