Abstract

The flow of information in the newsroom of journalism companies poses challenges to professional journalists users of information, specifically in cases involving the news production. These methods comprise the steps of data collection; determination of fact; description of that information; and dissemination of information. In this set, we aimed to investigate the news production processes in journalistic units and their informativeness of conditions for construction of meaning. Therefore, we seek to specifically describe the information flows involving the construction of the news; identify the sources of information that subsidize the construction of the news in journalistic units and their reliability interfaces; check the political and social aspects that influence the organization and communication of news as significant structure; and examine the conditions of informativeness in production processes, communication and use of information in journalistic units. Its universe seven television stations holding public concession in the State of Paraíba: TV Correio (Record), TV Arapuã (TV Network), TV Tambaú (SBT), TV Cabo Branco (Globo), TV Clube (Band) TV Paraíba - (Globo) and TV Borborema (SBT). In the methodological procedures, we adopted the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD), proposed by Lefèvre and Lefèvre (2003), which reveals itself as an orderly and effective tool of communication, which is the basis of all social representations. The study presents a qualitative perspective, the approach deepens the investigation of the universe of meanings of human actions and relations, according to Minayo (1996), this approach is concerned with a level of reality that can not be quantified because it meets the nature of meanings, motives, aspirations, beliefs, values and attitudes, conditions indicated to choose the DSC method. During data collection, we used semi-structured oral interviews with text editors Mail Television System, affiliated to Rede Record in Paraíba and TV Club Band affiliate in Paraíba. The two companies have different aspects as culture, ideology and ratings. Although occupying different in that values the ideological currents, the condition of informativeness these journalistic units is similar on how to approach and editorial referrals. The results show that editorial control mechanisms cover political and economic forces, they regulate the flow of journalistic information. The reliability information is the result of this process, since it is shaped to suit individual interests and therefore the newspaper is diluted in the customary which reads the work ethic. Information sources that support data and journalistic facts become secondary, the spread of journalistic information once meets the reports and dictates of mercantile institutions, understood in this context as expressions of power from the design of Foucault (2012). These events indicate direct interference from political and economic forces in the construction of the meaning of information, so journalists are professionals under the umbrella of these organizations that, in turn, shape the daily events from their interests, compromising aspects of informativeness in production of news in journalistic units
