INNOVATION AND JOURNALISTIC REVITALIZATION

Journalistic revitalization analyzes the impact of news innovations, mapping practices that challenge traditional news discourse and reflect Media actuality. Using case studies and discursive analysis, the focus is on internationally award-winning news practices between 2020 and 2022, in an academic, dense, and methodical style, supported by a link between theory and practice. In dialogue with Martín-Barbero and Landowski, Uhry proposes the concept of a Relational Map to integrate different dimensions and their intersections in the current context, addressing the crisis in journalism and relating it to the need for innovation and adaptation to new technologies. The Relational Map allows different dimensions of discourse to be connected and solutions to identified problems to be suggested. The analysis of award-winning news stories is enriched by theoretical discussion, providing insights into the future of news. By integrating theories of communication, sociology, and semiotics, the complexity of the news landscape is highlighted, which is revitalized by adopting innovative practices that dialogue with the technological, social, and aesthetic demands of the 21st century, emphasizing the role of journalism as a mediator of discourse in a changing communicative ecosystem. This suggests possibilities for rethinking news practices in global and local contexts.
