This article aims to problematize the production and distribution of videos by printed newspapers considering the continuities and discontinuities of these experiments. Through interviews with reporters and editors of the newspapers Diário de Pernambuco and Jornal do Commércio, the new challenges that face the journalistic practice are questioned, either by the plural routines and actors who assume the image and sound in the production of the written text, or through the strategies plurals of the use of audiovisual in digital networks, either through plural interests that seek to monetize these strategies. In addition to the technological aspect that the use of video highlights, the research demonstrates the plurality of: practice, actors and interests at stake. http://preprints.ibict.br/handle/1618034/45 http://preprints.ibict.br/handle/1618034/44 Preprint title (English): Local radio without borders: the experimentation of a Portuguese community broadcaster on the Internet (in Portuguese) Author(s): Jorge, Thais de Mendonça; Batista, Paula Cristina Brito Editor responsible for the desk review: Storch, Laura Abstract (English): Hyperlocal journalism, understood as the type of journalism practiced and undertaken in small communities around the world, is part of the media ecosystem, but it is rarely recognized for its importance. With the withdrawal of media companies from smaller locations, in the beginning of the 21st century, hyperlocal journalism has resumed its space thanks to the Internet, exploring the streak of community news with a view to reaching audiences in various parts of the world. This study focuses on Portugal and investigates how hyperlocal news is being made on a radio in the interior of the country - Rádio Cova da Beira (RCB). The results of content analysis on the website, interviews and participant observation in the newsroom of the broadcaster based in Fundão show that this model of local journalism values culture, but faces serious structural and financial problems. http://preprints.ibict.br/handle/1618034/44
