4° Semana de Comunicação Social da UESPI de Picos – Práticas Jornalísticas: Diversidade de Gêneros e Multiplataformas

Abstract

The fourth edition of the Social Communication Week at UESPI Picos addressed the need to reflect on communication, journalism, and their impacts on society. This was the second time the event was held online and, unfortunately, during the coronavirus pandemic. However, we emphasized the importance of debate and research, even when separated by screens. The multiplicity of approaches expanded in the scientific productions shared in our two Working Groups (WGs). In the Journalism Studies WG, we welcomed researchers with news analyses in specialized and non-specialized journalism, in their relationships with different spaces and temporalities, from the present to the past. In the Communication Processes WG, the interdisciplinarity of the field generated the studies presented, with a scope that ranged from discussions on method, through analyses of discourses and textual or image-based media narratives, to the proposal for the creation of a communication agency. This book of proceedings presents diverse and necessary discussions within the university and society in general. These are studies that demonstrate what the fourth edition of our event was like and what the UESPI Picos Communication Week is: comprehensive, diverse, plural, creative and constructive. We invite you, the reader, to explore the experience of this edition through the expanded summaries published here.
