- Human Being as a Communication Portal: The construction of the Profile on Mobile PhonesPublication . Canavilhas, João; Fidalgo, António; Correia, João Carlos; Carvalheiro, José Ricardo; Serrano Tellería, AnaThe incorporation of mobile phones in the daily life of human being not only alters space and time dimensions, but it also changes the perception and the way we relate with the ecosystem. Methodology. The state of the art is analyzed from the technological concept of intimacy, used by Boyce and Hancock, which describes the levels of interaction between man and technology. Then, a methodology to explore issues increasingly pressing is proposed, especially, concerning the delimitation of public and private spheres and the interaction in the common space. Results and conclusions. Following in particular the theories of Castells, Heidegger, Meyrowitz and Habermas; a set of categories for deepening the concepts of spatialization, willingness and profile are articulated. These concepts are identified as key elements in this first stage of the project for the analysis of the human being as a communication portal.
- Whose is the agenda? Contents, practices and values in Portuguese regional newspapersPublication . Carvalheiro, José Ricardo; Correia, João Carlos; Canavilhas, JoãoThis article shows results from the project “Citizens’ agenda: journalism and civic participation in Portuguese media”, involving research on a sample of regional newspapers geographically distributed throughout the country. Through content analysis of sources, topics and framing, we sketch the general picture painted by the regional press. Drawing on inquiries to journalists and directors we also aim to understand which professional practices and values are prominent in regional press, paying special attention to questions linking journalism to democratic systems. Results indicate that recent trends of professionalization and commercialization prompted Portuguese local press towards the liberal model, which means growing autonomy from the state and politics, but also includes disengagement from civic pursuits of “general interest”.
