Las redes sociales han creado un entorno competitivo que, ya sea por su dispersión o por su capilaridad, relegaron los mainstream media a un rol secundario en el ecosistema mediático. Irónicamente, las tecnologías que amenazan el periodismo tradicional son asimismo aquellas que pueden salvarlo, siempre que se utilicen correctamente.
El periodismo, debilitado por los efectos de la crisis económica y con redacciones cada vez más reducidas, tiene en la inteligencia artificial una oportunidad de recuperar cierta centralidad en el ecosistema de los medios. En este trabajo se estudia AIDA, un proyecto de la televisión brasileña Globo. Este proyecto buscó en la automatización una respuesta para evitar errores y ambigüedades en las noticias. El estudio del caso AIDA, complementado con entrevistas, presenta los desafíos para lograr la automatización en la lectura y presentación de datos de sondeos electorales

Ao longo de 2017, foram recolhidos os posts de 10 páginas do Facebook de organizações brasileiras conotadas com a produção de notícias falsas ou manipuladas, tendo sido selecionadas 50 publicações que correspondem às mais partilhadas em cada uma das páginas. Os resultados permitem verificar que os posts com mais compartilhamento têm algumas características comuns em três quesitos: formato de conteúdo, estratégia de linguagem e fonte de informação. Foram também identificados em textos, vídeos e fotografias, formatos habitualmente usados com esta finalidade de propagação, o recurso às frases de impacto, a utilização descontextualizada de figuras públicas comentando fatos políticos e a abordagem sensacionalista.

The presence of these devices has become a constant on any latitude, as shown by the penetration rate figures for 2018: 65.9%. These numbers, already surprising on their own, reach even higher values among young people. Thus, this paper studies the use of mobile phones, in particular smartphones, by young Portuguese and Brazilian university students. For this purpose, an app that registered all the uses made by the youngsters in their mobile devices, was employed. This methodology allows data collection in a daily context without the participants feeling controlled. A total of 317,938 interactions, registered in the participants devices, shows that the main use given to these devices is as a platform for access to social networks, followed by the sending of messages and the variable “second uses” of the device (watch, calendar, camera, calendar and calculator). Although this is a study in progress, at this stage it is safe to state that the data confirm previous studies (FORTUNATI; TAIPALE, 2014) in which smartphones assert themselves as a verbal written communication platform in opposition to their genesis based on orality.

The methodology used was the systematic review of the literature in the last decade (2009-2019). For such mapping, academic works (theses, dissertations, articles and chapters) were located from indexing systems, public repositories and specialized search engines. The goal was to discover how the tetrad has been applied and to which purposes. Finally, the potentialities of this tool, called McLuhan’s “exploratory probe”, are pointed out.

This article examines how, in their most advanced stage, Brazilian, Portuguese and Basque students organized themselves in working groups to cooperate and jointly develop, in English, in-depth journalistic and multimedia coverage, some of them, even with a transmedia perspective. The results allow us to evaluate the advantages and difficulties of cooperative and virtual teachinglearning processes that seek to promote the internationalisation of media and communication students in Ibero-America.

A evolução tecnológica destes aparelhos, com o constante surgimento de novas valências, alterou as rotinas de produção jornalística, mas também as formas de relacionamento entre o jornalismo e o seu público. Por isso, atualmente é impossível falar de jornalismo sem referir o papel dos celulares em alguma das suas fases de produção, circulação e consumo.

A pesar de todas las amenazas, el medio continúa vivo e, incluso, gana nuevos públicos en un escenario hostil para un medio centenario. La realidad muestra que la radio transformó sus debilidades en fuerzas y se adecuó al nuevo ecosistema de una forma más rápida que cualquier otro medio. Las razones de esta veloz y exitosa adaptación están relacionadas con la simplicidad del soporte y con el lenguaje unisensorial usado, pero también con una capacidad inaudita para el reajuste a nuevas situaciones. En este trabajo se identifican los rasgos que hacen de la radio una superviviente y se analiza la forma como se adaptó al nuevo ecosistema, ilustrando cada caso con ejemplos de programas radiofónicos portugueses

In this paper we explore what the emergence of fake news (understood as false news) represents for journalists, trying to answer the following question: Does false news pose a threat to the credibility of good journalism, causing a disruption of the traditional work? To answer it, we interviewed a sample of journalists from various media organizations in Portugal and Brazil. Among the main findings, journalists are aware that fake news is a problem to be faced, as the blame for the dissemination of false news erroneously lies with the profession. They are conscious that something must be done and agree that the best way to fight against fake news is to invest in media literacy. Most of the journalists of our sample think they must be also more cautious to check sources for veracity and for political motivations. The results show that there is a resolve to reinforce the role of journalism in society.

From the early stages of production to distribution, and then through the characteristics of content and consumption patterns, numerous changes have been introduced by these mobile devices in an activity that has been undergoing one of the most uncertain moments in its long history. This uncertainty has stemmed from the decrease in income which was caused by the emergence of new competitors, such as the online press and social networks. This bibliographic review aims at identifying the changes caused by smartphones in the production distribution and consumption of news, analyzing its effect on the epistemology of journalism. We attempt to ascertain if the increasing influence of mobile technologies in the journalistic activity has changed its nature, improving the production of knowledge. Upon closer reading of the bibliography, it can be concluded that the versatility of mobile devices has facilitated a set of new possibilities not only for journalists, namely more autonomy and a reduction in the time spent between the event and the publication, but also for consumers, who can do a mobile and personalized consumption on their screens. Due to its ability to continuously adapt to the rhythm of contemporary society, mobile journalism has become more universal and has been confirmed as a form of knowledge insofar as it responds more effectively to consumers’ expectations, in particular young people’s, who are moving away from journalism and thus prevent the generational renewal of readers, something which is fundamental for the media business model.

It is an online news exchange service developed within the EBU European Broadcasting Union, which brought together ten public broadcast companies from nine countries. This project uses Artificial Intelligence for the translation and recommendation of content produced by the participants and that can be freely used on their websites. The main objectives of the project are the fight against misinformation and the affirmation of the European values in a social context in which social networks have been gaining more and more influence among public opinion. Methodology: This paper, a case study, explains how the project works and analyses the type of content shared in the first two months of operation on the website of RTP-Rádio Televisão Portuguesa.
