Abstract

In this article, we intend to reflect about the journalistic use of contents generated by devices that visually register the world (such as surveillance cameras, amateurs cameras, cell phones, tablets and computers) in order to verify how the ubiquity of these technical devices has operated reconfigurations in television journalism. In search of a more precise approach, we investigate a news story generated by an amateur camera with narrative focus in first person. Therefore, we intend to observe the narrative strategies employed by the journalistic instance for use of this material - in order to investigate how it explores an aesthetic of flagrant (Bruno, 2013) and how this aesthetic is implemented in the news story from the appropriation of that Jost (2007) conceptualizes as violent images, based on the achievement of a perceptive shock to the viewer.
