The Transformations on the Journalist’s Ethos: the reformulation of professional values upon a convergence cenary

Abstract

This current research aims to analyze how journalists identify changes on the professional ethos and which values emerge in journalism. As a theoretical base, concepts of media convergence, professional ethos, newsmaking, expanded radio and multifunctional professional are used. The empirical development is given by excerpts from the results obtained from the author’s master’s dissertation, presented at the beginning of 2017. As a main result, even though some traditional values are still present in journalistic duties, other disappear from the speech of professionals and new values arise as indicators at newsrooms.
