Abstract

The issues inherent in the dynamics of production, distribution, and consumption of news-related information have been the focus of numerous academic studies in recent years. However, it is particularly relevant today to increase scientific production dedicated to understanding and analyzing the new media and informational landscapes emerging in digital contexts while coexisting with analog formats. These shifts have evident implications both for the usual operational modes of media and journalistic companies and for practices of accessing information, uses, and perceptions of the concept of “news.” It is within this context that the proposal for this thematic dossier emerges.
