The thesis was the winner of the Capes Award in the area of
Applied Social Sciences in 2006, with the original title of O Jornalismo no conglomerado de mÃdia: reestruturação produtiva sob o capitalismo global (Journalism in the media conglomeration: production restructuring under global capitalism). For editorial reasons, it became Indústria de notÃcias: capitalismo e novas tecnologias no jornalismo contemporâneo (News industry: capitalism and new technologies in contemporary journalism), a name which doubtlessly better expresses the results which the author obtained in her academic work. We are really in a period of mass production of news, as in a factory or in the post-Fordian assembly line which Fonseca points to, and the objective of this great network, for which the electronic machines supply the power, is profit.
