O fazer jornalismo no X (Twitter): a busca de informações através de "Choquei"

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the practice of journalism on X (formerly Twitter) and understand how some entertainment pages approach informative content on their profiles. The starting point is the concept of infotainment, the construction of a historical overview of journalism and the ways in which a news is created. The block is guided by names such as Nilson Lage (2014), Nelson Traquina (2005), Fábia Angélica Dejavite (2006), Mauro Wolf (2003), among others. In a second step, the focus is on understanding how the dynamics of interaction/relationship between users take place in the digital space and how the production of content on these entertainment pages that absorb news material within their editorial line is thought out. To this end, the studies and reflections of Luís Martino, Raquel Recuero (2009), Ramón Salaverría (2024) and Palácios (1999) are used. In an attempt to prove in practical terms everything that was discussed in the theoretical part, the research is based on a case analysis of 70 tweets collected from the Choquei page on the X platform, analyzing their content and classifying them into thematic blocks. After the analysis, it was concluded that the page could not be considered a producer of conscious journalism, but that it would still gain access to internet users due to the engagement and social capital promoted in its internal dynamics.
