Abstract

Telejournalism has undergone profound transformations in its way of producing and transmitting information, thanks to the technological development of communication media and digital social networks. This virtual advance has changed and is still significantly changing the roles and skills required of journalists in the television news sector. The purpose of this research was to find out what these new functions are and define the competencies related to them. In other words, the dissertation sought to detect and analyze the new functions and competencies (REIS; THOMÉ; MIRANDA, 2018) required from communication professionals in two television stations in Juiz de Fora / MG, focusing on the production of regional television news, in the media context of transformations, with the emergence of new practices and demands, based on technological advances and digital social networks. In the context of mediatized journalism (PICCININ; SOSTER, 2012) and expanded television news (SILVA; ALVES, 2016), it was important to observe the production of two local / regional news programs in Juiz de Fora - MG1 (TV Integração) and Alterosa em Alerta 1st Edition (TV Alterosa) - and the performance of the teams in this new scenario of convergence. In order to do this, the research followed the methodology of Case Study (YIN, 2001) and interviewed 14 professionals from the two newscasts, seven employees from Rede Globo's affiliate and another seven professionals from SBT's affiliate. It was possible to detect ten new functions and competences in the two newscasts in relation to the new media scenario.
