Abstract

DOI: 10.25200/BJR.v16n2.2020.1257 ABSTRACT – The native digital newspaper Nexo is the empirical object of analysis of this study that aims to understand how its journalistic information is structured in terms of sections, themes, web potential, modalities, genres, and journalistic formats. The theoretical framework consists of the scenario of journalistic convergence, the structural changes and innovations associated with this convergence, and understanding the newspaper as a device, paying attention to the characteristics of cyberjournalism and how the newspaper was formed. The methodological procedures adopted are bibliographic and documentary researches and content analysis, which operationalize the evaluation of the corpus composed of materials collected in five spaces between September 11 and 24, 2017 sections of the website, home page, Facebook page, newsletters and articles. There is a new proposal for framing sections and themes; distinct approaches to periodicity, topicality, universality and advertising; multiplatform articulation; exploration of different modalities, formats and genres; adoption of hypertextuality and memory for explanatory journalism; and the use of multimedia and interactivity as alternatives for editorial innovation.
