Este artigo discute através do estudo de caso, a utilização da Nota de Repúdio como estratégia do jornal online Roraima em Tempo na defesa e resgate da credibilidade das notícias produzidas e divulgadas pelo jornalismo digital na era das fakes news. Com a publicação da nota de repúdio, levantou-se a questão se as fakes news causam preocupação e abalam a credibilidade do jornalismo online. Analisar esse mecanismo de defesa e repúdio utilizado pelo jornal abre a discussão sobre a intencionalidade das notícias falsas disseminadas na web. Essa análise foi feita tomando por aporte teórico o pensamento de Norbert Elias e John L. Scotson (2000) que tratam sobre relações de poder e Pierry Lévy (2003; 2007) que aponta para as mudanças na forma de se comunicar e nas relações ocasionadas pelo ciberespaço. A nota de repúdio no jornal Roraima em Tempo abriu espaço para uma discussão latente sobre a proliferação das notícias falsas, obrigando o veículo de comunicação a utilizar estratégias de defesa para reafirmar que o conteúdo por ele veiculado é verdadeiro e merece credibilidade.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Intencionalidade nas notícias; Notícias falsas; Nota de repúdio.     ABSTRACT   This article discusses through the case study the use of the Note of Repudiation as a strategy of the online newspaper Roraima em Tempo in defending and restoring the credibility of the news produced and disseminated by digital journalism in the era of fakes news. With the release of the repudiation note, the question arose as to whether fakes news causes concern and undermines the credibility of online journalism. Analyzing this defense and repudiation mechanism used by the newspaper opens the discussion about the intentionality of fake news disseminated on the web. This analysis was made taking as theoretical basis the thought of Norbert Elias and John L. Scotson (2000) that deal with power relations and Pierry Lévy (2003; 2007) that points to the changes in the way of communicating and the relations caused by the cyberspace. The note of repudiation in the newspaper Roraima em Tempo made room for a latent discussion about the proliferation of fake news, forcing the media to use defense strategies to reaffirm that the content it conveys is true and deserves credibility.   KEYWORDS: Intentionality in the news; Fake news; Note of repudiation.     RESUMEN   Este artículo discute a través del estudio de caso el uso de la Nota de Repudio como una estrategia del periódico en línea Roraima em Tempo para defender y restaurar la credibilidad de las noticias producidas y difundidas por el periodismo digital en la era de las noticias falsas.

This article presents a case study of student-initiated use of Facebook Groups in doing a team project for an online journalism course. Drawing upon the concept of affinity space and a theoretical taxonomy of asynchronous online discussion, the present study triangulates classroom observation, semi-structured student interviews, and microanalysis of posting activities of a student-initiated Facebook group. The findings suggest a shift of attention from instructor-centered course design to student-initiated use of social networking sites for learning online journalism. Instructors are invited to position themselves as facilitators and to take an intersubjective stance when designing computer-assisted learning activities.

Abstract Our contribution deals with an Austrian case study on racist discourse strategies in the forums of the Austrian online newspaper derStandard.at. First, we will consider forums as a communicative form characterised by specific linguistic features as well as its technical and functional design. Furthermore, we will present an analysis of the reader’s postings from a critical-discursive perspective following the discourse-historical approach, where the readers’ comments on articles on migration and language are investigated against the background of online-specific communication. Another subject of discussion will be areas of conflict between freedom of expression, deliberation and the ‘censorship’ of the forums by the editorial staff with the help of semi-automated tools for filtering out explicit racist postings. Finally, we discuss chances and risks of the investigated forums regarding discursive and social practices within democratically constituted societies and address the question which actions can be taken to improve the quality of such forums.

An investigative reporting has changed quite rapidly in the last few periods after the development of information technology. The presence of online media encourages the emergence of online journalism. The existence of online journalism, within the framework of online media, gives a certain touch to investigative reporting activities. Investigative reporting developed in online media has managerial uniqueness and certain coverage patterns. The purpose of this study is to illustrate how the management of editorials and online media coverage patterns in Indonesia conducting investigative coverage.Data for this research is obtained through interviews with data analysis using a qualitative approach and a case study method of single case-multilevel analysis. Research subjects (journalism) and research objects (online investigative news) of this study are Detik.com and Tirto.id.The results of the study show that investigative data are at the core of investigative reporting in online media. It can be in the form of direct observation under investigation (disguising) or the disclosure of new facts that have not been revealed before. The online news media in Indonesia, although it relies on the speed, also still takes into account the accuracy and rules of journalism, especially in the coverage of investigations. The online media strategy in reporting investigations is to divide investigative data into several news stories with one theme, but each headline is different according to the investigative reporting to be reported in parts.

This mixed methods case study on the international newspaper coverage of women in the  Tibetan  riots  in  March  2008  analyses  to  what extent  women  are  represented according to prevailing gender stereotypes in conflict news. The study largely confirms news media’s gender bias, in that news media hides women’s agency. Women are either not included in the studied 62 articles from International Herald Tribune, China Daily, and  the  Tibet  Post  International, or represented according  to  prevailing  gender stereotypes, namely as passive feminine objects. Interestingly, Chi-square testing  reveals  that  the Tibet Post International, an online newspaper  run  by  Tibetan  exiles,  deviated from  the  general  tendency  by  representing remarkably frequent images of active Tibetan women. Around one-third (32 percent) of the Tibet Post  International’s articles  included press  photos featuring women and the clear  majority  (88  percent)  of  these  images represented  them  as  active.  However,  the qualitative  part  of  the study  tells  that  text  associated  with  the  newspaper’s  images  of active Tibetan women reduced these women’s perceived agency. When introducing text into  the  interpretation  of  these  images,  the  women in  many  cases  were  turned  into potential victims. This points out that text-image interaction is an often overlooked, yet integral part of assigning meaning in conflict news.

Self Authorship

To self-author means to have the capacity to make coherent and informed decisions based on one’s internal beliefs and to not rely on, or be swayed by, external sources; to trust one’s internal voice and identity. In this article, I look to self-authorship as a framework to enable the illustrator to better understand personal engagement and experience of practice and visual identity through critically informed decision-making based on one’s internal beliefs; using self-authorship as a phenomenological approach to practice, encouraging the exploration of and reflection on the individual facets of process and self with a more reflective and critical eye. Two case studies set the foundation of this article, and in case study one, I reflect on using personal sketchbooks created on a master’s degree and later during a period of great personal distress. As an established illustrator, I explore the way these sketchbooks have revealed the lengthy steps of redefinition of my practice over the past decade or more. Presenting a renewed ‘sense of identity’ for me as practitioner and for the work I create. Case study two is a prelude to the conclusion and sets in place a context for my own self-authorship as a picturebook maker. Building on Fauchon and Gannon’s Manifesto for Illustration Pedagogy, through personal exploration of self-authorship and the role of the sketchbook, this article presents the use and analysis of the sketchbook and mark making as a route to 'visual self-discovery' towards a more authentic picturebook practice.
