PRODUÇÃO INDEPENDENTE: A migração de jornalistas para o YouTube

Abstract

Journalism for years has been employing fundamentals that help communication vehicles define what is not news. On television, for example, vehicles prioritize matters they consider most relevant. In this way, the professionals produce news according to the need employed, without being able to take into consideration subjects they like. YouTube now provides free online space for creators to populate their videos on what they want and how they want. This freedom of creation drew attention from journalists and inspired them to dedicate themselves to producing videos as a profession. The aim of this article is to compare the journalistic techniques used in the essays for the elaboration of audiovisual content for YouTube. We will analyze the channels "Me Poupe!" and "Eu Vejo", both of journalists with a vast experience within national television news. The methodology used was qualitative descriptive research, with data analysis, videos, approach styles and influences on the canals. Because YouTube is one of the largest search sites in the world, it is possible that through the application of techniques, good elaboration and argumentation, the channels are capable of building recognition and credibility online, making the platform a good competitor of traditional media.
