A inovação nos arranjos jornalísticos alternativos e independentes em rede: estudo de caso da Revista AzMina

Abstract

Independent and alternative journalism in networks has proved to be a perspective for professional journalism, which has been suffering various types of crises (SALAVERRÍA, 2015), aggressions and attacks. Taking these aspects into account, we developed this dissertation under the following problem:How does AzMina magazine characterize itself as an innovative journalistic arrangement, taking into account its criteria of editorial, financial and political independence? Therefore, we aim to understand how independent and alternative journalism is innovative, based on the editorial, financial and political criteria they adopt, having AzMina Magazine as the object of analysis. AzMina Magazine is an independent and feminist journalism portal, digital native that started in 2015 through crowdfunding. For the development of the work we used the methodology of bibliographic research (GIL, 2002) seeking to deepen the knowledge about independent and alternative journalism, journalism in networks, innovation in journalism, journalism and the creative industry. As part of the methodology, we developed content analysis, having as research object the AzMina Magazine website, its social networks (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok) and the YouTube channel. We listed three categories of innovation, present in AzMina, for content analysis: alternative journalistic arrangement template, content and interactivity. As some of the results, we noticed throughout the research that the innovations that the Magazine brings, whether in the forms of profitability, in the characteristics of the professionals, in the services offered, in the production and adequacy of the content following the languages of each platform, in addition to the use of tools that seek interactivity, are shown as possibilities of action for journalism in networks.
