This article aims to evaluate how the use of the WhatsApp application affected the relationship between journalists and the audience, and changed the productive routines in the newsroom of the Tribuna Notícias lunch time news show in the first 18 months of its implementation (between April 2015 and October 2016). In order to accomplish this task, this case study employs bibliographic review, participant observation and semi-structured interviews. The newscast was analyzed for six non-consecutive weeks, in different months, always from Wednesday to Wednesday. Our findings demonstrate that the viewers are not aware of the needs of the journalistic practice neither of the company’s interests, and do not affect the selection of topics that will be covered by the show in a meaningful way.
