Abstract

In the last decade, the design of news websites underwent considerable transformation, which in particular affected practices regarding the insertion of photographs. This is a phase of consolidation and increased maturity. Websites derived from the press have started moving away from the formulas used in their printed homologues and radio and television news websites have adjusted their products. This article analyses photography in order to understand its trends and contribution to the development of Internet Media.
