Jornalismo digital de quinta geração

as publicações para tablets em diálogo com o desenvolvimento da web

Abstract

This article revisits the stages of webjournalism (Pavlik, 2001; Mielniczuk, 2003) and makes a parallel with tablet publications, in a culturalist perspective. In doing that, modifications of readership and readers (Chartier, 1998 and Santaella, 2004) are recapitulated tracing intersections between cultural and technological changes. Through literature review and analysis of tablet’s news apps, it is proposed the emergence of a fifth generation of digital journalism: publications with web independence, mobility, amplification of off-line potential and visual construction, news hierarchy and graphic design with strong influence from the print newspapers. It revisits Barbosa (2013) that also points to a fifth generation of digital journalism and its particularities. From the research, it is proposed the following categorization of news apps: applications that represent a transposition of the paper; other products, which have print and digital “mothership”; a group of standalone apps, which have no correspondence to other analog or digital media outlets.
