Abstract

The present work has as its theme the transformations in the work of the journalist in the labor market, considering the constant technological transformations, thus having as its object of study the professional situation of journalism graduates of the Federal University of Pampa. Our goal was to seek a perspective of what Journalism has been enabling students, based on the reality of graduates, understanding in which areas these professionals are inserting themselves and what activities they perform. Scientifically, we believe that the work will contribute to think and adapt the teaching of the profession in an updated way. In addition, to give future graduates a broader and more realistic horizon in relation to the possibilities of action from the experience of professionals who are already in the market. As a theoretical reference, the work is based on concepts such as: Remediation (BOLTER; GRUSIN, 1999), Culture of Convergence (JENKINS, 2006) and Journalistic Convergence (NEGREDO; SALAVERRÍA, 2008), Media Ecosystem (CANAVILHAS, 2010) and in the work Journalism and Market, by Pedro Coelho (2015). We used as methodological procedures bibliographic research, quantitative research with application of online questionnaire and semi-structured interviews for qualitative stage. As results to be highlighted we found that almost 70% of journalism graduates who are survey respondents are working in the communication market, but that most of them work in the marketing area, performing activities even far from the training base.
