Based on gatekeeping theory, this quantitative study expands that literature by comparing what The New York Times publishes in print, on its website and on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Results show both significant similarities and differences across platforms, and raise questions about the industry, and about news gatekeeping theory.

This article reflects on the issue of the refugees from four photographs of the series Exodus by Brazilian photographer Mauricio Lima, published on the North American newspaper The New York Times and Pulitzer winner in 2016. Its main objective is to analyze the boundaries between the duty of contemporary photojournalism and the obtainmentof images of refugees. For that, we used as theoretical reference reflections proposed by Appadurai, Bauman, Martínez, Sontag, Shore, Rouillé and Zanforlin. Methodologically, we worked with qualitative research and case study from the analysis of the images and bibliographic research. As a result, it is considered that Lima’s images bring original expressive dimension and seek personal interactions to build profound narratives.

En España fallecen por suicidio el triple de personas que en accidente de tráfico, pero la muerte intencional sigue siendo un asunto que en las redacciones informativas se silencia por considerar que su visibilidad fomenta el aumento de conductas imitativas. La Organización Mundial de la Salud promueve desde 2000 una guideline para el abordaje informativo del suicidio en la que se proponen comportamientos diferentes: informar con  responsabilidad y de modo que se colabore en dinámicas de prevención. Esta investigación revisa libros de estilo o códigos de conducta de FAPE, de los nueve colegios profesionales de España y de 23 organizaciones profesionales internacionales y analiza las noticias online durante seis meses en una muestra intencional de 11 periódicos de referencia (El País, El Mundo, La Vanguardia, La Voz de Galicia y El Periódico, The Guardian, Le Monde, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Corrieri della Sera y Público) para identificar si existen pautas que orienten el abordaje informativo e intentar determinar si la política informativa apuesta por fomentar el efecto Werther (silencio) o el efecto Papageno (prevención).PALABRAS CLAVE: Medios de comunicación, responsabilidad social,prensa, suicidio.

Resumo Um sobrevoo rápido nas estratégias contemporâneas do jornalismo aponta para um reforço nas ideias de “experiência” e de “experimentação”. A recorrência com que tais conceitos têm sido empregados em vários domínios científicos e profissionais atesta sua importância em relação a conteúdos ciberjornalísticos, especialmente utilizando Realidade Virtual e Realidade Aumentada. Este artigo discute a experiência neste panorama, levando em conta duas esferas: uma, que diz respeito à experimentação do jornalismo enquanto âmbito de produção, e a segunda, no que concerne à experiência do leitor/usuário enquanto fruidor de conteúdos. A análise foi realizada em jornais de referência como Folha de S. Paul, The New York Times e The Guardian. A conclusão aponta que se manifesta uma instância na produção e fruição de conteúdos jornalísticos que podemos definir como valor-experiência.

As niche publications fill the void left by a shrinking legacy media, this comparative case study asks how the sourcing practices of journalists at the education news nonprofit Chalkbeat New York influenced news framing of early childhood education. Chalkbeat's coverage of universal pre-K rollout in New York City was compared to The New York Times and WNYC. A qualitative content analysis of 178 articles published between January 1 and December 31, 2014, found that journalists at all three news organizations quoted government sources most often. But Chalkbeat and WNYC also brought education officials into the conversation, something reporters at The New York Times did only occasionally. This might be because universal pre-K is framed as a political issue in The Times. As the Every Student Succeeds Act replaces the deeply unpopular mandates of No Child Left Behind, this comparative case study points to the need for education reporters who are subject matter experts capable of translating jargon and policy for their audience.
