The transformations in radiojournalism in the mobile ecosystem: a possible radiomorphosis

Abstract

This article analyzes characteristics of the journalistic narrative in the TSF Radio News app, from Lisbon, Portugal, compared with that of the radio station website. From a theoretical and methodological framework, radio journalism mutations founded on the logics of the mobile ecosystem were identified. In the app of the radio station TSF, the contents analyzed in the sample revealed that the radio narrative was still not adapted from the web version to the mobile version. The incorporation of multimediatic narratives occurs, but the content has simply been transposed into the app. Thus, the radio station may also explore the technical characteristics of mobile devices, being able to adapt its radio journalistic content production even more to the logics of the digital ecosystem, especially to the demands of mobile usage.
