Redação vazia: o registro da rotina jornalística durante o início da pandemia da Covid-19 em formato de livro-reportagem interativo

Abstract

The interactive book-report, entitled “Redação Vazia”, is an experimental project that was conceived based on the changes that occurred in the journalistic production of a large part of the media due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The book addresses and seeks to record, through reports, the routine of ten journalists from Grupo RBS during the beginning of the pandemic, which occurred in March 2020, as well as what were the obstacles faced with leaving the newsroom, which culminated in work at home office and going out with the need for protective equipment, in addition to adapting the equipment used in the newsroom to wherever the reporters were, whether working only at home or out in the field. The narrative is hypertextual. This means that, within the text, external links that redirect to newspaper articles, interview audios and videos of events are used. These links aim to extend the narrative beyond the pages of the book and illustrate the scenario experienced by journalists and make the content more attractive to the target readership: both journalism professionals and laypeople in the field.
