Digital narratives: deviations from journalism in cyberspace

Abstract

Digital narratives: deviations from journalism in cyberspace — This paper attempts to shift the reflections on communication medias (especially journalism) to the field of confluence of the theories that constitute the language sciences, seeking to create a differentiated approach about how they are carried out. In proposing a shift in the way we think about communication medias, we start from the assumption that the discursive domain, which is understood as the articulator of symbolic relations — and hence the place where social bonds are created and undone — is the privileged field for its study. This fact is even more significant when one considers the advanced level of intermediation that models the contemporary world, characterized by mediatic networks and by differentiated forms of production and circulation of narratives — among them journalistic narratives —, especially in online digital formats.
