This paper observes the growing influence of designers and programmers in the journalistic work within online newsrooms. Described as “tecnoactors”, these professionals acquire visibilityby mastering professional expertise, decisive in the production of news. The purpose here is to investigate how journalists, designers and programmers establish negotiations during production routines. The empirical study is delimited to six online newsrooms – three from Brazil and three from Portugal –where 17 semi-structured interviews with members of the professional categories were made. The qualitative analysis focus onfour themes: 1) negotiation processes; 2) news concept; 3) physical distance versus epistemic distance; 4) professional hybridity.Downloads
