Description
Summary:The present text suggests a discussion about the reconfigurations through which the area of journalism passes from the insertion of mobile and ubiquitous technologies and, more specifically, the locative media and its functions and services geolocalized in the day to day of the citizens. The analysis will serve as a preamble for the discussion about the new hyperlocal scenario in which the process of building journalism with direction for new panoramas in the digital environment and its implications at the local level is inserted. Therefore, the approach of hyperlocal journalism as a public arena will also be debated; taking into account the ambience of inclusiveness, non-coercion and reciprocity that give potential for the promotion of a space for debate among the many voices of society on different subjects; considering a flow of information that promotes the consolidation of public opinions and the encouragement of public debate at the local level.
