“…Figures such as these support an understanding of Facebook as a job engine, omitting that as a result of the platform's growth, vast job numbers have also disappeared: Between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s, print media started to struggle with the transition to (additional) digital editions, while simultaneously facing revenue losses due to a massive shift of advertisement flowing to Facebook and other platforms (ACCC (Australian Competition & Consumer Commission), 2018). As a result, many daily newspapers went bankrupt in the 2000s (Herndon, 2012), while journalists were replaced with 'authors' (O'Regan & Young, 2019). By implication, power over news flows (and hence opinion) shifted, while investigative journalism controlling the dealings of large corporations disappeared (Carson, 2014).…”

The digital information age has changed global tourism in profound ways. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are pervasive, and they have become inextricably linked with contemporary consumer cultures. ICTs represent affordances: to apprise, plan, order, network, socialize, stream, transact and rate. These are remunerated with concessions in the form of consumer data that is used to determine product/ service marketability, and to predict and manipulate consumer choices. As a result, ICTs have profoundly changed society, with repercussions for identity formation, social norms, and business structures. Tourism is at the forefront of these developments: as a driver of ICT introductions, an arena for testing & trialing, and a global market. This paper critically examines these developments and its linkages to tourism and sustainability goals, concluding that existing academic assessments are optimistic, simplistic and monocausal, with a focus on business and marketing opportunities. Tourism appears to have developed through four stages of ICT adoption -opportunity, disruption, immersion and usurpation -, which reflect on new opportunities and risks, and the need for more critical evaluations of the implications of the ICT economy.

“…The causes of this decline have been connected, among other things, to the audience’s loss of confidence in the news media (Liu 2017), perceived isolation from the political process, and decreased social capital for public dialog (Mindich 2004; Stromback and Shehata 2010). Changes in patterns of media use, in particular the increasing role played over time by the Internet and social media, have further exacerbated this decline in news media consumption (Cardenal et al 2019; Herndon 2012).…”

In recent years, the news media landscape has been characterized by two distinct patterns: a decline in newspaper circulation, and a persistent degree of ideological slant in newspapers’ position. We explore a possible nexus between these two phenomena by means of a model that extends some recent developments in the empirical spatial theory of voting to the reader’s choice with respect to newspapers. We assume that ideological proximity to a newspaper affects the choice made by a consumer to read it. Newspapers will then compete among themselves to maximize their respective readerships by finding an optimal placement in the ideological space. However, newspapers can also decide to target readers of a specific type. As we will show, this is a crucial step to take into consideration. We empirically apply our model to the Italian case. We show that Italian newspapers appear largely to behave as theoretically expected. However, the “ideological force” behind this conclusion must be sought in newspapers’ competition with respect to that subset of readers which can be identified as regular ones. This result highlights a possible mechanism driving a persistent newspaper ideological slant in time of lower newspaper circulation.

Foi identificada uma lacuna na literatura, com a ausência de estudos de cenários prospectivos que discorram sobre as indústrias de jornalismo digital. Assim, esta pesquisa objetiva prospectar cenários para a indústria de jornalismo digital do Brasil no horizonte 2020 a 2030, a partir do contexto da pandemia Covid-19. A pesquisa é descritiva, qualitativa e quantitativa, com coleta de dados secundários e entrevistas com 28 expertises (mestres, doutores e especialistas em jornalismo digital), usando técnicas de análise de conteúdo, método de pertinência, probabilidade e favorabilidade e storytelling. Dois cenários foram prospectados: realista e pessimista. Um olhar mais realista e favorável cairá sobre as fontes de múltiplas receitas que serão os mantenedores e propulsores das Redações durante e após a pandemia. Já os fatores exógenos, como a restrição à liberdade de imprensa, recessão social e o aumento da inflação serão os eventos que mais impactarão no cenário pessimista.
