Highlights
Howard (2014) claims that news apps and metrics are two central elements which impact the way media organizations distribute information to their readers, in what he is followed by Newman et al (2018, p. 10), which state that “News apps, email newsletters, and mobile notifications continue to gain in importance”, there is already a sense of information overload for users
The case of Circa is important for understanding the dynamics of using notifications in a mobile-first outlet, while researching mobile editorial decisions in the early 21st century
According to Corrêa and Bertocchi (2012), the information world has been demanding a repositioning of communication professionals who, today, have, more than ever, exercised a curatorial function: the communicator becomes a curator of content capable of adding new and unusual perspectives to information, offering readers elements of surprise (Corrêa and Bertocchi, 2012). This idea is in line with what Carlson and Usher (2016) advocate, which, in the case of Circa News, have pointed to initiatives that seek to transform the way journalism works, in an approach defending the atomization of news
Summary
In a ubiquitous and mobile informational environment, companies and content producer try to adapt. Howard (2014) claims that news apps and metrics are two central elements which impact the way media organizations distribute information to their readers, in what he is followed by Newman et al (2018, p. 10), which state that “News apps, email newsletters, and mobile notifications continue to gain in importance”, there is already a sense of information overload for users. We have the rise of push messages. They are notifications through messages that serve to alert users when breaking news are happening around the world (Stroud et al, 2016). Its main principle was atomizing the news, seeking to alter the way information is structured inside a journalistic discourse, in order to distribute it more swiftly. We analyzed, employing content analysis (Bardin, 2006), push messages sent by Circa News throughout 2013, 2014 and 2015 (the years the app was available), verifying which sections received more focus and how, along the years, the news judgement was developed and refined after a better understanding of the public’s interest inside a journalistic startup which existed primarily in a mobile world
