News Agency Journalism in the Age of Mobility: strategies and experiences in search for insertion
Keywords:
News Agencies, Mobile Journalism, News Apps.Abstract
This paper identifies news agencies’ strategies for diversifying their news products on mobile platforms, regarding the particular features of news agency journalism. Based on recent analyses of journalism produced by agencies in the digital age, their canonical concepts as “news wholesalers” with an economic role in the news distribution are put to the test, as well as and their usual characteristics of speed, centrality and linearity in the face of challenges posed by mobility, that impact both the production routines in newsrooms as their market and customer base. At the end, we draw a structural comparison between mobile apps of five global news agencies (Reuters, AP, AFP, EFE and Lusa), in order to describe how these companies have entered the mobile.
