BECKER, Beatriz  and  MATEUS, Lara. Pensando e fazendo webjornalismo audiovisual: a experiência do TJUFRJ . OBS* [online]. 2011, vol.5, n.1, pp.59-75. ISSN 1646-5954.

In this world mediated by digital technologies, in which communication plays a central role and the social-reality experience is built through combinations of images and words, it is important to consider collaborative news production since these processes challenge unilateral news-distribution schemes while proposing a rearrangement of today’s forms of journalistic mediation, and they could produce new values in the everyday social reality. Non-linear news has the potential to improve journalistic practices and increase interactivity. Nevertheless, such improvements require active readers-viewers-users that are capable of understanding media codes and technologies, analyzing new languages and producing acceptable journalistic material, and citizens that are also qualified to interact with media communications. Educating to think critically involves the ability to establish creative relationships that are consistent with what we see on the screen and with the real world beyond it. The ability to practice and contemplate journalism and select information has conceivably never been so essential. In this article, the experiments of the TJUFRJ laboratory and website of the UFRJ School of Communication’s online news (www.tj.ufrj.br) are discussed as attempts to associate education with methods of training audiences to be more active, based on a comparative analysis of different forms of producing the audiovisual news available in cyberspace.
