Novas narrativas do jornalismo: possibilidades e tendências das reportagens na Web

Abstract

In our work, we study a journalistic product that resembles the journalistic feature, but, which is, in turn, practiced on the Web: it is the multimedia special. We align this practice to the materials produced by the interpretative and literary journalistic genres, which see their facet being adapted to the environment of the Web. We realized that this medium has specific qualities, modifying, in its way, some points of the traditional practice. We believe that these web features (reports) can provide many reading paths to the user, and thereby enable different constructions of meanings, according to the media content which are explored by means of the covered path. Our hypothesis points to the configuration of its structure, the relationship between their medium – the way they meet – and between medium and users – in the level of content and interface – as key points in this material. We also believe that is possible to give a structural viability in their planning and production, using in this opportunity the concept of “opened monads”, coined by Pernisa Júnior and Alves (2012). In the study, we put these concepts in relation to the results found in the empirical phase, in which we analyze three cases of web features. In this occasion we intend to find patterns and trends and thus reach conclusions about this subject, inferring what was studied by theory with what has been identified in practice.
