PEIXINHO, Ana Teresa  and  SANTOS, Teresa Almeida. Hybridity and journalistic genres: analysis of a ‘report-news story’. Media & Jornalismo [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.38, pp.59-75.  Epub June 30, 2021. ISSN 1645-5681.  https://doi.org/10.14195/2183-5462_38_3.

This article focuses on the hybridization that exists exists within the theoretical genres of contemporary journalism. Based on the analysis of a televised newscast, broadcast by the private television Portuguese channel TV1, this study aims to show how the noble genre of telecast journalism - great news reporting - has been colonized by discursive and narrative pratices characteristic of fiction, with an impact on several levels. Reflecting on the possible causes of this choice, this analysis will explore its consequences in relation to the public’s perception of a theme pertaining to public health - medically assisted reproduction (MAR). This study uses qualitative methodology - narrative analysis - and draws from the theoretical field of analysis of media and mediatic narrative studies. There is also a specialized basis in relation to the theme in question - cryoconservation and medically assisted reproduction - that is fundamental to understanding issues of representation, mediation and the effects of televised narrative presented by the television station.

Keywords : genre; hybridism; journalism; news report; fiction; health.
