Hypermediatic Radio Journalism: a study about the multimedia narrative and technological convergence on France Info radio

Abstract

This article discusses audio and multimedia languages for contemporary radio journalism. We analyze the special “40 ans après...”, developed in 2009. The main results are the discussion on the role of infographics as a tool for expanding content and importance of reviewing routines and narratives on the radio. The multimedia journalism developed at France Info site assumes a role of extending and complementing the original content, data transmission via dial and retransmission via streaming.
