MEDIA CREDIBILITY AND ETHICS IN TELEVISION NEWS
BIANCA-MARINA MITUABSTRACT. We shall focus here on the complex reconstructive and subjective nature of news reception, the different ways the audience constructs meaningful interpretations from the news, exposure to news and the con- struction of images of reality. Schaap describes differences and similarities in television news interpretations, and relates them to differences and similarities in the audience. Porto analyzes the changes in TV Globo’s model of journalism, seeking to contribute to the development of theoretical perspectives that can account for changes in television journalism practices in transitional societies. Fenton et al. remark that the news organizations have responded to the new climate by investing heavily in online platforms, capitalising on their market dominance and brand loyalty, and increasing their audience share online.
