Zona de contato entre jornalismo e redes sociais: Circulação da informação nas rondas do g1 Triângulo Mineiro e Alto Paranaíba

Abstract

This work aims to understand how social networks influence journalistic production and how media outlets, such as the news portal G1 Triângulo Mineiro e Alto Paranaíba, deal with these discourses. To do so, the study took rounds, the process of searching for topics on social networks, as the empirical object for analysis, examining how they establish themselves as a contact zone between journalism and individuals on social networks. The methodology of the work is based, first, on research and literature review, followed by a mediatized case study, based on participant observation procedures, content collection, and analysis of circulation. Through these analyses, we problematize the frequency of network influence in daily life, the main social networking sites from which the data predominantly originates, the recurring themes that emerge as patterns, the textual typologies and treatments adopted by reporters for the material, as well as the context of relevance and social contribution of articles that had their first traces on social networks and became published news. In this way, it was possible to observe the rounds that establish themselves as contact zones between journalism and social networks, and the flow of information circulation through this contact, and ultimately, how this entire process influences journalism and society.
