SUMMARY:

This work aims to investigate photojournalism in its platformization phenomenon, a process also present in other fields of communication, and the aesthetic, technical and deontological tensions resulting from this movement. To this end, it was necessary to visit the three revolutions in current affairs photography proposed by Jorge Pedro Sousa (2000) and reflect on this content about contemporary photojournalism routines. The intention of this methodology is to understand the “levers” that are powerful enough to function as a midpoint to guide the practice of photojournalism. The pivot point chosen for the first moments of the research is located in the photograph “The death of a militiaman”, by Robert Capa (1936). Assuming this image as the midpoint of the practice of press photography, the thoughts of McLuhan (1964) and Barthes (1980) are invoked to justify the consolidation of photography as an instrument at the service of journalism. In developing the research, we focused on the second and third revolutions in photojournalism, not with the aim of establishing a historiography of this language, but rather, searching for an identification for photojournalism along the static line of time and finding an image central, like a timeless arrow, that is pervasive throughout all phases of current affairs photography. In time, based on Afonso Júnior (2021) and Jenkins (2006 and 2014), we will address the context of convergence culture and widespread connection, added to news photography embarked on digital platforms, thus verifying what arrangements exist in this scenario, and how platformization interferes in the way of producing, distributing and accessing photography. Finally, the epistemic argument is developed on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can penetrate the content of the news, refuting the characteristics of the beginning of photojournalism when photography would serve as the basis for an illustration.
