Do telejornalismo ao jornalismo audiovisual móvel: análise do aplicativo BBC News como dispositivo da indústria criativa a partir da teoria do contrato de comunicação

Abstract

This dissertation aims to understand how the mobile audiovisual products developed for smartphones - created by BBC News - configure the specific staging device, distinguishing itself from traditional telejournalism and the audiovisual journalism. In order to reach this objective, the first chapter of this study discusses the theory of communication’s contract, developed by Charaudeau, focusing the staging devices of information. In the sequence, some aspects of convergence culture (JENKINS, 2008) and their influences on journalistic production are discussed, considering its interference in the process as the journalistic convergence (SALAVERRÍA; NEGREDO, 2008). The focus of this study is identifying characteristics that demonstrate peculiarities of these different staging devices, considering, as start point, the identification of original symbolic aspects. In the chapter four, there is a discussion about the transformations and the development of audiovisual journalism from the webjournalism until the emergence of mobile audiovisual journalism, considering the conception that the mobility appears as in the distribution of information as in the distribution of production (FIRMINO, 2018). The fifth chapter deals with the methodology. The principles of semiolinguistic analysis are considered (CHARAUDEU, 2016). Besides, the elements related to the concept of communication contract (CHARAUDEAU, 2012) were used as the reference. As final resolution, specific and exclusive formats and characteristics were found in the app BBC News, which configure a new symbolism, besides the hybrid materials that contemplate a differentiated experience from the dispositive. It can be concluded that the mobile audiovisual journalism is a category in process.
