isas desenvolvidas sobre esta problemática, particularmente no que concerne ao universo das crianças. É nesse sentido que esta obra analisa e debate sobre as formas de acesso e de consumo de notícias, por crianças portuguesas a frequentar o 1º Ciclo do Ensino Básico. Incidindo particularmente sobre como os tópicos da atualidade mediática ajudam estes públicos a apreender e a assimilar o mundo global e o mundo imediato, coloca-se a tónica na receção noticiosa e na ideia de público como sujeito. Com base em metodologias quantitativas e qualitativas, conclui-se que a natureza do envolvimento dos públicos mais novos com as notícias é contextualizada em função de variáveis sociodemográficas, do background familiar e do tipo de mediação que aí se pratica, dos interesses e experiências pessoais, e das formas de exposição mediática. É de salientar que as crianças contactam habitualmente com a atualidade em momentos de reunião familiar, embora demonstrem pouco interesse nos tópicos apresentados. Os resultados evidenciam que a informação noticiosa é vista como referência para conhecer o mundo e que o diálogo com os adultos pode ser um elemento impulsionador do gosto pela informação e um auxiliar fundamental na compreensão das notícias."

"Despite the efforts of the news industry, we find only a small increase in the numbers paying for any online news – whether by subscription, membership, or donation. Growth is limited to a handful of countries mainly in the Nordic region (Norway 34%, Sweden 27%) while the number paying in the US
...
(16%) remains stable after a big jump in 2017. • Even in countries with higher levels of payment, the vast majority only have ONE online subscription – suggesting that ‘winner takes all’ dynamics are likely to be important. One encouraging development though is that most payments are now ‘ongoing’, rather than one-offs. In some countries, subscription fatigue may also be setting in, with the majority preferring to spend their limited budget on entertainment (Netflix/Spotify) rather than news. With many seeing news as a ‘chore’, publishers may struggle to substantially increase the market for high-priced ‘single title’ subscriptions. As more publishers launch pay models, over two-thirds (70%) of our sample in Norway and half (50%) in the United States now come across one or more barriers each week when trying to read online news. In many countries, people are spending less time with Facebook and more time with WhatsApp and Instagram than this time last year. Few users are abandoning Facebook entirely, though, and it remains by far the most important social network for news. Social communication around news is becoming more private as messaging apps continue to grow everywhere. WhatsApp has become a primary network for discussing and sharing news in non-Western countries like Brazil (53%) Malaysia (50%), and South Africa (49%). People in these countries are also far more likely than in the West to be part of large WhatsApp groups with people they don’t know – a trend that reflects how messaging applications can be used to easily share information at scale, potentially encouraging the spread of misinformation. Public and private Facebook Groups discussing news and politics have become popular in Turkey (29%) and Brazil (22%) but are much less used in Western countries such as Canada (7%) or Australia (7%). Concern about misinformation and disinformation remains high despite efforts by platforms and publishers to build public confidence. In Brazil 85% agree with a statement that they are worried about what is real and fake on the internet." (Summary, page 9)

"No capítulo I é analisada a paisagem radiofónica em Portugal desde o início do século XX. Com mais pormenor, é estudada a história da TSF, a “rádio que mudou a rádio”, desde a sua fundação, à emissão histórica dos incêndios dos armazéns do Chiado, culminando nos dias de hoje. S

o ainda apontadas as características que fizeram da emissora uma referência radiofónica nacional. No capítulo II é analisada a importância dos dispositivos móveis no consumo da rádio, onde são descritos os arquétipos de Simon Bond (2013) para o smartphone e para o tablet. Através destes equipamentos, o utilizador tem acesso aos diferentes canais de distribuição, como as redes socias, os podcasts e as pushed news (ou notificações). Analisamos ainda os wearables (os “vestíveis”) como dispositivos que apresentam um crescimento em termos de consumo de conteúdos e de notícias. Os hearables (os “audíveis”) estão a ser explorados por algumas empresas, como a Sony, ao utilizar a voz como comando para executar funções. No capítulo III é pertinente analisar as tendências de futuro para a rádio e para o som, respetivamente. Tentamos perceber se a “fase de ouro” do áudio é igualmente a da rádio e quais os modelos digitais e perspetivas de futuro para este meio de comunicação. No capítulo IV é referida a importância do som para o ser humano e para o jornalismo. Este capítulo é dedicado, sobretudo, à reflexão sobre as vantagens e desvantagens do som binaural e de que maneira este pode contribuir para conteúdos radiofónicos mais enriquecedores. Por exemplo, a BBC Radio 3 já adotou este tipo de som para conteúdos de podcast. Mas como veicular este tipo de som sem ser pelos canais digitais dito tradicionais? No seguimento do conteúdo anterior, o capítulo V explica como a realidade aumentada pode ser uma ferramenta útil para o jornalismo. Para além de várias empresas apostarem nesta tecnologia para colmatar lacunas ou facilitar serviços, como é o caso da experiência da “ZARA AR”, questionamo-nos porque é que o jornalismo está a apropriar-se desta tecnologia. Como o protótipo do modelo inovador que propomos veicula a mobilidade como uma das premissas centrais, este capítulo dedica-se às aplicações de RA em contexto móvel e analisa como é que o som pode complementar esta tecnologia. Exploramos alguns exemplos de aplicações de RA com recurso ao som, i.e. som aumentado ou som binaural, nomeadamente a aplicações com referências geográficas. Procuramos perceber se a RA e o som podem aliar-se na constituição de uma ferramenta útil para as narrativas radiofónicas. Assim, olhamos para o passado da rádio, para o presente das duas tecnologias e para as tendências futuras da rádio. Por isso, no capítulo VI, agregamos todos os conceitos supracitados e propomos um modelo inovador para as narrativas na rádio." (Páginas 16-17)

"The use of social media for news has started to fall in a number of key markets after years of continuous growth.

f news in Facebook. At the same time, we continue to see a rise in the use of messaging apps for news as consumers look for more private (and less confrontational) spaces to communicate. WhatsApp is now used for news by around half of our sample of online users in Malaysia (54%) and Brazil (48%) and by around third in Spain (36%) and Turkey (30%). Across all countries, the average level of trust in the news in general remains relatively stable at 44%, with just over half (51%) agreeing that they trust the news media they themselves use most of the time. By contrast, 34% of respondents say they trust news they find via search and fewer than a quarter (23%) say they trust the news they find in social media. Over half (54%) agree or strongly agree that they are concerned about what is real and fake on the internet. This is highest in countries like Brazil (85%), Spain (69%), and the United States (64%) where polarised political situations combine with high social media use. It is lowest in Germany (37%) and the Netherlands (30%) where recent elections were largely untroubled by concerns over fake content." (Key findings, page 9)

"Die kommunikationswissenschaftliche Öffentlichkeitsforschung hat sich in den vergangenen Jahren verstärkt mit transnationalisierten Formen von Öffentlichkeit beschäftigt. Allerdings gehen nur wenige empirische Arbeiten über die (mögliche) Entstehung einer europäischen Öffentlichkeit hinaus.
...
Daher analysieren wir anhand der medienöffentlichen Debatten in 15 Ländern über die Klimapolitik – ein Thema, das oft als möglicher Kristallisationspunkt für die Entstehung transnationaler oder gar „globaler“ Öffentlichkeiten dargestellt wird – inwieweit die Akteursensembles in der Berichterstattung von Qualitätstageszeitungen, Regional- und Boulevardzeitungen transnationalisiert sind und welche Reichweite eine etwaige Transnationalisierung aufweist. Die Analyse zeigt eine beträchtliche Transnationalisierung, die teils über eine Europäisierung hinausgeht. Allerdings ist die Berichterstattung je nach Untersuchungsdimension unterschiedlich transnationalisiert: Transnationalisierte Bezüge zeigen sich eher in „schwacher“ als in „starker“ Form: Ausländische oder supranationale Akteure werden häufiger in der Berichterstattung erwähnt, als dass sie selbst zu Wort kommen. Zudem ist die horizontale Transnationalisierung stärker ausgeprägt als die vertikale: Bezüge auf Akteure aus anderen Ländern finden sich häufiger als Bezüge auf supranationale politische Organisationen. Die Analyse zeigt zudem Länder- und Medienunterschiede, die grosso modo die Befunde der Forschung zu Klimawandel-Kommunikation und europäischer Öffentlichkeit bestätigen: In wirtschaftlich von Klimaschutzmaßnahmen betroffenen Ländern ist die Berichterstattung stärker national geprägt. In Qualitätstageszeitungen ist die Berichterstattung stärker transnationalisiert als in Boulevard- und Regionalmedien." (Zusammenfassung)

ry, highlighting their main productions, as well as the theme of the year. The second part consists in 11 chapters, one for each country, with an internal structure of fixed topics, but with new additions every year. The sections that compound each chapter are the following: 1) Country’s audiovisual context: this section presents general information about the audiovisual sector regarding the production of television fiction, such as history, trends and relevant events. 2) Analysis of premiere fictions: it is made through quantitative tables that show specific data about national and Ibero-American TV fictions released in each country. In this section the ten most watched titles of the year are highlighted. Since 2017, the Yearbook also brings the five most watched national productions of the year in an effort to enhance and deepen the issue of national identities in each country. 3) Transmedia reception: this section presents and exemplifies what channels offer to the audience fiction on the internet, as well the description of the audience’s behavior when watching, consuming and interacting with their fictions through websites, social networks and other platforms. 4) Highlights of the year: the most important productions not only in terms of audience (rating), but also for their sociocultural impact and for generating innovation in television fiction production or reception. 5) Theme of the year, which this year is Ibero-American TV fiction on video on demand platforms. This theme converges with the interests of Obitel, which for years has been following the trajectory of Ibero-American television fiction by rapidly changing scenarios. Multiple screens, transmissions, new formats, pay TV, UGC, among other topics, have been monitored and analyzed theoretically by each Obitel country research group. In this Yearbook, the proposal is to discuss production on video on demand platforms (VoD), addressing new forms of distribution and consumption. The objective was to verify the panorama of VoD production and consumption in the Obitel countries and the presence of national fiction on these platforms. In order to do so, we attempted to identify the reconfigurations that are occurring in the television scenario of each country in the face of new platforms of production, distribution and audiovisual consumption. Such reconfigurations take place from production to reception, from narrative forms to business models, to debates on legislation and regulation." (Pages 21-22)

ização dos meios digitais. As crianças usam tecnologias desde que têm 1 ano de idade, principalmente o tablet, o seu dispositivo preferido, maioritariamente para jogar e não sendo produtoras de conteúdos. Quando as crianças iniciam a exploração digital, os pais apresentam-lhes os dispositivos, sem regras, mas se começam a verificar excesso de utilização, tendem a colocar regras rígidas, como tempos curtos de utilização, gerando-se conflitos. Os pais preferem que elas brinquem no exterior, no entanto assumem utilizar as tecnologias para entreterem os filhos. Para os pais, os filhos ainda são muito jovens e não correm riscos neste uso, pois não sabem ler nem frequentam redes sociais, sendo as tecnologias uma ferramenta mais significativa no ensino primário. No entanto, os filhos têm mais competências digitais do que eles concebem: fazem download e aprendem a jogar jogos de modo autónomo, pesquisam vídeos e músicas no YouTube, gerem a memória dos dispositivos ou utilizam as opções da televisão por subscrição. Os pais concebem as tecnologias como relevantes para os filhos no seu futuro ou acesso à informação, assim como percepções negativas, como a pedofilia e rapto, questões ligadas às redes sociais. Poucas crianças mencionaram a utilização de tecnologias para questões educativas em casa ou no jardim de infância. É necessário providenciarmos oportunidades e experiências às crianças para se envolverem com as tecnologias digitais, tendo como objetivo desenvolver competências operacionais, assim como o seu envolvimento em brincadeiras imaginativas de novas e inovadoras maneiras. Os pais têm o papel de as acompanhar neste uso, proporcionando uma utilização segura e proveitosa." (Contracapa)

Although the study does include examples of the usage of these provisions, it is not an analysis of legal practice [...] The study is divided into two sections. The first section offers conclusions according to each of the principal categories researched and in reference to international standards on freedom of expression. The second section provides the detailed research findings for each country, including relevant examples. As the study’s title suggests, the primary research category is general criminal laws on defamation and insult. However, this study also covers special laws protecting the reputation or honour of particular persons or groups of people (e.g., presidents, public officials, deceased persons); special laws protecting the ‘honour’ of the state and state symbols; and blasphemy and religious insult laws."
