Мултимедийната журналистика в българските телевизионни и онлайн медии с. 10-40 Медиалог/ Medialog, бр. 8/2020 Резюме: Мултимедийната журналистика обхваща създаването от традиционните и онлайн медиите на медийно съдържание, което включва аудио, видео и текст и което се разпространява чрез интернет. Мултимедийното съдържание се отнася към ползвания интерфейс, навигацията в сайтовете, включването на анимация и флаш изображения, онлайн реклама, използването на приложения (онлайн игри, слушане на музика в реално време, гледане на филми, участие в социални мрежи). Изследването изяснява особености на мултимедийната журналистика, формите на мултимедийно съдържание, което се използва от българските телевизионни и онлайн медии при представяне на новини, създадени със съучастието на аудиторията. Ключови думи: мултимедийна журналистика, телевизия, онлайн медии, конвергенция, потребителска информация Abstract: The multimedia journalism includes the media content (audio, video, text), which is created by the traditional and online media via internet. The multimedia content concerns the websites' interface and navigation, use of animation and flash images, online advertising, use of applications for online gaming, listening of music or watching movies by steaming platforms, social networking communication. The research presents the multimedia journalism features in Bulgarian TV and online media for the news production, created by the audience participation. Промените в медийната среда през последните години са резултат както от високата степен на технологични нововъведения, появата на разнообразни медийни форми, увеличаването на медийните канали и трансформираните предпочитания на аудиторията към определени от тях, така и от развитието на обществото.

The Reality TV significant contribution is the discrepancy between public and private, the viewers' possibility to see themselves and their problems into participants' behavior. Although the Reality TV shows present voyeurism, scandal and conflict, media audience may control the program narrative. These programs are entertainment form, but they engage the society with charity, define the media agenda setting, and present definitive socio-cultural models, national peculiarities, which answer to the media audience needs, which are general as cultural sense and social behavior. There are different Reality TV forms worldwide. Most of them represent local edition for the local media audience. In Bulgaria the Reality TV started in 2004 and it has had significant influence of the media content ever since. The Reality TV places substantial problems at the media sphere, connected with media reliability, media post-colonialism, media manipulation, and media pluralism.

The negative public and media reaction of the advertisement campaign is a result of public understanding of children’s needs, protective laws, ethical guidelines, and changed expectations of Bulgarian society. This is not the first problematic case—public reaction few years ago when the Bulgarian version of the popular reality TV program “Big Brother” included children among participants.

Many researchers work on the mediatisation of emotions, such as digital mourning practices (Giaxoglou and Doveling, 2018), mediated anger in political covering (Wahl-Jorgensen, 2019), affective news in journalism (Beckett and Deuze, 2016), digital affect cultures (Döveling et al., 2018), affective publics (Papacharissi, 2015), etc. More and more TV channels include good news in their newscasts. The incorporation of positive news values indicates the society’s need of a positive model for personal development and social prosperity. This is typical for social media, as well as for traditional media, where dramatic, tragic, funny, and emotional news dominates, too. My research covers the weekly program “We believe in the good”, which is part of the evening newscasts of Bulgarian private TV channel bTV. The case study is based on an observation of the program for a period of 55 months (November 2014 – May 2019) and covers 163 news pieces that are analysed by different criteria, such as dominant topics, forms of positive news, civil participation, opinion sources of information, types of personal reaction, and collective solidarity). The good news reports as part of Bulgarian newscasts express the traditional features of the Bulgarian society – kindness, mutuality, collaboration. The good news is an example of the new social values that arise from the democratisation of the country – a liberal model of cultural, social, and economic development.

The digitalization of news production increases the chances for citizens to participate in the production of media content with amateur pictures, user generated videos, funny or news-oriented photos, post or tweets, polls, streaming and interact with newsrooms. The media content analysis presented here studies the forms of participatory journalism in three leading Bulgarian TV channels – the first channel of the public Bulgarian National Television (BNT) and the two largest private channels, bTV and Nova TV. The research is based on their evening newscasts for a period of two months (November, December 2018). The television content was coded using criteria such as audience activity, forms of user-generated content (UGC), material types, news placement, topics and sentiment of the news, reporting cycle, or opinion model.
