Ciberjornalismo na lusofonia: contributo para um mapeamento

Abstract

With this study we've intend to verify the extent to which online media (news websites) of Lusophone countries are harnessing the journalistic potential of Internet, and whether there are significant differences from country to country. We also wanted to know which capabilities are more and less used, and compare the results with those obtained in other studies based on the same methodology. As expected, the results show a lack of a single standard that features the Lusophone online journalism, as well as a clear divide between Iberia / Brazil, with higher levels of use of the potentialities of the Internet, and Africa, with the lowest values. These results suggest a direct relation between online journalism development levels in each country and the respective levels of economic development.
